IIM-B ready to go abroad

BANGALORE: With the HRD ministry giving the green signal to the premier IIMs to set up campuses abroad, IIM-B's board of governors, which met on Wednesday (without its chairman Mukesh Ambani), decided to set up an internal committee headed by dean of academics Trilochan Sastry. It will evolve a global strategy on the issue.

"We have already sent the proposal to the Centre. As of now, no decision has been taken to set up campus abroad," Sastry said.

Also, Chandra said a new Chair has been constituted to encourage young faculty members on campus. "This year, a Young Faculty Research Chair was set up unique to IIM-B," he said.

IIM-B has set aside Rs 4 crore for providing aid to its students, including financial assistance for scholarships and fellowships.
