Bhargava Committee Report on IIM

The committee was setup in 2007 with the objective of looking into the functioning of IIMs and how can the rising aspirations of people be met via IIMs.

• It submitted its report in 2008 and following were the observations and recommendations.

Important Recommendations: Long term excellence of any institution is closely correlated to the quality of governance. Good governance requires that all involved should have clarity of roles, powers to execute the allocated tasks and accountability for results.

• IIMs have been established by the Government with public funds, are perceived as public institutions and thus IIMs cannot expect to become fully independent of the Government but there must be limitation to government interventions.
