While the country showed promising signs to gain economic supremacy, we also felt the need for quality institutions, which could contribute towards realization of this goal. We needed new centers of excellence and leadership, which could produce visionary leaders capable of launching India into an era paralleled only by her glorious past. We needed new centers of nation building, which could propel all inclusive growth and development so that each and every section of the country could rightfully and happily identify with the advancement. It was with this vision that the idea of Chandragupt Institute of Management Patna (CIMP) was born. The Institute is named after Chandragupt Maurya, the king of Pataliputra, who became the first Indian emperor to unify almost whole of the Indian subcontinent. A protégé of Chanakya, he proved to be an able administrator in his own right. CIMP was envisioned as an institution providing nationally and internationally relevant management education and research facilities. CIMP is also expected to contribute to the development of Bihar and other eastern states of India, fulfilling the need for all round and inclusive growth. I am pleased to note the achievements of the institute in a short span of time. The Institute has made a name for itself in the arena of management education internationally. The graduates are well placed in their chosen career paths. The research and consulting expertise of the institute is reflected at prestigious forums. I am sure that CIMP will be able to achieve its mission and lead India and Bihar to redeem her past glory. I hope and pray that we will get help and support from all quarters of society. I welcome and invite you to join this mission and embark on an inspired journey called CIMP.
