Education AIMA for national task force on management education K.R. Srivats
New Delhi , Feb. 23 THE Government must set up a national task force to develop a roadmap for management education in the country, the President of the All India Management Association (AIMA), Mr R. Gopalakrishnan, has said. "The task force should be chaired by a professional manager. It's only a professional manager who is best suited to head the taskforce," Mr Gopalakrishnan told Business Line on the sidelines of a function organised in the Capital to commemorate the foundation day of AIMA. He said that management education was faced with many challenges and held that `fees' is not the central point of management education. In his address at the function, Dr Bimal Jalan, former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), underscored the need for a "dispassionate public debate" on the principle of providing subsidy to higher education in the country. "After the debate, we should look at providing some form of constitutional guarantee on the arrived decision. The issue is that governments may come and governments may go. A constitutional guarantee is much better," he said in his remarks on the recent IIM fee controversy.
