Ashoka University on February 10 announced the establishment of the Havells School of Management & Leadership, supported by Havells India, which has committed Rs 250 crore to this new school. The endowment will be spread over a period of time.
Pramath Raj Sinha, Founder and Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, Ashoka University, said, “The establishment of the Havells School of Management & Leadership marks an important milestone in Ashoka University’s journey. We are building a new model of management education that combines the rigour of business thinking with the foundations of liberal arts.” This new School will complement the university’s current focus on humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and computer science. Its management and leadership programmes will be fully integrated with Ashoka’s liberal education approach.
The School will offer unique undergraduate programs in Applied Liberal Arts and Management, for the first time in India. The School will also offer integrated postgraduate programs, in partnership with leading schools of business and management in India and abroad.
Ashoka University’s signature interdisciplinary foundation courses will remain central to the Havells School of Management and Leadership’s undergraduate experience. The School’s specially curated programs will provide students with a broad foundation in the liberal arts with its emphasis on multi-disciplinarity, critical thinking, communication and leadership, while allowing them to specialise in management, business and entrepreneurship.
