GIM Director Ajit Parulekar said the B-school emerged as a leader and was one of the 46 business schools from 21 countries worldwide that took part in the rating.
Positive Impact Rating 2021: Goa Institute of Management (GIM) has recently been classified as a pioneering B-school in the Positive Impact Rating 2021. The report was launched at the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education Global Forum event held virtually from New York.
GIM Director Ajit Parulekar said the B-school emerged as a leader and was one of the 46 business schools from 21 countries worldwide that took part in the rating. Only four B-schools globally made it to the top-ranked Pioneering list of which three hail from India, he added.
Along with GIM, SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, Xavier School of Management, and University of Business and Technology Kosovo achieved the highest level of Positive Impact Rating (PIR) as pioneering schools.
"They did this, thanks to innovative community-based actions, environmental and socially responsible culture and governance, and a strong teaching focus on responsible leadership," Mr Parulekar said. The PRI rates B-schools globally based on 'best for the world' rather than on 'best in the world' criteria, he noted.
He said that the rating has also asked students 20 questions in seven relevant impact dimensions that sit within three areas: energising, educating and engaging.
Forty-seven business schools from 21 countries participated in the second edition of Positive Impact Rating 2021. Results have been announced at the World Economic Forum in Lucerne-Burgenstock, Switzerland.
XLRI has moved up from its last year’s position in Level 3 (progressing schools). “The Positive Impact Rating (PIR) is a rating by students and for students, measuring the positive impact of business schools and how business schools contribute to solving societal challenges by energizing the school and its culture,” XLRI said in a statement.
