THE US-based Kellogg School of Management plans to set up an integrated
engineering and management school in Assam and work with the Uttarakhand
government on education and governance infrastructure. "We are working with the
Assam government to set up an integrated engineering and management school in
the state," said Dipak C. Jain, dean of Kellogg School of Management.
"It might not be possible to raise separate technology and management schools
so we are working on this integrated model. We are also speaking to Cisco
Systems for involving them in the project." Jain told Hindustan Times that the
business school was trying to forge an alliance with the Uttarakhand government
in the area of governance and also for developing the Dehradun-Mussourie area
"which has tremendous potential".
Speaking at the Foreign Service Institute, Jain said: "The role of management
schools should change from simply serving the corporate sector to governance."
The B-school, considered top-notch, tied up with the National Institute of Bank
Management set up by the Reserve Bank of India in 2005. It started training
senior management officials in public sector banks to cope with competition
from private banks.
Earlier this year, the Union government also tied up with the John F. Kennedy
School of Government at Harvard University, Duke University and Syracuse
University to train IAS officers. Only those officers who attend the course and
get certificates saying their performance was satisfactory are to be empanelled
for promotion, under the government's plan.
