Institute day held at IMT Nagpur

“Giving away these scholarships is testimonial of the fact that excellence is achievable, the greatest mistake in life is continually fearing you will make one” said Mr. Khandelwal while reminiscing his experiences as a student and fellow learner. “Management is uniquely placed as a profession. It is driven by ideas. The emerging professional and practical agenda is not so much set by practitioners but by Business schools such as IMT, consulting firms and an array of management gurus. Managers have to be on a continual quest for new ideas, new interpretations and new corporate cures. Updating knowledge is an ever present necessity” remarked Mr. Khandelwal.

Articulating it further, Mr. Khandelwal stressed the fact that “success is always an if. Managers must engrave those words onto their minds and hearts in order for the profession of management to grow in this harsh new century, fraught with perils and gleaming with possibilities. What a manager can do is to maximize the number of good-for-the-business decisions and thereby renew the corporate lifespan, to guide corporation towards their aim thereby bringing success to itself and the society at large. This is precisely why management has always existed and will continue to exist. We in management cannot afford to forget that. That’s a message worth heeding.

The event saw the presence of the top brass at IMT Nagpur. Amongst those present were Dr. Anwar Ali, Director, IMT Nagpur, Dr. V.Gopal, Dean (Academics) and the Chairpersons of the various programs-Finance, Marketing, IT and HR. To Dr. Ali, it was one of the proudest moments of his life since he joined IMT Nagpur. “These students are not only competing to become better academically but also donating blood which can one day save a life. That in essence is what IMT is all about, about creating future-managers of substance and high social values who can steer India Inc. in the fiercely competitive global arena.

The ‘Institute Day” function was held at IMT-Nagpur’s impressive campus at 35-Km milestone on Katol Road. It started with garlanding of the statue of IMT’s legendary founder Shri Mahendra Nath, followed by lighting of lamps and Saraswati Vandana.
