India's IIMs have emerged as strong catalysts of nation-building and economic transformation, while also becoming global models of excellence in leadership and management education, he added.

The Minister further stated that by nurturing innovation ecosystems, adapting to emerging global challenges, and fostering values-driven education, IIMs can evolve into national assets that contribute significantly to India's journey towards becoming a developed nation and also strengthen India's voice in the global discourse.

The deliberations covered critical issues such as IIMs' contribution towards Viksit Bharat goals, aligning focus of UG entrance examinations with futuristic requirements of the country, developing SOPs for MBA admission along with inter-IIM migration  of students and fee refund policies, developing a policy for providing exposure to young faculty as well as to young IIMs through secondment policy across IIMs, and implementing reservation rosters for faculty and non-faculty.
