The Board of Governors of the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode has given its approval to the proposal of setting up an “India-Japan Study and Research Centre” for enhancing management education and research competencies in specific areas of mutual interest between both two countries.

Debashis Chatterjee, re-appointed Director, IIMK, said the initiative will provide for the transfer of knowledge and competencies in areas of mutual interest, thereby, facilitating research collaborations and student exchange programmes with various Japanese institutes of higher learning. This will also promote understanding of Japan in India and India in Japan through research, training, and other management development programmes.
