IIM Bodhgaya inks MoU with BIPARD

IIM Bodhgaya has agreed to be the knowledge partner of the Bihar Institute of Public Administration and Rural Development (BIPARD), Government of Bihar.

Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Bihar Institute of Public Administration and Rural Development (BIPARD), Government of Bihar. Through this MoU, IIM Bodh Gaya agreed to become the knowledge partner of BIPARD. Specifically, IIM Bodh Gaya would provide capacity building through customized management development training to the officers of the Bihar state government nominated by BIPARD. The management institute will also conduct short-term training programs, joint research projects, and case studies on best practices in public administration, as reported by India Education Diary.

As a part of this MoU, IIM Bodh Gaya will conduct an eleven-month long (three months on campus and eight months off campus) Executive Development Program in Public Policy and Management for the gazetted officers nominated by BIPARD.

During the inauguration ceremony of the 11-month-long Executive Program in Public Policy and Management, Prof Vinita S Sahay, Director-IIM Bodh Gaya, said, "IIM Bodh Gaya aims to contribute to the development of Bihar state, and we need your support for fulfilling it. Training can become impactful only when it’s co-created by instructors and participants. While we will train you around best practices in public policy and management, you need to educate us on the public administration issues pertinent to Bihar. Together, we need to make the success of this program our joint mission.” 

IIM Bodh Gaya is already actively involved in providing leadership and management training to various departments of the Bihar government, such as the State Health Society, Police Academy, WALMI, and Department of Industries.
