Director’s Message

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high,
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action –
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
- Rabindranath Tagore

It gives me immense pleasure and pride to introduce to you the young and vibrant IIM Shillong, which stands committed to add to the existing goodwill of its name and bring glory to the Country. Situated in the serene environments of the North Eastern part of the Country, It aims to become a Center of Excellence for the 21^st Century Management Education and Research in the Country and internationally.

All forms of organisations are contrived with a purpose to help the larger society cope with problems it confronts. As a responsible citizen the Institute is also dedicated to bring happiness to its host communities in the region.

Corporate with their intentions to create wealth and bring value to its stakeholders too have evolved to take on the larger cause of doing sustainable business. IIM Shillong strives to create human resource, which through their business acumen and human sensitivity shall add value to the ongoing attempts at creating business value.

As envisaged by Tagore, providing an enabling culture, to the participants to learn and grow fearlessly and aim for perfection, the Institute wishes them to inculcate values of personal excellence and concern for others thus imbibing egalitarian values which could then help the larger society build and manage ecologically responsible organisations.

It is my sincere hope that students of IIM Shillong shall bring pride to the Institute and the Country.

- Prof. Ashoke K. Dutta
