What is the situation at IIM Kozhikode due to Kerala floods?

Unlike the other parts of Kerala, IIM Kozhikode was left mostly unscathed owing to its remarkable architecture and altitude. Some of the people I know who have graduated from there have said that the floods have left them deep emotional scars.

The Social Service Group of the institute successfully distributed funds, packed food, clothes, blankets, bed sheet, sanitary napkins, and other required amenities, with the help of faculty, students, and alumni.

The helpful acts included the following.
