Mysore :

“B.N. Bahadur Institute of Management Sciences (BIMS) in Manasagangotri will be granted autonomous status from the next academic year,” said Prof. K.S. Rangappa, Vice- Chancellor, University of Mysore (UoM), here this morning.

Speaking after presiding over B.N. Bahadur Institute of Management Sciences’ Decennial Celebration Lecture Series on “Contemporary challenges in Managing Business” at Rani Bahadur Auditorium in city, he said the University had taken this decision at its Advisory Board meeting held yesterday.

He pointed out that the granting of autonomous status would help in the comprehensive development of the Institute and take it to much greater heights.

Dr. B.N.Bahadur, an alumni of the UoM and President & CEO of Blue Nectar Spirits Company, Michigan & Colorado, USA, who was the chief guest on the occasion, said that it gave him immense pleasure to come back to the Varsity Campus, especially at BIMS.

Recalling the then Vice-Chancellor Dr. S.N. Hegde’s visit to his house in USA approximately 12 years ago, Dr. Bahadur said that Dr. Hegde asked him whether he could support the UoM in building a Business Management school offering MBA programmes.

“I took Dr. Hegde’s request under consideration and discussed with my family and agreed to build a business school at this present location. I asked my friend late Dr.P.N. Reddy to take the lead in this venture along with Dr. Hegde and Dr. Shamanna. Thereafter the trio acted as a bridge in overseeing the construction of the Institute with the assistance of P.S. Prasad under the Bahadur Family Foundation. A couple of years later, the BIMS was born and today it has a total strength of over 450 national and international students,” said Dr. B.N. Bahadur.

Before his address, Dr. Bahadur greeted the gathering in 17 Indian and Foreign languages, much to their delight. On this momentous occasion, Prof. Rangappa handed over a citation nominating Dr. B.N. Bahadur and Rani Bahadur as the Overseas Brand Ambassador couple for the Centenary Celebration of University of Mysore.

Senior Journalist Niranjan Nikkam, Consultant for Centenary Celebrations, gave a brief on the significance of nominating Dr. Bahadur couple.
