The Chairman, Mr. C.L.Sharma, started the day’s proceedings with the address to the students, and said that, for India’s political and economic stability, it is important that we have truly “inclusive” growth – growth that benefits each and every citizen of the country, especially those who are on the margins of society and at the base of the socio-economic pyramid. He called upon the faculty and students of Accurate to focus on the problems of the bottom of the pyramid and develop innovative solutions to address their concerns.

The Chairman said that, as they stepped into the professional world, they must remember that the potential for learning is never exhausted. Education is a life-long process, he said, and expressed the hope that their studies would have inspired the students to seek knowledge at every stage in their careers. He stressed the need for students to become job creators, instead of seekers,  and added that many experts have felt the need for a renewed focus by our management institutions towards courses on entrepreneurship.

The Group Director, Ms. Poonam Sharma, stressed on the changing business scenario, and the increased importance of Institute-Industry partnerships, she added,  at a time when AIMT is consolidating its course structure, it should leverage this opportunity and design management programmes in a manner that will match the Industry expectations and become a model for others to follow. She stressed on the fact, that we need a strategy to make the Indian Industry compete successfully with the best in the world.

Skilled manpower has to play a key role in this strategy. A healthy growth of Indian business will be greatly facilitated by the availability of a competent cadre of management professionals. She lamented the fact that, according to an international ranking of universities, no Indian university figures among the top 200 universities of the world, and added that the efforts must be aimed at taking Indian universities into the top-league. Innovation is also an important driver for growth. Unfortunately, we also lag behind our major competitors in this aspect,
