Founder members from Left to right Mr. Navdeep K. Dewan, Mr. Avdhesh Mishra, Mr. Vijay Daulet Singh, Mr. Vijay K. Makhija, Mr. Shiv Saran Mehra
The Institute was conceived in response to the acute deficiency of centers of higher learning in the country as also, the need to develop relevant human capital to meet the technology and management challenges of the 21st century. The founders had a clear and well defined mission - to build an unaided, self - financed institution committed to delivering education of internationally recognized standards, an institution that would go on to serve as an intellectual resource base in India and the subcontinent. "Our aim from the beginning has been to make this Institute the most eminent in the country, in order to draw to it the youth of every State" Committed to making a profound and lasting contribution to society, ITM recognizes no more exalted role than that of "Educated Citizens" - citizens with a powerful sense of fairness, a profound belief in democratic ideals and a willingness to celebrate talents of many kinds. For the founders, this goal is rich with meaning. ITM stands faithful to the vision of its founders - it seeks students and faculty who take seriously their commitment to their community and their World, who are aware, active and involved. Students who graduate from ITM are expected to understand the technological, environmental and ethical challenges they will face in a World of accelerating change. Recognizing that those challenges will transcend the traditional boundaries between disciplines and nations, ITM encourages education that is distinctively interdisciplinary and international. " Yatha Drishti, Thatha Srishti As the Vision, so the World " To meet the challenges of emerging trends in Science, Technology and Management in the liberalized, dynamic and market driven economic environment, the development of relevant professional manpower has become increasingly necessary. Accordingly, the primary goal of the Institute is: To provide rigorous high quality and relevant education in India, designed to meet national needs and international standards, so that, the student community would have an alternative to seeking such education in a foreign country, at a significantly lower cost. To develop well rounded and professional graduates with a breadth of knowledge and the capability for analytical thinking who are committed to excellence in their personal and professional endeavours and, who have the vision, courage and dedication to operate successfully in a dynamic, technology driven global environment. To establish close ties with the corporate community and academicians of national and international repute. This will act as a rich resource of advice and information and shall help in keeping the curriculum relevant to the needs of business. To facilitate life long learning. Continuous efforts are made to realize this goal by providing a unique learning environment in which, the faculty and the students, share the responsibility for learning. Institute of Technology and Management's commitment to totally merit based decisions in every aspect of its operations constitutes an integral part of this learning environment; from selection of faculty and staff, to admission and evaluation of students. All programs of the Institute adhere to this core philosophy.
