You have a clean slate every day you wake up. You have a chance every single morning to make that change and be the person you want to be.
You just have to decide to do it. Decide today’s the day. Say it; This is going to be my day.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; un-rewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent. The slogan, Press on, has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
-Calvin Coolidge

Enhancing our Outreach
A public sector institution of higher education has to play an important role in contributing directly or indirectly to the socio-economic development of the country.

While teaching and research will generate the direct linkages by providing high calibre human resources to the economy in the medium to long term an institution
such as IBA has an obligation to strengthen its community, corporate sector, public sector and non profit sector linkages in the short run. These linkages can
be fostered by providing advisory and consultancy service, nurturing entrepreneurship and innovation and training of mid career executives. IBA is already

Endowment Funds
Endowment Funds
Being a public sector institution, the IBA mainly caters to the students from middle class and lower income groups – its fee increase is mostly modest and covers
only a fraction of the costs. Therefore, reliance has to be placed on other sources of funding / financing such as endowments, etc. The income generated from
these funds is utilized to supplement the faculty salaries, provide research funds to them, contribute to the hiring of foreign faculty / eminent scholars, academic
program enhancement, case study development, external accreditation and professional development of academia through participation in seminars and
conferences, both locally and internationally. All endowment funds are administered by the Board of Trustees which includes those organizations / persons who
have donated or pledged a minimum amount of Rs. 30 million or more in cash or kind. A list of endowment related funds currently in operation at IBA is appended
