In a unique initiative, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) organized 'Dinner in the Dark' event on Sunday evening on its new campus. Students and faculty members were served food in complete darkness in an auditorium so that they can understand blindness and empathise with visually-impaired persons.

The event was held by Equal Opportunities Student Committee (EOSC) of the institute where a panel of five blind persons from a city-based organization engaged them in a discussion based on audience questions. The event was held from 6pm to 8pm on Sunday at PP Gupta Auditorium of the new campus in which around 150 members of the 14 A-League institutions including IIM-A, IIT-Gandhinagar, NID, Gujarat University and GNLU participated, said organisers of the event.
