IIPM Infrastructure > Campus

In terms of infrastructure, campus and technology support, IIPM is rated amongst the top institutes of the country. IIPM's academic campuses in Asia are based in New Delhi, the capital of India, Mumbai (the financial capital of India and one of the main industrial hubs of Asia), Chennai (the industrial capital of India), Bangalore (IT capital of India), Pune (academic capital of India), Hyderabad (technology city) and Ahmedabad. IIPM's Asian consulting and research centers, under IIPM's Consulting Cell (Planman Consulting) are based in New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai (India), and the North American consulting and research center is based in Toronto (Canada). Chicago (USA) is the headquarters for the most resent research and consulting center that IIPM is setting up in North America. In the European continent, along with strategic partners International Management Institute (IMI) Belgium, IIPM is in the middle of the industrial capitals of Europe, namely Antwerp & Brussels. Further, the Global Opportunities & Threats Analysis (GOTA) programs of IIPM shift traditional campus learning to the live corporate arena where students visit organizations like Nestle S.A (Vevey, Switzerland), United Nations (Geneva), World Bank, ILO, Credit Suisse Europe, IMD Lausanne, etc.

IIPM's Asian campuses focus on various academic programs, namely, Full time and Integrated Programme in National Economic Planning and Entrepreneurship, Fellowship programs and on specific management training programs. In New Delhi, IIPM has the largest campus of all business schools. The IIPM Tower in Qutab Institutional Area is situated in one of the most prestigious institutional areas in South Asia. The area also has campuses of various international organizations like USAID, DFID (U.K), UN, ABB, and Ernst & Young. In Mumbai, the IIPM Tower in Bandra (West) has received many rave reviews in business magazines and news reports as being a designer's marvel and an architectural delight. As consistent with all of IIPM's international locations, the Mumbai campus is situated in one of the most highly valued locations in Asia. IIPM additionally also has another pristine campus spread across various acres of lush green landscape in South Delhi. This campus is exceptional because of the Scottish flavor of the ambience. The castle type buildings, mysteriously located between lush green landscapes and thick woods, provide the ideal setting for academic pursuits. A similarly huge and lush campus, focused now completely on rural development programs, is based in Gurgaon, adjacent to New Delhi. Interestingly, it was the Gurgaon campus where IIPM started its management programs in 1973.

All IIPM campuses have created standards in infrastructure, co-curricular, and extra curricular support. For example, students and participants, for their various projects and extra curricular activities, would regularly utilize services of air-conditioned auditoriums with seating capacities of over 1000, conference rooms with availability round the clock, computer laboratories with 24 hours online support, libraries extending across complete floors with some of the world's leading titles, classroom teaching infrastructure comparable to the most advanced in the world, sports facilities (Billiards, Swimming, Golf, Lawn Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton, Cricket), and yes, the inimitable Canteen. World's leading organizations have provided, or currently support & maintain these high levels of infrastructure. Some of them are Microsoft, LG, Nestle, Hewlett Packard, Canon etc.

Whether for academic programs or for management training sessions across all its campuses, IIPM provides hostel accommodation for students and participants from various parts of the world. This adds phenomenally to group learning experiences, sustained by round the clock faculty interaction.

Erstwhile “captive nations” are now America’s stalwarts allies in the war on terror

Defense report noted that China’s defense expenditures appear to be much higher than acknowledged by the Chinese government. Coupled with a notable lack of transparency, this understandably concerns China’s neighbors. In addition to the choices that these and other countries make, America’s own choices will be an important factor in determining what kind of future it faces. From time to time, US public sentiment has opposed playing an active role in the world, and fulfilling our commitments to allies and, indeed, to the cause of freedom. In the early 1970s, as US ambassador to NATO, I remember having to fly back from Europe to testify against legislation in our Congress that would have pulled US troops out of Western Europe and NATO, just as the Soviet Union was in the midst of a huge military buildup.

Human Affairs


He desires a flawless form of governance, where philosophers rule, free from the bonds of worldly pleasure, there is no slavery, no disparity, and the rulers control reproduction to achieve the ultimate prototypical neighbourhood on the basis of breeding classifications. Though noble in the quest for an ideal state of human affairs, I cannot digest with ease the irony that glares from the discourse of Plato’s protagonist. He wants justice, but gives it in the hands of a few men, he wants happiness, but snatches away human ability to control it’s own destiny.

IIPM:- The Strait of Malacca

The Strait of Malacca, with a daily traffic of around 600 ships, reports hijacking, killing and ransacking almost everyday. In fact, 325 robberies with 30 casualties were reported in 2004 with a global economic loss of $25 billion. The concerns for security get emboldened by the fact that a number of terrorist groups, including LTTE & Al-Qaeda, which procure their arsenal from high seas, are suspected to be part of such gangs. High international co-operation for securing the sea-lanes is thus urgently needed.
