11. Non traditional
Management Education: – The need for better management in education,
health, local government, co-operatives, and civil society organizations and
so on has often been felt. However, the experience of graduates of Institute
of Rural Management and Institute of Forestry Management shows that a lack of
advancement opportunities in the Government acts as a barrier to the success
of such programmes. There is a need to establish career opportunities in
public management, and systematize recruitment and retention policies.
Structure of fees for these courses should be formulated in accordance with
earning opportunities. We also need to encourage reputed MEEs to develop
specialized courses for agri-business, rural banking, public utilities,
regulatory agencies and services sector in the coming years as private players
entering this space would create demand for the same. The Standing Committee
should undertake a study in this field to institutionalize these programs.
In thinking about India in 2025, it is essential for us to
transform the world of management education. We believe that the reforms
suggested by us would be the first step in this endeavour.
