A conference on Creating and Sustaining Institutions: The Indian Experience was organised by IIM-Indore during October 2-3. The primary purpose of the conference was to reflect on institutions that have come in existence in this country from a broad spectrum of ownership and domain of operations. The truly world class, inviting and salubrious venue of IIM Indore provided a stimulating environment and fostered an unleashing of intellectual discourse, debate and discussion during the conference.
The conference was attended by 300 participants including invited speakers, dlegates, students and faculty members of IIM Indore.
The conference was marked by lively talks, passionate presentations and subtle arguments and counter arguments. Stalwarts from across the country grappled with issues and offered wide ranging opinions and views on the process of institution building.
