DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

As we step into 2026, management education stands at a critical juncture. Institutions can no longer function merely as teaching centres; they must evolve as leadership laboratories—spaces where decision-making, accountability, ethics, and execution are consciously cultivated. At H & G H Mansukhani Institute of Management (MIM),

 

our resolutions for 2026 are firmly anchored in a collective “we” approach, recognising that institutional growth is a shared responsibility.

Our focus for the year ahead is clear: to build leadership capacity across the institution while strengthening systems, relevance, and credibility.

1. Leadership Beyond Designation:- Leadership at MIM in 2026 will be defined by initiative, ownership, and informed decision-making. Faculty, coordinators, administrators, and students are encouraged to function as partners in institutional progress, aligned to a shared vision.
2. Faculty as Academic and Industry-Ready Leaders: We commit to strengthening faculty leadership through industry engagement, case-based teaching, research orientation, and participation in academic governance, enabling faculty to mentor students beyond classrooms.
3. Students as Responsible Management Leaders: Students will be shaped into responsible leaders through live projects, internships, industry interaction, entrepreneurship initiatives, and student-led activities rooted in discipline, accountability, and ethical grounding.
4. Industry Alignment as Institutional Leadership: Curriculum delivery and skill development will be aligned with evolving industry expectations, supported by meaningful industry partnerships, guest lectures, and experiential learning.
5. Technology and AI with Managerial Judgement: Technology and AI will be integrated thoughtfully to enhance analytical capability and decision support, while preserving human judgement, ethics, and strategic reasoning.
6. Governance, Discipline, and Financial Responsibility: We reaffirm our commitment to transparent governance, academic discipline, regulatory compliance, and prudent financial management to safeguard institutional credibility and sustainability.
7. Building a Culture of Ownership and Continuity We aim to nurture a culture where leadership is shared, systems are sustainable, and institutional success transcends individuals and tenures.
