Chairman's Message

All the group Institutions of Dharmasthala are committed to imparting quality education well blended with values. SDMIMD has been taking special efforts to fine-tune teaching styles in order to make the learning a world class and on-going experience. We firmly believe that ethical practices and universal values are the starting point for business excellence. Accordingly we have fashioned the institute to set a benchmark in managerial education. The two international accreditations that were accorded to us last year, are a testimony to the rigour, contemporary relevance, and pedagogical innovativeness that prevails in SDMIMD.
 

Director's Message

It gives me great pleasure to greet you all at the start of the new academic year.
 
SDMIMD plans to consolidate the gains of accreditation in the following ways:
 

• The value-based strategic thrust as envisaged in the Vision and Mission statements of the Institute, are sought to be built upon.
• The outcome management and rubrics in the flagship program are sought to be revised and refined to keep in line with changing needs.
• While the extent and quality of research has already come in for appreciation, we are taking steps to have more corporate-based research to take care of decision-making capabilities.
• The thrust on improved corporatisation will continue, with more programs and online offerings.

We look forward to your continued support to the Institute and its activities.
With best wishes,
