The institute said, 'The Bachelor of Science in Management and Public Policy programme is designed to meet national managerial aspirations in terms of Sustainability, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), and community-led development. The cross-functional courses are designed to develop responsible leaders who can address intricate societal and industrial challenges with innovation, compassion, and a global perspective'. The event also witnessed a roundtable discussion around the theme, 'Global Capability Centres (GCCs) as Engines of Innovation for Global Enterprises'. Bramhanand Jha, PMP, Vice President, National eGovernance Division under MeitY, Ministry of Electronics and IT, Government of India, attended the occasion as the chief guest. While Lt. Col. Piyush Shukla, Director (JEE), National Testing Agency (NTA) and Rajesh Kumar, Director (CUET), National Testing Agency (NTA) were present as the keynote speakers, who came together to discuss the evolving role of GCCs as crucial hubs driving innovation and global digital transformation and contributed valuable insights on the future of global enterprises and the strategic role of GCCs. Mr. Jha said, 'India's Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are no longer low-cost arbitrage centres; they are becoming strategic innovation hubs for value for global business.

We are admitting 90 students to this program in phase one.' 'This is for those who want to enter the bureaucracy, or the Indian Administrative Services (IAS). There isn't an undergraduate-level programme in India today that specifically prepares an individual for such a career. We feel that some of the best minds who are targeting a career in the civil services must be given foundation-level training through a formal programme. This programme will enable students to make an informed decision right at the start of their academic career and give them the right mindset and skillset to enter the government.' he added.
