IIPM Academics :- GOTA

surender_latwal@yahoo.co.in — Mon, 19 Jun 06 15:41:00 UT

IIPM Academics : GOTA

In the light of globalisation, students entering IIPM undergo a 2-3 weeks study tour to a selected country in Australia , Africa, Asia, America , Europe or China . During these 10-15 days the students are taught a special paper on Global Opportunity and Threat Analysis with assistance from faculty of the country visited, whenever available. The idea is to make students aware of how a truly global economy works and also to bring a fresh outlook to life conducive to entrepreneurial learning.

For Example:
During the GOTA visits, IIPM has conducted seminars and lectures with faculties/representatives from organisations/institutions like: Geneva Financial Centre Foundation, Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH-i, WTO, Nestle, European Free Trade Association, UNCTAD, Graduate Institute of International studies, Webster, The World Bank, Credit Suisse, Insead etc.

IIPM Academics :- Project Based Learning

surender_latwal@yahoo.co.in — Mon, 19 Jun 06 14:05:00 UT

Project Based Learning IIPM MANAGEMENT COURSES

Project Based Learning: IIPM's learning perspective pivots around 'workable knowledge' that emanates primarily from Project-Based Learning techniques. Throughout the year students are involved in diversified group projects and the third tri-semester is devoted full time for this. During this term the students work on a minimum of three group projects that allow complete exploration of a topic in the student's area of special interest. This involves meticulous research in the management practices of particular organizations or sectors. The IIPM professors interact with the student's individually on full time basis and discuss their plans, drafts and prototypes.

Project-based learning emphasizes on learning activities that are long-term, interdisciplinary, student-centred, and integrated with real world issues and practices. Encouraging students to work with their peers from different backgrounds, experiences, education and career aptitude facilitates the development and refinement of skills. It also increases the know-how of the industry and gives the students an edge at the time of their summer training and final placements.

Vevey, IMD Lausanne, Credit Suisse etc.) have created some of the highest standards in the management field.

Full time Programme in National Economic Planning and Entrepreneurship (leading to the award of the MBA degree from IMI): This is the renowned two year full time Master's residential program that leads to the award of the MBA degree from the International Management Institute, Belgium, one of the Europe's leading business schools.

ABOUT IIPM : MISSION

surender_latwal@yahoo.co.in — Mon, 19 Jun 06 13:20:00 UT

ABOUT IIPM : MISSION

The Indian Institute of Planning and Management has set before it the twin tasks: (1) to reorient education and research towards the needs of both the private and public (government) sectors and (2) to establish the link between the national economic planning and the development of private enterprises in our country. The Indian Institute of Planning and Management aims at initiating training and research on problems of development that must be solved for realizing planned national objectives. Unfortunately education in India has still remained primarily oriented towards the needs of the private sector and has overlooked the specific requirements of the public sector. India has even failed to do justice to the private sector by not properly formulating the basic framework within which they should operate. The scope and role of the Indian private sector, in the context of national economic planning, is quite distinct from that of the foreign private sector firms operating in free market economies originally developed through colonial exploitation.

Problems of development of the private and the public sectors are, therefore, to be studied and analyzed carefully in the background of national economic planning. Otherwise, India would not be able to translate the laudable goals of plans into physical realities, however sophisticated the planning models may be. Despite the basic differences that exist between the private and the public sector, once the strategy for planned development has been formulated, both the sectors must draw up their operational plans in a complementary way to realize the planned objectives. Otherwise, India may find the public and the private sectors working at cross-purposes. Undertaking objective commitments towards these goals, IIPM has set up various Centers to objectively support these goal oriented commitments. Foundations like the Great Indian Dream Foundation also are examples of the effectiveness that such movements can bring about.

As an educational institute, IIPM aims at developing a three dimensional personality in our students. (1) Pursuit of knowledge, (2) commitment to economic, social and cultural uplifting of masses and (3) cultivation of taste for literature, fine arts etc. IIPM's success is seconded by our turning out leaders and entrepreneurs year after year who are committed to the Indian masses and are so urgently needed by the country.

ABOUT IIPM :- HISTORY

surender_latwal@yahoo.co.in — Mon, 19 Jun 06 13:10:00 UT

ABOUT IIPM : HISTORY

In the mid 1960s, a proposal to set up an Institute under the name of "Institute for Planning and Administration of National Economy" was forwarded to Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Prime Minister of India and Chairman, Planning Commission, Government of India. A study tour was undertaken under Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri's commission during 1964-65 to acquire first hand knowledge about the working of similar institutions in Europe. A working paper on Regional Planning was circulated under the name of "Indian Institute of Planning" in 1969.

After resigning from Professorship at IIM (Indian Institute of Management) Bangalore, and after having been a Professor at XLRI Jamshedpur, Dr. Chaudhuri took over as Research Professor and founder Director of IIPM in 1973. Incidentally, Dr. Chaudhuri has also been the founder director of management courses at IMT Ghaziabad. At IIPM, the first residential full-time Post-Graduate Diploma Programme commenced on 12th August 1974, with students selected through admission tests and interviews held in New Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay & Bangalore. IIPM pioneered the all India admission procedure by holding admission tests and interviews in 15 centers, namely, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Mumbai (Bombay), Kolkata (Calcutta), Chandigarh, New Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Chennai, Patna & Trivandrum. The institute has, through the experiences of the past decades, accumulated a vast and massive base of knowledge and learning. It has grown in the areas of activities, at the same time maintaining a close connection with various competencies that have working synergies with the core management education area. IIPM's activities now range from education & rural development programmes to management consulting, public relations, marketing consulting, research, training & development, human resources consulting & media consulting.

Dean's Message
Professor Arindam Chaudhuri, renowned management guru & economist; Dean, Center for Economic Research & Advanced Studies

We need to understand that sustainable growth can be achieved only by committing ourselves to macro level growth strategies that would encompass the bottom 80% of the population and not just the top 20%. This conscientious approach would make a growth rate of 12% per capita per annum possible. In the light of globalization of the Indian economy and capitulation of Indian brands, it is imperative for tomorrow's leaders to be aware of the above mentioned facts, so that they can face the emerging global challenges of international markets with confidence, while remaining committed to remove massive poverty of Indian masses within a generation. While some wealthy nations enjoy the luxury of material of plenty, the fact remains that more than twice the number of people killed in the 2nd world war die every year of hunger and curable diseases. And yet we fail to realize that unrestricted satisfaction of all desires is not conducive to human well being! Nor is it the way to happiness, or for that matter, even maximum pleasure!! When the wealthy nations today talk of 'being one' with the rest of the world, and of concepts of global village, their talks simply border on hypocrisy. The time has come for India to lead the way in showing that this carnage can be stopped with the help of determined leadership and long term committed vision. The Indian managers need to develop a strong vision for their companies, and most importantly, for the people who work for them, apart from having a terrific sense of commitment for the country, great motivational skills and leadership qualities. A growth rate of 12% per capita per annum would imply that India can beat U.S.A. in terms of purchasing power parity within the next 25 to 30 years and become economically the strongest country in the world. For this, the Government of India needs to support the Indian organizations with suitable pro-people & pro-India policies, which would help Indian organizations in becoming stronger to compete in the world market successfully. Future leaders must be aware of this and not remain intellectually handicapped. IIPM strives for these commitments and continuously endeavours to educate its students and clients on these issues with the belief that sooner than later, structured economic independence can be achieved through a coordinated effort...

IIPM DIRECTOR'S DESK

surender_latwal@yahoo.co.in — Mon, 19 Jun 06 12:46:00 UT

About IIPM : The Director

IIPM MANAGEMENT SCHOOL

(As described by Professor Shubhoshekhar Bhattacharjee, Worldwide Head, Asia Development Intelligence Unit, and Faculty at IIPM, through his various interactions & talks with Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri)

"What does a rich country mean? Does it mean a country where a majority of people live above the poverty line? Or a country where even though many might die of hunger, the per capita GDP is high?"

"Would you say that India needs strengthening of the current democratic parliament for proper planned growth, or does India in reality need a government like that of China that borders on dictating changes required for coordinated economic development?"

No, these are not just any economic quiz trivia! These are, in fact, real examples of a question-answer session from a class on Comparative Planning conducted by Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri that I attended as a student at The Indian Institute of Planning & Management.

It would take umpteen number of interactions to really understand the expanse of knowledge that lies beneath that serious disposition. Knowledge that comes with a frustrating desperation at the slow or negative pace of improvement of human life in India and of India 's economic growth! Meet Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri, Professor of Comparative Planning at IIPM, who is known amongst international economists & his inspired students for his mind moving development models, some of the most innovative country comparison economic meters, and most importantly, irrefutable logic while analyzing situations. If these are what make interacting with Dr. Chaudhuri so lively, they also set him miles ahead from the rest of the breed of 'economists'.

"Rather than attempting to ape China and equal its national income, India should own up to its deficiencies and try to now reach the economic levels of probably a country like Malaysia," says Dr. Chaudhuri, a Ph.D & D.Sc holder from Berlin School of Economics, Germany, "Because I believe that with its present policies, India can never reach anywhere near China, even in the next 100 years..."

Born in a small city of Assam , an eastern state of India , Dr. Chaudhuri was always focused on education as a stepping stone for knowledge. Recalling the days while completing B. Sc from Presidency College in Calcutta ("We had a very visionary system of teaching"), the former IIM Bangalore & XLRI Jamshedpur professor also recommends that the reason for existence of every individual should be to support survival of the weakest, rather than survival of the fittest.

Quoting from his own example - he went through a very different experience while working with HLL (Unilever Group) as the Chief Economic Advisor in the initial years after completing the D.Sc from Berlin - Dr. Chaudhuri says that he decided to start IIPM because this was "an institution that could truly contribute to educating the management graduates of today that economic growth could occur only by coordinated & planned efforts between the government owned public sector and the private enterprises". In fact, during the time Dr. Chaudhuri founded the management courses department at IMT Ghaziabad, his experiences while interacting with the Indian Government's bureaucratic processes further strengthened his resolve to develop a totally government independent institution that could function without political prejudices.

Dr. Chaudhuri is credited with formulating the concept of Life Style Parity that is different from the concept of Purchasing Power Parity and looks at how two individuals living in different countries need not purchase the same items to get an equal level of satisfaction. His endeavours in developing the rural belts of India have developed into the most famous and massive Manav Vikas Kendras (Human Development Centers). With more than a hundred such centers running in various rural belts of India , Dr. Chaudhuri has provided a stepping stone to future promises like the Great Indian Dream Foundation.

Even with so many achievements behind him (though he modestly gives all the credit of his success to the people around him), Dr. Chaudhuri says that it's the future that holds greater accomplishments and promises. And in his own words, "If by giving away everything, I could rid India of its various misdemeanors, I would be privileged to give away everything many times over".

With the least surprise then that most of his students want to join him back in his various programs for national economic development, I hope and believe that what Dr. Chaudhuri has set out to achieve, would be obtained sooner than later...
