International Student Research Paper Competition

About IIFT

At the initiative of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) was set

up on May 2nd, 1963 as an autonomous organisation to help professionalise the country's

foreign trade management and increase exports by developing human resources;

generating, analysing and disseminating data; and conducting research. The Institute

visualises its future role as:

A catalyst for new ideas, concepts

and skills for the

internationalisation of the Indian

economy

The primary provider of training and

research-based consultancy in the

areas of international business, both

for the corporate sector,

Government and the students’

community

An institution with proven capability to continuously upgrade its knowledge base

with a view to servicing the requirements of the Government, trade and industry

through both sponsored and non-sponsored research and consultancy assignments

The Institute's portfolio of long-term programmes is diverse, catering to the requirements of

aspiring International Business executives and mid-career professionals alike. These are:

Two-year MBA (International Business), New Delhi, Kolkata, and Dar-es-Salaam Three-year MBA (International Business) (Part-Time), New Delhi and Kolkata

Executive Masters in International Business, New Delhi

Certificate Programme in Export Management, New Delhi

IIFT has, over the years, undertaken path-breaking research studies with organisations like

WTO, World Bank, UNCTAD and the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India.

The Institute has also trained more than 40,000 business professionals across the world in

various facets of international business and trade policy via its Management Development

Programmes.

Golden Jubilee: An Eventful Journey of Five Decades (1963-2013)

An organization like IIFT grows from within but only after taking the nourishment from its

environment. The ever evolving character of the foreign trade sector continuously throws

up new opportunities and challenges which the Institute in its own way attempts to face by

re-delineating the contours of its activities.

In 60s and 70s, IIFT made significant contribution in human resources development for

exports when the country needed the skill development for external trade. In 80s, it evolved

into a Centre of Strategy and Development when international trade became an integral

part of international diplomacy.

In 90s, IIFT took up the role of a world class business school when country needed efficient

managers with the unleashing of liberalisation and reforms. And to-day, IIFT has emerged

not only as a leading B-School in the Asia-Pacific but also as a Centre for Excellence in

International Business and hub for strategy and research. It is one of the few institutions

which have a strong international foot print in Europe and Tanzania.

To commemorate the milestone of completing 50 illustrious years, IIFT hosted Honourable

President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee and Shri Anand Sharma, Union Minister for

Commerce, Industry and Textile on its Foundation Day May 02, 2013. Shri Mukherjee also

unveiled a bronze statue at IIFT Delhi Campus based on theme “Wings of Wisdom”.

“This is an occasion to recognize the enormous

intellectual contribution made by the Institute in

foreign trade and international business...

…Over the years, IIFT has broadened its

academic framework by providing management

education and PhD courses… ”

-Shri Pranab Mukherjee

Shri Anand Sharma released the Commemorative Volume of Foreign Trade Review and

presented its first copy to the President on the occasion. The dignitaries present on the

occasion were Dr. D. Purandeswari, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, Shri S. R.

Rao, Chairman, IIFT and Secretary, Commerce and Dr. Surajit Mitra, Director, IIFT.

Dr. Mitra emphasised on the vision of IIFT- “to become a ‘Knowledge Centre’, to become a

single stop ‘hub’ for International Business Strategy, analysis and information”
