On the occasion, the students also prepared scrumptious traditional Chinese snacks like Dumplings known as “Jaozi” with the help of Chef Sandip Chatterjee and played games of “mahjong”.
The Chinese, Indian and American students prepared for this festival for a month and decorated the doors and windows with red color paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of "good fortune" or "happiness", "wealth", and "longevity”.
Commending the initiative, Dr. J. Singh, Chairperson - International Relations at XLRI remarked, “It is truly a reflection of the powerful path on which the unique Global MBA program travels. The event was truly an excellent event for networking and connecting with Chinese business exchange students’ part of the Global MBA with those from the rest of campus. This first Chinese New Year Celebration at XLRI by the Global Cohort will hopefully be a tradition for years to come.”
Fr. Alwin Rodriguez also congratulating the students for the initiative encouraged them to continue the tradition next year.
