“IIPM won against UGC in High Court, and it is very well documented“, says Arindam Chaudhuri

As the kick off celebrations start, Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri, the Honorary Director at IIPM Think Tank rubbishes the entire UGC controversy as fake news and manipulated. "UGC put IIPM in a list of fake universities way back in 2008. IIPM instantly went to HC where they were reprimanded and the name had to be taken off the list. It ended there. Rest post that is media circus. It goes on and on these days of WhatsApp university and social media, you can keep circulating crap. IIPM was never a fake university and it won its case against UGC when they tried to call us one. Post losing to us UGC has never called us a Fake University as they are barred from HC. They have often said IIPM can't give degrees. I don't care. Only a fool will think we give degrees. We are not an university nor have we called ourselves one. We are an institute and we give our certification. They are free to say the obvious. In any case it's written all over our website and ads. The entire history is well documented right at the top of our website. But yes, white they say this about us they must say this about the other 5000 institutes like ISB etc as well. They also can't give degrees. Unfortunately no one cares to realise the game or to read what's written in or prospectus and website. They are happy with the lies written on Wikipedia and everywhere else", explains Arindam.

To kick off the celebrations, IIPM Think Tank launched its vision for India at 100 through a book authored by Dr. Malay Chaudhuri & Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri - 2047, A Roadmap to Beating USA & China.

IIPM has also officially unveiled the spanking new Logo of IIPM depicting its philosophy and in celebration of its 50th year.

"Our Logo with Wheat Chaff & Machine Wheel signifying the coordinated efforts of the WORKERS of the Agricultural Sector & Industrial Sector, necessitating the requirement of Planning & Management depicts our basic philosophy! I believe, even today it would be difficult to find a more rooted, meaningful and significant symbol of commitment to Indian economic growth and equality", explains Dr. Arindam. While the original IIPM Blue and Red remains, the new version of the logo has gold in it along with the numbers 50 making the occasion loud and clear!

IIPM is also launching a certification program in ‘Disruptive Entrepreneurship' to mark the occasion and to match IIPM's role of being the original disruptors in the field of education in India, for which Arindam was given the title of ‘Godfather of Private Education in India' by the Elite Magazine.
