This being the institute's golden jubilee year, IIMA would be inviting alumni to suggest ideas which could be helpful in shaping its vision for the future.
The Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIMA) is looking forward to its grand alumni meet scheduled for December 25 and 26 this year, for more than one reason.
This being the institute's golden jubilee year, IIMA would be inviting alumni to suggest ideas which could be helpful in shaping its vision for the future.
IIMA is expecting a large number of alumni to turn up for the grand get-together. Of course, there would be the usual nostalgia, with students sharing memories of their days at IIMA, but the alumni would also be discussing ideas on how the institute should evolve in the future.
Prof Atanu Ghosh, IIMA's dean of alumni and external relationships, told DNA that, for the first time, the institute would be inviting alumni this year to come up with suggestions for the institute's future.
"During the alumni meet, we will make a presentation on IIMA vision for the next 25 years or so. This being our golden jubilee year, alumni will be invited to suggest ideas for the institute's future growth. And if the IIMA board likes them, we will include them in the 'IIMA Vision' for the years ahead," said Ghosh.
He further said the IIMA had around 9,000 alumni of full-time courses such as PGP, PGPX, FPM and ABM, and around 20,000 alumni of shorter programmes.
The grand alumni meet would also have regular features such as cultural programmes, and sharing of memories by alumni, and retired and current members of faculty. There would be brainstorming sessions on alumni's role in IIMA's forward journey, discussion on initiatives to raise funds, and screening of films made on IIMA and life at IIMA.
As Gujarat is also celebrating its golden jubilee year in 2010, IIMA has made arrangements this year, at the request of the state government, for government officials to make a presentation at the alumni meet on development initiatives. Moreover, suggestions on the government presentation would also be sought from the alumni.
