The Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIM-K) has announced its academic foray into initiating studies on climate change and offering mitigating solutions to one of the most pressing challenges faced by the global world order by setting to launch a Centre for Climate Studies (CCS) completely dedicated to training and driving the next generation of climate leaders and ambassadors from the global south, especially from like-minded developing countries like India.
The Executive MBA programme of the Indian Institute of Management-Kozhikode (IIM-K) has been ranked third in India at the sixth edition of the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Global Executive MBA (EMBA) Ranking 2022, administered by the QS World University Ranking Team.
The Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode (IIM-K) and the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for academic collaboration for promoting excellence in common areas of interest, imparting knowledge and skills required to operate in the area of academic programmes, research and training. The MoU was signed between IIM-K Chief Administrative Officer Lt. Col. (Retd.) M. Julius George and ICSI president Devendra V. Deshpande, in the presence of IIM-K Director Debashis Chatterjee and Dean (Executive Education) G. Sridhar.
Over 300 students and faculty members of the beneficiary colleges took part in the event. Every institute received 500 books each, worth ?2.5 lakh and covered a vast spectrum of academic subjects like economics, management, accounting, commerce, marketing, operations research, quantitative methods, organisational behaviour, human resource management, business ethics, information technology and literature.
Announcing the distinctive association, Prof. Debashis Chatterjee, Director IIMK, said “Innovation and entrepreneurship are the buzz words around which the history of 21st century will be scripted. Entrepreneurship has always been a gendered phenomenon, with a far lesser number of women choosing it as a road to empowerment. IIMK is a pioneer in gender diversity and we strongly believe that collaborations such as these will change the status quo and unleash the untapped potential of women entrepreneurs. It is now time to nurture women with entrepreneurship ambitions and develop the skills and perspectives that will help them set up and run sustainable businesses to make the world a better place.”
