SHILLONG: The Indian Institute of Management Shillong through its Centre for Development of NER (CEDNER) launched a six-month certificate course on developing managerial skills for entrepreneurs drawn from the local community at its Mayurbhanj Palace Complex here on Saturday under the course directorship of Keya Sengupta.
IIM director AK Dutta said, "We have been consistent in our efforts to bring about alleviation of poverty with an inclusive notion of growth and development within the host region, and CEDNER has become a sought after entity by various stakeholders in the NER simply because of its committed stance and efforts aimed at responding to the local needs".
Speaking at the occasion Union Doner minister BK Handique lauded the efforts of CEDNER and hoped that the Institute would continue to inspire a change in the mindset and the overall approach of the youth towards enhancing their managerial skills and entrepreneurial aptitude.
"It is heartening to see that apart from its commitment to provide quality education, IIM Shillong is also trying to find solutions to issues which concern the society," observed Vincent Pala, Union minister of state for water resources.
The CEDNER, formerly known as the Accelerated Learning Centre (ALC) had been constituted since the inception of IIM Shillong and is involved in organizing both short term and long term programmes relevant to the local community and society of the state and the region.
"Members of the local community who may otherwise have limited opportunities for getting exposure to training for skill development are provided with such opportunities by the Institute," an official statement said.
Altogether 30 students from the entire NER have been selected for the course after a thorough screening process. - MD
