Governance

Goa Institute of Management (GIM) was founded in 1993 with a vision to nurture graduates who will be acknowledged as transformative leaders, focused on responsible, ethical, and sustainable business practices.

To achieve this, GIM prides itself on having a student-friendly campus. This is reflected in the way GIM integrates student feedback to innovate, improvise, and enhance the pedagogy, course material or campus facilities. In addition, the Director, Dean and Programme Chairs regularly meet with the student groups to seek suggestions and feedback on improvement. Students have a student advisory council, an elected apex body of various students’ clubs at GIM, with a further interface between the students and the management.

This inclusive governance is also reflected by alumni representation in the governing bodies and the boards of studies of different programs. Engagement from alumni enables professors to maintain connections with business and keep their courses current.

GIM’s pedagogy helps to inculcate a sustainability mindset among students. This is achieved by enabling emphasis with stakeholders and nudging them to translate their knowledge into action. Students are encouraged to acquire critical thinking and engage with contemporary social and environmental issues. The Centre for Social Sensitivity and Action (CSSA) and the Centre for Excellence in Sustainable Development (CESD) together with student initiatives, create opportunities for students to engage in stakeholder dialogues, sharing and co-creating knowledge.

Since its inception, GIM has implemented many initiatives to respond to the three pillars of sustainable development. The institute has prepared a unique biodiversity register of the campus, monitoring flora and fauna and conducting tree plantation drives to contribute towards environmental sustainability. To support economic sustainability, GIM creates meaningful employment opportunities for the local community. Social sustainability is promoted by GIM’s diversity and inclusion strategies in the admission of students and recruitment of faculty and staff.
