Over three and a half decades ago, a man, then in his mid-thirties, challenged the convention and decided to change the way management education was taught in India. Despite skepticism, Dr. Malay Chaudhuri walked the talk and went on to establish The Indian Institute of Planning and Management in New Delhi in 1973. With no aid from the government, no sprawling campus or an infrastructure to die for, the man was driven by a passionate zeal and self-belief to offer the most intellectually stimulating management curriculum ever designed in India. His dream and his vision have given shape to a phenomenon called IIPM - which today stands tall across18 Indian cities and is regarded as the most globally networked B-School in the country, having academic engagements with the likes of University of Cambridge, University of Virginia, University of California at Berkeley, amongst others.
Yet again, the same man has now decided to challenge the veracity of the Nobel Prizes by announcing the Rabindranath Tagore Memorial International Prizes – an award that he envisions will surpass the Nobel Prizes not only in terms of prestige and popularity but also in terms of the prize money, in times to come.
The first award would be declared on October 2nd, 2011 and would be conferred in the first week of May 2012, on the day of Tagore’s Birthday (25th Baisakh as per Bengali calendar). The award is primarily instituted in the field of People Centric Economics/People Centric Management to highlight and honour Marxian economists/management experts who have passionately researched (and are still contributing) in the areas of economic growth across every social class through distribution of national income. These economists, of the likes of Maurice Dobb, Oskar Lange and Joan Robinson, have been deprived of due recognition by the capitalist Western world. Dr. Chaudhuri hopes to extend the Rabindranath Tagore Memorial Prizes in two additional categories – Literature and Peace – as on past occasions in numerous global forums, various undeserving candidates have been felicitated within such categories.
