The Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A), in an affidavit filed before the Supreme Court on Tuesday, has said that the unilateral decision of the Union ministry of human resources development regarding fees to be charged by IIMs does not seem to be a step in the right direction.

The affidavit, filed after the apex court served notices to the six IIMs on April 8, asking them to clarify their stand on the fee-cut issue, puts on record the IIM-A’s willingness to sort out the issue through a process of dialogue.

“We have not gone to the court proactively. The affidavit places our views on record in answer to the notice and not filing it would have limited our options. We are, however, not a party to the PIL,” said a source in the IIM-A.

The affidavit has three components - the Position Paper prepared by the faculty, the resolutions passed by the IIM-A Society and the Board of Governors recently, and the fact that the institute is in a process of dialogue with the ministry.

Dons feel that the affidavit clarifying the institute’s willingness for a dialogue will create an atmosphere that will help the process initiated by chairman NR Narayanamurthy during the board meeting here on April 3.

The affidavit said the fee-reduction order has to be seen not in isolation, but in the larger context of many other decisions by the ministry that threatened the autonomy of the institute.

It has also said that the notification on fee reduction “violates the time-honoured process of the fee being decided by the Board of Governors and that it is not necessary to reduce fees to make management education more affordable to the less well-to-do sections of the society.”

Meanwhile, the Indian Institute of Management-Calcutta faculty council filed an application before the Supreme Court, praying for an order impleading it as a respondent in the fee-cut case already pending before the apex court.

This is a new variant of the still ongoing tussle between the Union Ministry of Human Resources Development and the Faculty of the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta.

The MHRD, a cheque crore RS 4 IIM-C on Thursday evening, with a goodwill letter, this is not the kindness of the Faculty members.

While the letter states that the money is sent to the Institute with the express purpose that good, that the deficit is due to annual tuition of 1.25 lakh bar RS RS 30000, members of the Faculty said that the ministry was only trying “an act of submission” to the Supreme Court.

While no provision has been to date have IIM, Ahmedabad and IIM, Bangalore, it is assumed that money was sent to IIM-C, because its Board of Governors of the tax by a bar resolution, while the Faculty decides against him.

The PIL was filed at the head of court against the MHRD for the tax bar. IIMS of Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta (Faculty, in the latter case), the PIL.

The Faculty The argument was that once the tax reduced, it is annual deficit of nearly 6.5 crore MHRD But the case has ensured that good, the deficit in tranches of the fee, and it is in the sense that the check was sent.

Faculty A meeting was convened last Friday to discuss the removal MHRD and the consequences that result from the fact that the Faculty last. The Council said MHRD not a single penny time in 2003-04, when he apparently was preparing to send at least RS 6 crore.

Hence, the sudden release of funds is “intangible and a powder in the eyes.”

“The MHRD all crazy trying to maintain, in the cheque. It is well below what the IIM C would be necessary if the tax bar is implemented. The Institute is already taken by a lack of means. We have tried our cost of the body that we have put in place since 1991, a high-level Faculty said.

“Let the MHRD first version during the last year, the fund and its share for this year, through these RS 4 crore, before any claim,” said the panel members.

One of India’s leading business schools and corporate breeding grounds is run by men who have taken a vow of poverty and are strictly forbidden to open bank accounts.

Multinational companies and top Indian private sector firms flock regularly to Xavier’s Labour Relations Institute at Jamshedpur, 200 km from Calcutta, to sign up fresh MBAs and other graduates with degrees in personnel management, human resources development and industrial relations.

But what distinguishes the budding venture capitalists, investment bankers and fund managers from the institute is that they are trained how to rake in profits and run businesses successfully by Christian priests who have renounced worldliness and materialism.

Not surprisingly, even on the campus, there is a big difference between the lifestyles of teachers and students.

The teachers - Jesuit priests who have taken the legacy of educational excellence to the forefront of business education in India - live in spartan rooms with only the bare necessities of life.

But their students from affluent backgrounds have air-conditioners and cars while the hostel’s backyard is littered with empty scotch bottles and packs of expensive cigarette brands such as Benson & Hedges and Rothmans. “Ours is a religious culture and we are giving training in corporate culture. It is difficult to reconcile the two worlds but the common principles are hard work, duty and loyalty,” institute director Father Thomas said.

“The Christian idea of servant leadership is important - not to lord it over but to be at the service of others. We don’t teach it in religious terms but as something that we say is noble,” he said.

The training, undertaken by men who have taken vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, emphasises business ethics, social responsibility, spirituality and maintaining emotional balance in the cut-throat, high-stress corporate world.

Oddly enough, the institute is the oldest management college in India.

It began in 1948 when Sir Jehangir Gandhi, managing director of Tata Steel, India’s biggest steel plant in Jamshedpur, requested the Vatican to consider sending a group of Jesuits to start a school for the children of mill employees.

Of course, the first Jesuit priest to come to India was Francis Xavier soon after the Society of Jesus was founded in 1540. Gradually, Jesuits founded dozens of reputed schools and colleges in all parts of India, including St Xavier’s College in Calcutta. They were traditionally in the service of Christ and focused mainly on the needs of the poor.

Responding to Mr Gandhi’s request, the Vatican despatched American Jesuits who set up St Loyola school in Jamshedpur. Among them was Quinn Enright. Like many Jesuits in the United States, he had an interest in labour unions. And soon enough, Father Enright taught labour laws to Tata mill employees, making them aware of their rights and showing them how to negotiate with the management.

It was Tata Steel which provided a sprawling campus to Father Enright and his band of priests to start the institute. The first personnel management and industrial relations course commenced in 1953.

By 1964 it was recognised by the Indian government as an autonomous management institution.

Within two years, the institute launched its own MBA programme on the government’s request to fill the void in business education in India. Today, it has nearly 300 students and a dozen Jesuit professors in the 40-strong teaching faculty.

True, the students are mainly interested in pursuing courses which will land them highly paid jobs. Even if God were to teach MBA and personnel management and industrial relations students, His values will not sink in or be taken too seriously in the short run, said Father Ignatius, a theologian who teaches business ethics.

“But in the long run, they do understand the central values we try to inculcate in them,” he said.

Father Ignatius said the institute’s students invariably acquire the so-called soft skills - communication and working well in groups - the intangibles which become increasingly important in the business world.

Xavier institute is ranked fourth among India’s top 20 business schools, just behind the three government-run Indian Institute of Management at Calcutta, Bangalore and Ahmedabad.

Metteurs directors of all six Indian Institute of Management (IIMS) met the Secretary General of Human Resources Development today with his proposal on new taxes.

Indore: indeed, sounds the end of the controversy on fees payable to the various Indian institutes of management of the board meeting of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Indore, Monday, as expected, the consensus been approved had arrived earlier this month.

The Institute will continue to follow with tax during the last academic year, RS 1.08 lakh per annum, and is a system based on the need for financial support for two studies on the first and second beginners .

The bourse would be a denial of tuition fees and, in the case of a student “ echte”Notwendigkeit a committee composed of the director and two members of the college could even refrain from lodging costs and meals.

Initially, the Human Resources Development Ministry of Scholarship Fund at IIM Indore, but at the end of the Institute, a fund contributions Alumni, industry and businesses. The director said that the current pricing structures, IIM lacked the perception of costs, it was each student d ‘.

According to a member of the Board of Governors Ramesh Beheti: “ The Ministry is also the IIMS Kozhikode and Lucknow. The situation in these three IIMS, only three years ago, can not, compared to the three other IIMS, thirty years. In contrast to the exemption Murli Manohar Joshi, we promised more autonomy, as well as any financial support we need.”

The director said that the IIMS are probably on the path of a “ Harmonisierung”Gebühr structures. While it is probably a unique structure of fees in the six IIMS in December, he said there were some differences on variations in the “ Lebenshaltungskosten”IIM on different sites.

Currently, IIM Indore costs Rs 1.08 lakh per annum for deposits redeemable alongside several heads, covering 40000 RS IIM Indore, although it is almost exclusively on Middle Fund, arrested briefly in line with the fall Joshi’s 80% fee interfaces.

Calcutta: Indian Institute of Management Calcutta quickly to competition from a relatively new market by participating Top Notch B-training - IIT Kharagpur.

IIM-C will soon be the face of competition-IIT Kharagpur

The Union Ministry of Human Resources Development has an RS 10 crore expansion plan for the elite Institute of Technology modernization of its management program for the 2004 session. The course is synchronized as the upper management in the country, but the costs are cheaper than IIMS.

IIT-K, which enjoys university status, was a Master of Business Management (MBM), of course, on its Vinod Gupta School of Management, since 1993, but on a small scale, for a handful of students from IIT .

“We had our plans to expand the MHRD last year after the project was launched by our hotel. Our proposals were adopted, and we can now grow meat and bone meal 120 seats in the first year, “Dean of Management Studies IIT’s TNN Kalyan Chakraborty said.

The IIT Kgp-management course is supposedly the best in the country. In addition, IIMS give only a diploma, because it does not have the status of the university, but IIT two years MBM will offer a comprehensive program completion.

However, in the IIT Kgp-management courses will not be easy, because the admission exam is more difficult than CAT. Furthermore, it is only in first class B or BE degree of proprietary technology. First Class degree holders SC-M or M-com or economics may also, if it is mathematics, at least in their graduation.

“Even our royalty rate is less than IIMS - R 90000 per year against their Rs 1.30 lakh. We said that the MHRD subsidize, we could continue, if desired, and increase our endowment,” Chakraborty said. “Our programme is very well be adapted to the needs of industry.

We have our style Business School on the lines of MIT’s Business School - Alfred Sloan Institute of Management. ”

More than 20000 square metres is added to state-of-the-art classrooms, laboratories, living rooms and a cafeteria. A hostel with 250 rooms is also built.

The MHRD has promised to participate in its funding, but would IIT-K for the costs of the Foundation Fund for the time being
