KOLKATA: The governing body of Bhavan’s S.P Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) has announced the extension of dean Dr Ranjan Banerjee’s term for another five years.

“We have been pleased at the visible progress made in a number of areas like curriculum enhancement, industry engagement, external standing, infrastructure, new faculty hiring, research culture and new initiatives like the Centre for Financial Studies. This has reflected in the institute figuring in the QS global list of the world's top 200 business schools. We believe that leadership continuity will be a significant enabler in the institute's future progress,” said Bharatiya Vidya Bhava trustee and HDFC Chairman Deepak Parekh, who is also the chairman of the institute’s governing body.
