IIM-Lucknow yet to get new director

Filed under:

IIM-Lucknow, one of the premier business institutes of the country, is still in the dark about who will take over the B-school’s reins after the present director Dr Devi Singh’s tenure ends on Sunday. In a meeting conducted at the campus on Saturday, the director confirmed handing over the charge to two of the deans - Prof Sukumar Nandi, dean, planning and development; and Prof Yogesh Agarwal, dean, academic affairs - on Sunday.

It’s been nine months since the search for new director was set rolling by the search committee specifically appointed for the purpose. Infact, sources say Dr Singh was on the top of the short-listed candidates, for a second term. However, nothing concrete has emerged out of the process yet. A source who didn’t wish to be identified, says: “It’s an embarrassing situation both for the government and the institute of such repute. You talk of global standards and this is the pace at which things work.”

Headed by Nripendra Mishra, chairman, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, the selection committee includes JJ Irani, chairman of the board of governors, and R P Aggarwal, secretary, higher education.

According to a letter sent to the board chairman, interviews were conducted on 2nd May and the file was sent to the department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on 14th. It was sent back again on 28th July following certain clarifications which were sought by the DoPT. However, professors at the campus are annoyed over the slow pace of the developments. It takes time to plan a course of action, specially at this level, they feel.
