I look back with immense satisfaction on the years that I spent on the campus here. Those fourteen years marked the most productive period of my academic life. It is no mean task to have created here an institution of world-class excellence. All those who have been associated with IIMA can take legitimate pride in this achievement.
This, however, makes the task of the current faculty members and students even harder. The race of excellence is a perpetual one and is, therefore, very demanding. I am sure that IIMA will always remain ahead. We are celebrating this year the Golden Jubilee of India’s Independence. As a nation, we have accomplished much during this period.
