| Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management (IISWBM) is likely to tie-up with The University of Michigan and Kurtztown University in Pennsylvania, for running courses in sports management.
|
| |
| A final decision is likely to be taken by next month.
|
| |
| “The proposal of collaboration came from the University of Michigan. We have not yet taken a final decision on the matter,” said U K Bandyopadhayay, registrar of IISWBM.
|
| |
| The course would include student and teacher exchange programme, and joint research, said Ashoke K Dutta, director of IISWBM.
|
| |
| “We have about 1,800 management institutes across the country. We have to find a niche area, if we have to be distinct from others,” he said.
|
| |
| The institute was also planning to send a team of students to the Beijing Olympic 2008, said Dutta.
|
| |
| “The sports management department has made significant strides this year. Our submissions on the draft National Sports Policy, 2006 , have been appreciated by the Union ministry of youth affairs and sports as well, as the deputy chairman of the planning commission,” he said.
|
| |
| The ministry had also invited the institution's proposals for making the National Sports Development Fund more useful to achieve excellence in sports at the international level, he added.
|
| |
| IISWBM has also collaborated with Institute of International Management Consultancy of Ludwigshafen, University of Applied Sciences', Germany for management courses. |
