IMDR was established in 1974 as
a constituent unit of the Deccan Education Society. It took
over the MBA programme of the MBA Centre of the University
of Pune and the DBM programme, run in the BMCC (a sister institution)
since 1968. Affiliated to the University of Pune, the IMDR was also a recognised centre for research leading to Ph D.
In 1977, the IMDR became
an autonomous institution by voluntarily delinking from the
University of Pune. Since then it has carried on its activities,
independent of the University or other statutory bodies. The
rationale of this step was stated in these words: "...to
make our teaching programmes, methods of teaching and examination
more comprehensive, more flexible and more result-oriented....". |
