I am proud that DR VN
BRIMS has completed a decade of its existence. The flagship MMS
programme of DR VN BRIMS, is a two years full time Masters
Degree Course affiliated to the University of Mumbai and
approved by the All India Council for Technical Education
(AICTE). We now have two divisions with an intake capacity of 60
students per division. The recognition for our flagship course
validates the benchmarks adopted by DR VN BRIMS and should offer
society at large an opportunity to pursue high quality, World
class, management education at our Thane campus.
At DR VN BRIMS, we strive to create an environment conducive for
management studies and encourage students to be a part of the
academic life-force at our well-maintained and well-staffed
Thane College Campus. The electronic security system installed
in our campus in 2009 provides best-in-class security
infrastructure and an assurance of safe, reliable and open
environment to all. Education at DR VN BRIMS transcends above
and beyond classroom and library driven pedagogy. It aims at a
holistic development of students’ personality, honing their
skills and innate attributes. Above all, it places great
emphasis on character, morality, discipline and attempts to
build socially responsible citizens for the nation.
We are proud of the intellectual capital of DR VN BRIMS which
comprises a large number of visiting faculties who are all
eminently qualified professionals from different areas of
interest and walks of life, who along with our contingent of
well qualified full time faculty, form the nucleus, the critical
mass as it were, of knowledge power. It is this knowledge tank
which stimulates the students into learning experiences of a
totally different order to make them unique, special and
exclusive in their overall profile and personality with a well
differentiated unique selling proposition(USP).
The achievements at DR VN BRIMS are visible in all spheres -
academic rigour and excellence, student activities, seminars,
workshops and research publications. Again, our visiting faculty
network, along with the network of recruiters for summer
internships and full time placements, are the key to
industry-academia interactions. Our annual seminars and
workshops are yet another redeeming feature adding further value
to our contribution to the cause of management education. DR VN
BRIMS became an ISO certified institution in July 2008 in a
short period of three years since inception. Today, it is
eagerly looking forward to achieving the ISO 9001:2008
accreditation and also preparing itself for an accreditation by
the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), a body constituted by
the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) under
Section 10 (u) of the AICTE Act, 1987. The faculty and staff of
DR VN BRIMS are working under the dynamic stewardship of the
Director who brings to the table his vast managerial experience,
spanning over 20 years, in reputed multinational companies.
As Chairman of Vidya Prasarak Mandal (VPM), Thane, I, along with
the trustees of VPM, pledge to offer the best of infrastructure,
quality education and workplace that will protect the fraternity
of all stakeholders assuring the dignity of every individual.
The vision of VPM (Thane) is to make DR VN BRIMS, an institution
of excellence, driven by creativity and innovation, through
state-of-the-art infrastructure, with a view to provide quality,
value based, education seeking holistic development of students’
and teachers’ personalities to enable them to become socially
responsible citizens. I am indeed enthralled by what Shri.
Narayana Murthy had to say about VPM’s DR VN BRIMS during a
keynote address in a seminar on ‘Challenges for Indian
Multinationals’ on 17 May, 2006 at Thorale Bajirao Peshwe
Sabhagruha, Thane College Campus. To quote Shri. Narayana
Murthy, “You have to showcase a wonderful role model in creating
excellent institutions like this.”
The dedicated website of DR VN BRIMS will enable all
stakeholders to keep abreast of the latest happenings at the
institute and it will certainly be a milestone in our endeavours
to utilize state-of-the-art technology, to facilitate deployment
of modern means, methods and media for promoting DR VN BRIMS in
the knowledge era. In a world of seamless opportunities, DR VN
BRIMS is exploring ways of aligning itself with the Government
of India’s policy of making India a super knowledge power and
also bringing about, by way of consequence, a societal
transformation characterized by rapid, but, inclusive growth. I
hope that the DR VN BRIMS website will be a potent and powerful
platform for a vigorous, virile, viable and value added exchange
of information and knowledge to promote, project and provoke the
enthusiasm, energy and enterprise of all stakeholders for the
cause of the management movement of Thane city, our country and
across other cities, countries and continents of the globe.
I congratulate the entire DR VN BRIMS team for their commendable
contributions and hope that they will continue to exceed the
increasing expectations of society, from all stakeholders of
management education in particular and education World in
general. I am confident that with increased and improved support
from all stakeholders of DR VN BRIMS, we will be able to serve
the cause of education with greater vigour and rigour than ever
before. I am sure that sooner rather than later DR VN BRIMS will
be the cynosure of all eyes.
