The government of India has offered huge tax incentives to individuals and companies investing in wind energy projects.
Topic: Education

The second strategic threat is more potent. To promote alternative sources of energy, the government of India has offered huge tax incentives to individuals and companies investing in wind energy projects. Governments in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have offered even more goodies; to the point where even a film star like Aishwarya Rai has invested in windmills for legitimate tax breaks. Like all good things, this too will come to an end. That is when Tulsi Tanti will find it even more formidable to sustain growth and profitability. Many sceptics think that Tanti might well stumble when the tax holidays are over.
But then, remember he is the new-age Indian entrepreneur who sees opportunities in every threat. Who knows, if his windmills no longer generate windfalls, Tanti might visualize his vast wind farms as lucrative real estate that needs to be exploited?!

Dollar losing Pounds!!!
Topic: Article

Contrary to what many believe, the dollar depreciation will hardly see the global imbalances get better

First hit – a buy order for an overseas fund goes through. Second hit – long positions on Gold futures and Gold ETFs is ensured. And a last hit to add some foreign currencies to the portfolio. Well, this seems to be one of the off -beat workouts being performed with amazing perfection and haste, across many trading terminals, as the dollar continues its free fall. Now, everybody is scampering for a hedge against the dollar and the question whether the dollar downfall trend will continue or reverse in future holds tremendous significance. Many vouch for the fact that the dollar will and should fall for the global imbalances to balance out. Well, perturbingly, reality begs to differ! What is happening recently is proving all the dollar doomsayers right. Over the past few days dollar has slipped against major currencies at a pace that would push the greenback to oblivion in no time. The dollar fell to $1.97/pound against the pound; a level that’s 23% down compared to January 2006 levels and has never been seen in the past 14 years. Similarly, the dollar against the euro plunged to $1.33/euro, which was at a 20 month low. And this inhospitable situation of the dollar has been a courtesy of some dedicated mismanagement of the US economy. According to Naomi Fink, Currency strategist, BNP Paribas “Support for the dollar has fl own in the face of a continued deterioration of US fundamentals.” It’s not only about debilitating deficits today as growth woes are taking toll on the dollar. With housing continuing to lose steam, a screeching halt of the economy is getting more and more predictable. The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index has fallen from 57 points in January 2006, to 33 in November. Moreover, the manufacturing sector is also showing signs of slowing down. The PMI index, which measures manufacturing activity in the economy, published by Institute of Supply Management fell below 50% to 49.5% for the first time since April 2003.

Going by the fact that a falling dollar will help in balancing out the imbalances is not appealing as it would have been in the past. Today we live in a globalised era and the curtains have come down significantly between economies and markets are far more deregulated. And this has narrowed the scope for correction in the trade balances through an exchange rate window. Conventionally, a depreciation in the dollar would help American exports and make imports costlier (discouraging imports) thereby, bridging the trade gap. But in the present context depreciation in dollar would hardly affect imports today as pricing power of producers have fallen significantly due to commoditisation. So, we generally do not experience any shock due to depreciation of currency thereby imports stay unfettered, subsequently having a minimal corrective effect on the current account balances. And if at all such a thing has to happen, then it would require the dollar to fall more than what it should have in the past; and this variation which is not considered might be quite high and bring the whole global financial system to its knees. Well, there can be a less violent solution to this imbalance problem.

Moreover, the dollar depreciation against the euro and pound would never address the global current account imbalances. If we look at the US deficits, to a large extent it reflects the surpluses of Asian economies. Interestingly, there hasn’t been any marked depreciation of dollar against the major Asian currencies. Rather, major Asian currencies like the yen and the yuan have actually depreciated by 0.8% and 2.9% respectively, against the dollar during the same period (Jan 03, 2006 – Dec 01, 2006). So, till the time dollar doesn’t depreciate against the Asian currencies, hoping the imbalances to improve is actually being too optimistic. And as far as the current course of the dollar against the pound and the euro is concerned, the chances that this depreciation would continue for long also seems quite unlikely. First of all today many developing countries have locked their reserves in dollar and they won’t let the dollar to depreciate for the sake of their own reserves. Secondly, there are vested interests of other countries to keep their own currencies down against the dollar in order to support their own exports. Many argue that interest rates are rising elsewhere and Fed has stopped, which is driving this depreciation. Furthermore, a look at the interest rate differentials, which is currently 2% between US and Europe, shows that the dollar is as attractive as it was in the past. Well, for the imbalances to improve, fiscal discipline – cutting expenditures and broadening the revenue base – on the part of US is a more desirable option and of course, a less costlier one, rather than a dollar depreciation.

Topic: Education

The students visited organizations like Nestle in Vevey, Switzerland, Federation of Swiss Watch Industry (Bienne), Sulzer (Winterthur), IMD Lausanne etc. This international exposure not only broadens the students' horizons, but also brings them at communication terms with global management professionals..." {Source: Hindu, May 2002}

The integrated and full time programme in national economic planning and entrepreneurship provided by IIPM (which are superior to standard MBA and BBA programs), alongwith IIPM's Fellowship, Executive Education (and Global Opportunities and Threats Analysis programs where students visit organizations like the United Nations (Geneva), World Bank, ILO, Nestle S.A. Vevey, IMD Lausanne, Credit Suisse etc.) have created some of the highest standards in the management field.

Full time Programme in National Economic Planning and Entrepreneurship (leading to the award of the MBA degree from IMI): This is the renowned two year full time Master's residential program that leads to the award of the MBA degree from the International Management Institute, Belgium, one of the Europe's leading business schools. Offered currently at the Asian (New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Ahmedabad & Hyderabad) campuses of IIPM, students have the option of transferring their credits to IMI Belgium and continuing their studies there. Students study core subjects in the first year related to various areas like National Economic Planning, Marketing, Personnel & Industrial Relations, Finance & Accounting, Production, Quantitative Techniques, IT Systems and various other term papers.

Apart from these two compulsory specializations, students have a choice of taking up an additional specialization, namely Finance or Human Resources. Students in the second year also study advanced core papers like Business Policy & Strategic Planning, Mergers & Acquisitions, International Marketing etc. Students have to submit a thesis dissertation at the end of the program. Interestingly, this IIPM program has been rated as covering at least 33% more credits than any other MBA course in the world. Visit the link on Faculty to view the intellectual strength behind the Full time Programme in National Economic Planning and Entrepreneurship courses and the subjects covered.

European Exchange Program with IMI: Considered one of the most valuable learning experiences at IIPM, all students of IIPM who successfully complete the first year of their programme at IIPM in India are eligible to go to IMI for the duration of one trimester in the second year. The students would stay & study at the Antwerp Campus of IMI in Belgium. The students would get the opportunity to interact with international faculty as IMI faculty includes various American, European & Asian professors. Students would be in the midst of truly multi-national student groups as IMI students belong to various parts of the world. During the course of this study, the students would be taken on corporate & academic tours to Brussels (Belgium), Paris (France) & Bruges (Belgium). This would provide the most invaluable opportunity of understanding how global organizations work.

IIPM Mission
Mood:

bright
Topic: Education

The Indian Institute of Planning and Management has set before it the twin tasks: (1) to reorient education and research towards the needs of both the private and public (government) sectors and (2) to establish the link between the national economic planning and the development of private enterprises in our country. The Indian Institute of Planning and Management aims at initiating training and research on problems of development that must be solved for realizing planned national objectives. Unfortunately education in India has still remained primarily oriented towards the needs of the private sector and has overlooked the specific requirements of the public sector. India has even failed to do justice to the private sector by not properly formulating the basic framework within which they should operate. The scope and role of the Indian private sector, in the context of national economic planning, is quite distinct from that of the foreign private sector firms operating in free market economies originally developed through colonial exploitation.

Problems of development of the private and the public sectors are, therefore, to be studied and analyzed carefully in the background of national economic planning. Otherwise, India would not be able to translate the laudable goals of plans into physical realities, however sophisticated the planning models may be. Despite the basic differences that exist between the private and the public sector, once the strategy for planned development has been formulated, both the sectors must draw up their operational plans in a complementary way to realize the planned objectives. Otherwise, India may find the public and the private sectors working at cross-purposes. Undertaking objective commitments towards these goals, IIPM has set up various Centers to objectively support these goal oriented commitments. Foundations like the Great Indian Dream Foundation also are examples of the effectiveness that such movements can bring about.

As an educational institute, IIPM aims at developing a three dimensional personality in our students. (1) Pursuit of knowledge, (2) commitment to economic, social and cultural uplifting of masses and (3) cultivation of taste for literature, fine arts etc. IIPM's success is seconded by our turning out leaders and entrepreneurs year after year who are committed to the Indian masses and are so urgently needed by the country.

IIPM History

In the mid 1960s, a proposal to set up an Institute under the name of "Institute for Planning and Administration of National Economy" was forwarded to IIPM Campus Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Prime Minister of India and Chairman, Planning Commission, Government of India. A study tour was undertaken under Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri's commission during 1964-65 to acquire first hand knowledge about the working of similar institutions in Europe. A working paper on Regional Planning was circulated under the name of "Indian Institute of Planning" in 1969.

After resigning from Professorship at IIM (Indian Institute of Management) Bangalore, and after having been a Professor at XLRI Jamshedpur, Dr. Chaudhuri took over as Research Professor and founder Director of IIPM in 1973. Incidentally, Dr. Chaudhuri has also been the founder director of management courses at IMT Ghaziabad. At IIPM, the first residential full-time Post-Graduate Diploma Programme commenced on 12th August 1974, with students selected through admission tests and interviews held in New Delhi, Calcutta, Bombay & Bangalore. IIPM pioneered the all India admission procedure by holding admission tests and interviews in 15 centers, namely, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Mumbai (Bombay), Kolkata (Calcutta), Chandigarh, New Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Chennai, Patna & Trivandrum. The institute has, through the experiences of the past decades, accumulated a vast and massive base of knowledge and learning. It has grown in the areas of activities, at the same time maintaining a close connection with various competencies that have working synergies with the core management education area. IIPM's activities now range from education & rural development programmes to management consulting, public relations, marketing consulting, research, training & development, human resources consulting & media consulting.

IIPM Ranked 4th Amongst all B-schools in INDIA

Inspite of beings invited by various magazines, IIPM has constantly tried to stay out of various B-Schools ranking (the extremely credible Outlook ranking beings the only exception) taken out by them. this stems out of the fact that IIPM believes that its course content are far superior to those of any other institute in the country. IIPM has strong reservations on the methodology applied by most of the magazines to rank B-schools. Being an institute totally focussed on quality education and faculty it believes that educational institutes should be jugded primarily on these groups (most of these B-school rankings give and maximum of only 20% to 30% weightage to the same). However, often magazines taken out rankings without IIPMs participation - based upon student perceptions etc. In such rankings, IIPM has invariably been in the top 20 B-schools in India.

IIPM Aims & Objectives
Mood:

bright

The Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) aims at initiating training and research on problems of development that must be solved for realising planned national objectives. Unfortunately education in Indian has still remained primarily oriented towards the needs of the private sector and has overlooked the specific requirements of the public sector. We have even failed to do justice to the private sector in as much as we have not succeeded in impressing upon the students the basic framework within which the private sector has to operate in our country. the scope and role of the private sector in our country, in the context of national economic planning, is quite distinct from that of the private sector in the free market economies originally developed through colonial exploitation.

Problems of development of the private and the public sector are, therefore, to be studied and analyzed carefully in the background of national economic planning. Otherwise, we shall not be able to translate the laudable goals of plants into physical realities, however sophisticated the planning models may be. Inspite of the basic differences that exist between the private and the public sector, once the strategy for planned development has been formulated, both the sectors must draw up their operational plans in a complementary way to realize the planned objectives. Otherwise, we may find them working at cross purposes.

the Indian Institute of Planning and Management(IIPM) has set before it the twin tasks: to reorient education and research towards the needs of both the sectors and the established the links between the national economics planning and the development of private enterprises in our country.

As an educational institute, we aim at developing a three dimensional personality in our students, viz(1) pursuit of knowledge, (2) commitment to economic, social and cultural upliftment of masses and (3) cultivation of taste for literature, fine arts etc. If we succeed, we shall turnout barefoot leaders and entrepreneurs who are committed to the masses and are so urgently needed by the country.
