IIM C alcutta

H istory

After India becameindependentin 1947, thePlanning Commissionwas entrusted to oversee

and direct the development of the nation. India grew rapidly in the 1950s, and in the late
1950s the Commission started facing difficulties in finding suitable managers for the large
number ofpublic sector enterprisesthat were being established in India as a part of its
industrial policy. To solve this problem, the Planning Commission in 1959 invited Professor
George Robbins of theUniversity of Californiato help in setting up an all India level institute
of management studies. Based on his recommendations, the Indian government decided to
set up two elite management institutes, namedIndian Institutes of Management.
Indian Institute of Management Calcutta was the first of these IIMs, and was established on
13 November 1961in collaboration with theMIT Sloan School of Management, the
government ofWest Bengal, theFord Foundationand the Indian industry. Its first Director
wasK. T. Chandy, the former Chairman ofHindustan Unilever Limited. During the initial
years of IIM Calcutta, several renowned academics and visionaries formed part of its core
team, includingPaul Samuelson,Jagdish Sheth, J K Sengupta, Peter S King, and Thomas Hill.
