Professor Dhiman Bhadra, Chairperson, FDP said, “Started in 1979, the Faculty Development Programme is one of the first programmes to be offered by IIMA and is one of the pioneering programmes on faculty training and education in India. Over time, it has constantly evolved to stay relevant to the changing times but has never veered from its founding principles of imparting rigorous training on cutting edge techniques of management research, pedagogy as well as on the core principles of general management and case method of teaching, which forms the hallmark of an IIMA education.”

“Needless to say, this programme has always proved to be a transformative experience to the participants who have gone on to remould themselves as successful teachers and prolific researchers over time. We hope that the same tradition will prevail for the upcoming ‘Class of 2023’,” he added.
