IIM-B to discuss Moily panel report
A day after the Oversight Committee, headed by former Karnataka Chief Minister M Veerappa Moily, submitted its report on implementation of quota for OBCs, the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIM-B), has decided to take it up for discussion at the next board of governors’ meeting.
“I cannot comment at this juncture since the report has not reached us,” IIM-B Director Prakash G Apte says. When asked if the report will be discussed in the board of governors’ meeting, he said, “Yes, it has to be taken up. I am yet to study the recommendations”.
The next board meeting of the IIM-B is scheduled sometime in October. During consultative meetings with the expert group, constituted by the Oversight Committee, the IIM-B had expressed its inability to implement the reservation policy at one go. It is in favour of a split campus to implement the quota over a period of three years.
The IIM-B had said it required 15 acres of land for a new campus. The cost of expansion will be around Rs 50 crore, excluding the cost of land. Besides, the IIMB is facing faculty shortage.
