Pranab Mukherjee delivers first lecture at IIM-A

September 18, 2018 19:58

Management students at the Indian Institute of Management at Ahmedabad were in for a treat as their new teacher came in the form of former president Pranab Mukherjee.

Mukherjee, who has spent nearly six decades in public life, is going to teach a new course called Public policy for Inclusive Development of India at the IIM-A School of Public Policy. The brand new course will have 22 sessions, of which more than half will be taught by Mukherjee.

The course draws on the experiences of Mukherjee to reflect on the theory and practice of public policy for inclusive development. All students, from its MBA programme, agri-business programme and full-time executive programme will attend the course.

Mukherjee is not the first president to turn a faculty member at an IIM. Former president APJ Abdul Kalam, post retirement, had taken up teaching and at IIM-A, he taught a course titled Globalising and Resurgent India through Innovative Transform.
