IIM Sambalpur Aims To Transform Academic Governance and Leadership of HEIs Through MMTTP

During the welcome address, Prof. Mahadeo Jaiswal, Director, IIM Sambalpur, said, "National prosperity and international recognition through accreditations and rankings begin with strong grassroots education. We at IIM Sambalpur believe that leadership in education is about fostering innovation, integrity, and inclusiveness while enhancing governance. Our MMTTP programme aims to empower educational leaders to strengthen institutions, elevate standards, embrace technology, and drive systemic transformation, contributing to both national growth and global excellence. As the prosperity of a nation hinges not only on its talent and resources but on the ethical and transparent governance principles cultivated within its educational frameworks." 

He further said, "This MMTTP programme employs an interactive pedagogy that includes case study teaching methods, supplemented with reading, lectures and simulations among other interactive exercises that will help in enhancing cross-functional coordination, conflict resolution, and consensus-building techniques. This customized programme will empower educators and administrators to become effective leaders within their institutions and communities.

There were multiple sessions organized throughout the 5-day programme from IIM Sambalpur faculties, though one session on situational leadership was taken by Prof. Shyam Sundar Patnaik from OUAT University.  The programme was introduced by Prof Ramakrushna Padhy, Programme Director, MMTTP and vote of thanks was given by Prof Poonam Kumar, Programme Director, MMTTP.
