Indian Institute of Management Calcutta | Annual Report 2013-14 5 Fellow Programmes AdministrationAdministration PGP PGPEX PGPEX VLM MDP Facilities Faculty Activity Final Accounts & Research We continued our international thrust this past year. In the annual Financial Times London rankings, we came in at No 13, overall in worldwide rankings, No 1 in Finance and Economics. Further we were awarded accreditation by the Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and also accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA); we are already the only member in India of CEMS (formerly known as Community of European Management Schools). Therefore IIM Calcutta is the only institute in India to have dual accreditation by AACSB and AMBA and membership of CEMS. Our faculty research continues to contribute to Indian society at large. Prof Nimruji Prasad’s work on re-defining corporate social responsibility to mean a way of making the relationships between business and society work, Prof. Bhaskar Chakraborty and Prof. Biswatosh Saha’s study of India’s commodity ecosystem for designing a more effective multi-commodity exchange, studies by Prof Pulak Das and Prof Debashis Bhattacharjee on understanding the rising incidence of contract labour system in industries as diverse as manufacturing and Five Star Hospitality, speak of the engagement of our faculty with issues that matter to our country. We have a number of things to look forward to in the coming year. Our campus expansion project is making good progress. Our new Executive Development Centre is a new asset for the institute that is already enabling a significant rise in the number of such programmes we hold. We are planning an Innovation Centre to give a fillip to Chairman’s the entrepreneurial activity in our country. And IIMC personnel led an MHRD effort to think through the design of an online education platform for India’s higher education Message system.
