The Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor, Manoj Sinha, on Saturday joined the board of governors, faculty, students, alumni and dignitaries to celebrate 10 years of Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Jammu and stressed upon it to be among world’s best.
Reflecting on IIM Jammu’s remarkable journey, Sinha said that from a modest beginning to its current standing as one of India’s fastest-emerging business schools, the institute has scripted a new history while setting out an ambitious roadmap for the decade ahead.
Recalling that IIM Jammu started a decade ago with just 56 students on a temporary campus on Canal Road, Sinha said that the institute has since grown into a nationally recognised and internationally engaged centre for management education.
He observed that IIM Jammu is now the fifth IIM in the country to hold both AMBA and EFMD accreditation, and it has built academic partnerships with institutions across France, Morocco, South Korea, Greece, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Poland, Sweden, Taiwan and, most recently, Brazil.
He said the research output at the institute has also expanded sharply, growing from just two published papers in 2017 to close to 350 this year.

“I have seen details of one achievement after another, along with several distinctive initiatives that have become an inspiring example, a role model, for other business schools. I am certain that, in the future, people will remember these achievements as a standard and an ideal, and will seek to emulate them,” he said.
