IIM Jammu has decided to establish its off-campus in Ladakh.
A delegation led by Director, Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Jammu, Prof BS Sahay, called on the Chairman/CEC, Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Gyalson and appraised him of the decision.
The IIM proposes to promote the growth and development of UT Ladakh by taking initiatives in the areas of Incubation and Entrepreneurship, Skill Development, Executive Education, Advisory Services, etc.
CEC Gyalson expressed concern over local students migrating to different cities outside Ladakh and studying in premiere professional institutes amid various challenges.
He stated that having such institutes in Ladakh would overcome such challenges and help youth to enhance professional and develop entrepreneurship skills. He also stated that having professional skill training institutes like IIM with programmes suitable to the local environment and economic activities would gradually help in building more opportunities for the youth.
