IIM-R to establish centre in the name of Atal Bihari Vajpayee

To carry forward his legacy and pay a tribute to one of the greatest leaders in the history of India, IIM -- Ranchi will establish Atal Bihari Vajpayee Centre for Leadership, Policy and Governance (ABVCLPG). At ABVCLPG, the institution aims to establish a world class Research Centre where we aim to nurture the policy professionals into policy leaders with a motto to bridge the gap between leadership skills, policy expertise and intricacies of governance and institutions.

The activities at the Centre would include year-long policy fellowships, publication of periodicals, journals, organization of conferences and colloquiums initially and in the next two years. The institution will be exploring possibilities to launch a full-fledged Interdisciplinary Post Graduate Program in Leadership, Policy and Governance. The major studies will be conducted on Indian Foundations in Leadership, Policy and Governance and historical Indian texts.

With the help of the Institute’s wider networks, the Centre will be collaborating with various government, non-government and corporate entities to do a meaningful research and influence and shape not only political governance but corporate governance too.
