On July 23, 2024, the Department of Commerce and the Entrepreneurship Knowledge Cell invited Mr. C. Lalmuankima, Proprietor of Aizawl Garbo to speak at a session of Meet the Entrepreneur: A Special Lecture Series, which has been organised every semester for B.Com students since 2022. One hundred ninety three (193) students and five (5) faculty members attended the special lecture and learnt how Aizawl Garbo is working to solve the garbage problem in Aizawl city.
The students came away from the programme learning that good business ideas can also be generated by solving immediate and local problems. The resource person also encouraged the students to take action on their ideas, even if they feel unprepared, and not sit around waiting for perfect conditions to present themselves. Dr. Zolianzuali chaired the programme and R. Lalmalsawma gave the vote of thanks, concluding the lecture session.
