Mumbai: Professor Manoj Kumar Tiwari was reappointed for a second term as the director of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Mumbai on Friday, following the approval of the President of India Droupadi Murmu. He will lead the management campus for five more years.
Tiwari has been the founding director of IIM Mumbai (formerly known as the National Institute of Industrial Engineering) and has played a pivotal role in shaping its transformation. His contributions extend beyond academia, having served in various key positions at the ministry level, AICTE, and UGC, where he has played a significant role in educational reforms, policy-making, and implementation. He plans to introduce many more specialised programmes, including a centre for the institute in eastern India, from where IIM-Mumbai will offer specialised management courses. tnn
