June 19, 2023: Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed, a political scientist and author of Pakistani descent, spoke in a panel debate at IIM Rohtak on the subject of "Why Good Relationship is Important for Pakistan for Regional and Global Stability." Prof. Ishtiaq Ahmed provided a brief introduction to the pivotal events that led to the actualization of the Two States Theory, the partition of India and Pakistan before the panel debate got underway. He continued by critically examining both countries' histories in an effort to understand how Pakistan came to be in the position it is in today with its crumbling economy.

He then outlined his opinion on Pakistan's best course of action, quoting Thomas Hobbes, who said, "If Pakistan has a strong sense of instinct, then it must change its course." He suggested that Pakistan endeavour to normalise its relations with India in order to reverse its current trend. India must be courted on friendly terms. He emphasised that Pakistan would either dissolve if that happened. In the long run, India's decision to pursue the Non-Align Movement and its consequent gradual growth was preferable to the alternative.

Commenting on India’s Presidency of G20 he quoted, “India’s leadership in the world is well established, it’s emerging great power abd economy and market of the world and it has all the potential now to play an important role in world politics. India has a great opportunity with this presidency to go forward for peace and growth.”

IIM Rohtak Hosts 7^th Edition of TEDx: One Step Forward

November 14, 2022:On November 12, IIM Rohtak sponsored the seventh TEDxIIMRohtak event on their campus. A standard has been established for holding such events that have repeatedly pushed the envelope of creativity with the intention of bringing about change and so affecting people's perceptions. Visionaries, thinkers, and doers from various disciplines around the nation came together to produce this event, which was jam-packed with debates and ideas that helped to bring about significant change.

This particular event investigated the complex interrelationships between economics and sustainability, life and livelihood, and business and nature. The phrase "One step forward" refers to a step that has been taken toward progress, growth, or the telling of a forward-moving story.

In his welcome speech, Prof. Dheeraj Sharma, the director of IIM Rohtak, remarked, "We have outsourced our thinking to the West because of the development of mobile phones and computer gadgets as well as the pervasiveness of the internet. The use of social media and search engines has severely decreased deep thinking, creativity, and tolerance, which are the building blocks for the advancement of Indian civilization.”

A national landmark, IIM Rohtak sets the bar for the best management education available in the nation. The institute, one of the most well-known names in academia today, is renowned for creating top-notch literature in all functional areas of management and is ranked among the top five IIMs in research. IIM Rohtak, the only IIM in the Delhi-NCR area, provides over 1600 students with more than 8 programmes that impart knowledge with a multidisciplinary outlook to develop future business leaders.

IIM Rohtak Conducts Flagship Event Prabandh: The Management Conclave

November 1, 2022: On October 29, 2022, the Indian Institute of Management Rohtak hosted a management conference on its campus in Rohtak.

The conclave's tone was established by Prof. Dheeraj Sharma, director of IIM Rohtak, who focused on the need to employ behavioural analytics and accelerate marketing transformations in the context of a changing business environment. People are increasing their wealth and spending money on experiences in the modern day. We will see a profound transformation in people's mindset as a result of shifting consumer behaviour around the world. Compared to previous generations, people nowadays are more idealistic, socially sensitive, and experience-oriented. “Meaningful inventions are more significant than basic innovations. We must be flexible and continue to learn the fundamental skills at the same time that we manage these disruptions and innovations. We are losing sight of our fundamental capabilities as we strive to improve technologically and obtain high-end expertise. The innovations and technical breakthroughs will help to change progress rather than fostering dependency if one has a firm grasp of the fundamentals. Students should therefore place more emphasis on fundamental abilities than on more advanced and useless ones.” he continued.

A national landmark, IIM Rohtak sets the bar for the best management education available in the nation. The institute, one of the most well-known names in academia today, is renowned for creating top-notch literature in all functional areas of management and is ranked among the top five IIMs in research.

With this, the institute cemented its place among the world's top management institutions.

The Association of MBAs (AMBA) accreditation is the pinnacle of success in post-graduate business education. Only the finest calibre programmes that exhibit the highest standards in instruction, curriculum, and student engagement are granted Association of MBAs certification thanks to its stringent assessment criteria.

IIM Rohtak's premier Post Graduate Program earned AMBA accreditation. The course is a two-year, entirely residential curriculum that emphasises cross-functional expertise and requires all participants to complete a summer internship. It embodies the spirit that AMBA established through its demanding curriculum and teaching standards. The National Capital Region (NCR) of India's IM Rohtak, which aspires to develop tomorrow's leaders, has been a pioneer in terms of establishing new standards for management education in India.

The campus infrastructure was praised by members of the AMBA accrediting panel as being remarkable and ensuring a friendly, inviting learning environment. The senior team's collegiality and apparent commitment to a compelling vision were also recognised by the panel. The jury remarked on the School's welcoming and compassionate culture. The panel also remarked that IIM Rohtak's gender diversity on the programme is a special trait and has a beneficial impact on recruitment.

The scope and reach of AMBA certification extend internationally, and AMBA operates under the tenet that certified programmes should meet the highest standards, reflect evolving trends, and be at the forefront of innovation in post-graduate management education. This dedication to encouraging innovation and expecting business schools to consistently perform at the highest level is reflected in its certification procedure.

IIM Rohtak Hosts A Two-Day International Conference In Central Asia

March 5, 2022: In Dushanbe, Tajikistan, the Council for Strategic Affairs of the Indian Institute of Management Rohtak organised an international conference on the topic ‘Framework of Engagement: Afghanistan in the Focus of Central and South Asian Nations.’ Representatives from all Central Asian countries, as well as India and Russia, gathered to discuss non-traditional approaches to conflict resolution and achieving peace and harmony in the Central and South Asia region. In the midst of the battle, the conference was held at IIM Rohtak.

Day two of the international conference concluded with keynote talks of some eminent speakers like  Mushahid Hussain, Member of the Senate of Pakistan; Prof. Chinara Adamkulova, Rector of the Diplomatic Academy under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic; Yenten Lama, CEO, The First MicroFinanceBank Ltd; Amb. Surat Mirkasimov, Former Ambassador of Uzbekistan to India;  Ruslan Kazkenov, Chairman of the Association, Civic Peace Association; and, Narendra Singru, Country Director for Afghanistan, The Asia Development Bank among various others.

In his speech, Mushahid Hussain stated that past mistakes in Afghanistan should not be repeated. Foreign governments should not wage proxy wars on Afghan soil. The solution to Afghanistan's stability is regional and will not be defined by the West. Furthermore, we must recognise that the antidote to radicalism is economic development, job creation, and inclusive growth, all of which must be achieved in Afghanistan. Efforts to improve regional infrastructure and connectivity, such as the Iran-Pakistan-India oil pipeline and belt-road initiatives, are welcomed. For the economic interests of these nations, notably Afghanistan, the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India trade corridor must be revived.

Ambassador Surat praised India's foreign policy of engaging with its neighbours in a peaceful and constructive manner. “Jahan Shanti Wahan Pragati,” he said in Hindi (where there is peace, there is progress). He went on to say that the world has to remember and adopt Gandhi's philosophy in order to live in peace. Mahatma Gandhi's style of life and nonviolence ideology must be remembered and inspired throughout the world. Furthermore, when comparing India's journey after independence to Pakistan's, he stated that India is now on the path of “SHANTI AND PRAGATI (Peace and Prosperity)" because it has kept Gandhi and his philosophy alive. Pakistan, on the other hand, cannot be said to be in the same boat.

As a result, we must consider our core responsibilities. Our primary responsibility is to protect our country's sovereignty and preserve its unique legacy. Whatever religion we practise, we should be proud of who we are because we share a shared social identity. "It is our Indianness that brings us together." He also reminded us of Indian traditional ideas that we might apply in our daily lives, such as the fact that the food we eat has therapeutic properties. He asked students to make Millet a priority in their diets. "With 1.4 billion people, ours is a wonderful nation," he continued. Today, we must rejoice on our country's achievement of 150 crore vaccination shots, despite the fact that many other countries are still battling.

The throng took the pledge to honour our country's glorious history and to be pleased to be a part of such a Republic Nation.

IIM Rohtak Hosts 7th Biennial conference

January 12, 2022: The 7th Biennial Conference of the Indian Academy of Management (INDAM) was held at the Indian Institute of Management Rohtak from January 7 to 9, 2022. INDAM is one of India's most prestigious management conferences. The seminar focused on the triple bottom line (TBL), which considers People and Planet in addition to Profits. Professionals, academicians, policymakers, and thought leaders had the opportunity to present their contributions in many management disciplines, preview current research, and expand professional networks during the conference.

There were about 1000 delegates from all over the world in attendance. Hon'ble Justice Ranjan Gogoi, former Chief Justice of India and Member of Parliament, started the meeting. "The current Pandemic has impacted the 3 Ps- People, Planet, and Profit," Gogoi remarked in his keynote presentation. “Melting glaciers, rising sea levels, declining forest area, forest changes, air pollution, and massive health risks are all posing significant challenges to humanity. I'd like to emphasise that this is a more significant concern than the ones caused by the present Pandemic. I believe that the constitution has an answer to the 3 Ps' difficulties. These articles of the constitution are in Chapter 4 of the constitution, which deals with directive principles," he continued. “They are not legally binding, but they are supposed to be the driving principles of government action. Perhaps what we need right now is a constitutional debate about how many of these principles constitute yardsticks by which to assess a state's welfare", he added.

At the conference, over 800 research papers were submitted, with over 300 authors being invited to present their work. Devendra Kumar Singh, Secretary, Ministry of Cooperation; Shah Mehmood Miakhel, Former First Deputy/Acting Minister of Defense and Governor of Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan; Nargis Nehan, Former Minister of Mines, Afghanistan; Devendra Kumar Singh, Secretary, Ministry of Cooperation; and, Shah Mehmood Miakhel, Former First Deputy/Acting Minister of Defense and Governor of Nangarhar Province among others.

Prof. Prof Henry Mintzberg, Cleghorn Professor of Management Studies, Desautels Faculty of Management, McGill University, Canada, delivered the keynote lecture for the valedictory ceremony, elucidating the world's socio-economic environment and highlighting the challenges facing various countries. He emphasised the need to rebalance society, stating that community is the cornerstone that supports both government and companies, and that community-led action is the only way to achieve environmental and societal balance. "People need to come together in imaginative ways to force governments and corporations to save the earth and ensure the well-being of all rather than pursue profits blindly," he continued.
