ABOUT US
Who we are
Centre for Governance is an initiative of IIMK dedicated to doing rigorous and impactful research on Governance. We envision an inter-disciplinary approach to solve complex policy problems and translate academic research into evidence-based governance practice. Our research blends inputs from cutting-edge developments in leadership, public policy, management, strategy and business. In partnership with bureaucrats, government agencies, non-government organizations, policy advocacy groups and regulatory institutions, we perform robust research aiming at the sustainable transformation of governance systems in the country. With our multi-disciplinary expertise we intend to disseminate knowledge, share best practices and collaborate with its counterparts across the globe, to pursue excellence in the governance arena.
Our Vision
To develop and operationalize a policy agenda that maintains the highest standards of governance.
From the Director's Desk
"India’s transformation in the last few decades, in the context of a globalized, decentralized and liberalized world, aspires a significant jump in the level of governance standards. The technological advancement should be complemented with the capacity building of decision-makers and creating new platforms for collaborative learning. The creation of the Centre for Governance is in line with IIMK’s vision to create a unique and futuristic space of global reckoning so as to nurture the finest management thinkers. It contributes to the IIMK mission by integrating concepts with applications and values thereby contributing towards community development. The centre is envisaged to be a reference centre to espouse governance thinking and help organizations ameliorate their governance apparatus. CG is a confluence of thinkers, administrators, teachers and those involved in our mission to globalize the finest insights on governance for a changing world order. Wish you a great learning experience!"
- Dr.Debashis Chatterjee
