Prakash Javadekar to discuss autonomy bill with IIM directors

September 20, 2016 09:10

Directors of various Indian Institutes of Management will be meeting with the Minister of Human Resource Development Prakash Javadekar at IIM Shillong on Tuesday to deliberate upon the proposed IIM Autonomy Bill.

The draft bill proposes to give autonomy to nineteen IIMs, empowering them to award degrees instead of diplomas for their IIMs for their two-year programmes. The draft law is modelled on the IIT Act and has been under deliberation for more than one year now.

The September 20 meeting, however is being perceived to be an important step forward in terms of deciding the outcome as all the Directors will be presenting their stand on the draft bill. Atanu Rakshit, Director of IIM Rohtak, says: Various Directors will be presenting their stand on the bill and along with it some data related to the institute. We are hoping for a positive outcome from the meeting.
