From the Desk of
Patron
A Word From
the Director
In
the
present
competitive era, the
more creative and
innovative you and
your team members
are, the more longterm success you’ll
achieve. So rather
than constantly
chasing “the next big
idea” we must bring
creativity and innovation in whatever we do. Creativity
and Innovation are not just about developing great new
ideas; they are about turning those great ideas into great
new products or services that people really need.
The twenty fifth
anniversary of IMS,
Ghaziabad provides
exceptional opportunity
to reflect on
transformative
moments that have
shaped our Institute’s
distinctive. There have
been many initiatives
taken by the institute in
order to make a landmark by signing MOU’s with
Zhejiang University, China, University of Atlanta,
USA and Jamia Hamdard University, India for
promoting research.
Overall development of the individual is the ethical
goal of education from all the perspectives. This
neccessitates incredible efforts on the part of all
concerned. This gesture is a tribute to maintain standard
of excellence in academics and commitment to quality
education.
There are strong challenges to great efforts but, we
always remember that great effort bears the sweet fruit
of success. We want our students to taste the fruit of
success once and for the rest of their life, they will never
rest. We started our journey with challenging
experiences in the process to emerge into a reputed
institute with a laudable ambition of spreading
education to meet the educational needs of the aspirant
youth.
Here at IMS, our vision, mission, and values, on the
basis of which we have been able to establish this
prestigious institute, are quite pragmatic enough to
provide high quality education to our students. The
holistic approach of IMS stimulates innovation among
students by inspiring fresh ideas with different
perceptiveness, creative thinking and strong conviction
to achieve true success.
We at IMS are in the pursuit of global standards of
excellence in all our endeavors and we aim at creating
all rounded personality in our students, professionally
and socially. Hence, we strive to travel beyond the
boundaries of mere books and make the students realize
that the future is abstract and unknown but the present
that is in our hands is real and can be moulded. This has
been acknowledge by global business houses during
our placement drives as well.
The institute presents a blend of traditional and modern
education where knowledge is imparted to the students
so that they may occupy a better place in the modern
competitive world and develop all round personalities
retaining the beauty of mind and intellect as well as of
soul. We feel it’s our moral obligation to help the
students grow to become exceptional human beings
empowered with academic excellence.
I appreciate the efforts of the entire Confluence
Editorial team who have done an excellent job in
compiling activities over the year and disseminated
them through this Magazine.
As we bring this year to an end and the New Year
begins. Let us pray that it will be a year with New
Peace, New Understanding and New Happiness.
We wish everyone a very Happy New Year as when the
New Year arrives; it brings new ideas and hopes for us
to make our lives good to better and better to best.

From The Editor’s Desk
Resolution sounds to be very simple word but plays
an important role in life. It teaches self control,
firmness and having belief in your thoughts. It is an
expression of dedication, which each intellect shall
carry throughout his life. Every individual must set a
self goal and then work towards achieving it.
Dr. Sunayana Jain
Editor
The first step to achieving one's goals is to start
developing strengths within the character and
develop an action plan to move forward and change.
We all are capable and there will be doubts and fears
when stepping out to achieve our goals and also we
have to move out of comfort zone. But in order to
accomplish this, we have to grit our teeth and work
through any fears that come across our way. If you
have clear goals and you believe you can reach them,
then your mind has the highest possible amount of
receptivity to elements that can help you reach your
goals. Thus you'll detect them quickly, even the subtle
ones, and you'll be able to employ them.
Dr. Yogita Sharma
Associate Editor
With this thought in mind, let us all start the coming
year. We wish everyone on this New Year and hope
that the coming year would bring us a lot more
opportunities and surprises.
