Activites of the Forum Of Rajagiri Management Students for 2017-18

I take great pleasure in presenting the annual report of Forum Of Rajagiri Management Students. The year 2017-18 was marked by many events and success stories. This can be attributed to the dedication and team spirit of the members of the management, staff and students. At this moment, we  remember the loss of Bimal Sebastian, one of our Junior FORMS members and Christy Philip, our friend who was always there for us.

The senior team of the FORMS executive committee consisted of 20 FORMS members,  representing every batch. A new team of 24 students from the batch of 2017-19 was inducted into the FORMS executive committee, of which 12 were elected and the other 12 were selected.

This report documents the wide array of events hosted at RCBS. This starts from the Felicitation Day, March 2nd 2017, when the new FORMS members took over their positions. The new chairman, Mr.Chris Mathew Regi was handed over  the role by the former chairman Mr.Bijo Mathew for the year 2017-18 and on the same day all the old coordinators of Rajagiri’s main events were felicitated with Mementos and the new coordinators were endowed with the responsibilities for the coming year. The list of activities conducted by FORMS is given below.
