Prof. Vinita Singh Sahay has been appointed as the Director by the Board of Governors of the Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya for a second term. Prof. Sahay took charge as the founder Director of IIM Bodh Gaya in February 2018.
Speaking on occasion, Prof. Sahay said, “I truly appreciate the Board’s enduring confidence and trust in me. My sincere gratitude to the Ministry of Education, Govt. of India, and the Government of Bihar for their invaluable support to me and the Institute since its inception.
I am thankful to our astute Board, comprising members of eminence, for being a constant source of encouragement, inspiration, and strength. This support has led the Institute to carve out a distinct place for itself, with several firsts to its credit.
The vision of the Institute for the next phase would be to make meaningful social impact through management education by focusing on core values founded on Indian ethos and global outlook. In a capitalistic world, an often-undervalued capital is a human one – the human capital that India is richly bestowed with.
It is a privilege to be provided another opportunity to groom and nurture the best minds of the country into future leaders characterised by their mindful social relevance.”Prof. Sahay is an educator, researcher and academic administrator, is the second woman in the country appointed by the Government of India to head an IIM.
She has 26 years of rich and varied experience in academics, research, training and consulting both in India and abroad.
