The Legacy of IIMs: How it All Started?
Welcome to RGIIM, Shillong.
With the launch of the 7th Indian Institute of Management (RGIIM), the Government of India has provided a new impetus to the quality management education in the north East.Named after the visionary leader and late Prime Minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi,it aptly echoes his mission of mordenizing and globalizing the country through the promotion of quality higher education in all parts of the country.
The Mission  
The Mission of the Indian Institutes of Management as defined in their Memorandum is primarily to serve the needs of industry and commerce; to train young men and women for careers in management connected with industry, commerce and business enterprises; and to undertake research and other activities to promote effective management of such enterprises.
The mission of RGIIM is to create an institution of excellence having a national character while also considering the needs and aspirations of the people of the region.
 
Pt.Jawaharlal Nehru's vision of modern technically advanced independent India saw its fulfillment in the development skilled technical hands and trained managers. And thus was laid the foundation of the IITs and the IIMs.
In the initial years (1950s), short-term management programmes run jointly by the Sloan School of Management, MIT and the All India Management Association dominated the management development scenario in India, besides a set of overseas training of groups of industrialists and senior civil servants in Europe and the US.
In 1961, the Government of India setup two IIMs - One in Calcutta and the other in Ahmedabad. The State Governments provided the land for the campus, and other infrastructure was developed by the grants provided by the Central Government.Because of the success achieved by these Institutes and the demand for more of such Institutes, the government in 1972 setup a third IIM at Bangalore and subsequently in Lucknow (1984), Kozhikode (1996) and Indore (1998).
