Walkathon is a social event conducted annually as part of MPBIM's management fest - PARADIGM. It is an event where students from top B-schools, associate corporate and individuals from across the city would walk for a noble cause. The Walkathon is aimed at raising funds for a noble cause. During the previous years we have been associated with NGOs like Spastics Society of Karnataka (2004), Freedom Foundation (2004), Mathru Blind School (2005), Rakum Blind School (2005), KPAMRC, Bangalore (2006), Opportunity School, Kodagu (2006), MathruShree Manovikasa Kendra (2008), Gandhi Old Age Home (2008) and have been able to support them.

Walkathon 2009 is scheduled on 15th of April, 2009. This year we would be walking for the under-privileged children of Sri Krishna Anatha Shishu Nivas (Regd). It is an initiative dedicated to the cause of bringing up orphaned children. They provide them with basic needs of living and education facilities. They also believe in honing their skills and talents to ensure that they turn out to be responsible citizens of our country.

Over the past few years, we have had tremendous support from the likes of top corporate honchos and business houses. The major retail formats and malls have also pitched in for this noble cause and have helped us make the event a huge success. We thank these organizations for supporting us in this initiative.

The various malls are :

		Sigma Mall
		Safina Plaza
		Landmark (The Forum Mall)
		Lido Mall
		Bangalore Central

With their unstinted support, helping the needy would have been extremely difficult. In the same vein, we request your active participation to help us raise funds for the needy and deserving.

Sri Krishna Anatha Shishu Nivas
