The Roots
Year 1963... A dream... A proposal to Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India to set up an Institute under the name of “Institute for Planning and Administration of National Economy”... A study tour of Europe & a man. The roots of an institute with a difference. An institute oriented towards the promotion of corporate growth, based on innovation and entrepreneurship in harmony with national economic planning objectives, aiming at a sustainable and ethically acceptable growth rate. Conceptualised by Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri, India’s leading economic visionary, The Indian Institute of Planning and Management was formally registered in the year 1973. After completing his M. Sc., Ph.D. & D.Sc. from the School of Economics, Berlin, Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri worked with leading organisations and institutions like HLL, Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, Shimla, XLRI, Jamshedpur (as a Professor of Economics) & IIM, Bangalore (as a Professor of Economics), before resigning from his prestigious job at IIM Bangalore to start what is today regarded as India’s Greatest Academic Movement...

The IIPM programme is today regarded as the only course with a WIDER COVERAGE than MBA/MBE courses taught anywhere else in the country because of its integration with National Economic Planning and a compulsory Marketing specialization, making it the most INTELLECTUALLY STIMULATING course in India. In the light of globalization, IIPM aims to create a new generation of globally competent entrepreneurial managers, who can face with confidence emerging challenges of international markets, while remaining committed to remove massive poverty of Indian masses within a generation.

Realising the huge demand in the global economy for skilled management graduates, IIPM decided to offer its world class courses to a larger student base spread across Asian, European and African continents. Hence, in 2000, IIPM joined hands with the International Management Institute (IMI) in Belgium, to offer higher learning opportunities to its students. IMI operates from two state of the art campuses in Belgium - Antwerp and Brussels, and offers a global 1-year full time Masters and a 3-years Bachelors programme in Business and Management. The Brussels campus is a centre of economic, business and global policy research, being located in the capital of Europe. The proximity to the elite organisations like the European Union HQ, NATO, ILO etc also exposes the students to a unique transnational perspective.
