SMILE
As a part of its community outreach programme, IIMA alongwith the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has set up a supplementary education/resource centre called Student-Mediated Initiative for Learning to Excel or SMILE for the benefit of underprivileged students living in and around Vastrapur, where the Institute is located. Through this initiative, classes are conducted for students from Class IX to Class XII by a volunteer team from IIMA, under the guidance of the Dean (Alumni & External Relations).
