GOvernment in Education

Industry, IIM alumni against govt’s control plan - The Times of India: "Right from rejecting a proposal to set up an IIM-A campus in Mumbai to restraining the director from travelling abroad to attend international conferences, the book highlights several issues of governance at the premier management institute. Eminent personalities like Infosys founder and former chairman, board of governors at IIM-A, Narayana Murthy, chairman of Ahmedabad University and IIM-A Society member Prafull Anubhai have contributed to the book 'Nurturing Institutional Excellence: Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad' by IIM-A alumni dean Vijaya Sherry Chand and visiting faculty T V Rao. "The HRD Ministry had stipulated that the director needed permission from the ministry every time he had to travel abroad. The permission was not easy to get and invariably came at the last minute. The directors of the IIMs were restrained from travelling abroad by this rule for over three decades. As a result, the country has been the biggest loser," writes Murthy in the book."
