FORE School of Management, Delhi, was conferred with the Best Business School of North-India, Award by ASSOCHAM (Associate Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India) in the Best Business School Awards - by region, category in the National Education Excellence Awards 2013, an initiative by ASSOCHAM, held on April 9, 2013, in New Delhi. The award was handed over by the Hon'ble Union Minister of HRD, Dr. M.M. Pallam Raju to Dr. Jitendra K Das, Director, FORE School.

 

ASSOCHAM presents Education Excellence Awards to those who have contributed significantly in the field of improving the quality in education delivery with emphasis on world-class research and innovations and enhancing the development of quality education. ASSOCHAM has undertaken certain initiatives in the area of reforms in education especially in the country's need to improve the gross enrollment ratio in higher education.

In his speech Hon. Minister, Dr. Pallam Raju, an Electronics & Communications Engineering graduate from Andhra University and an MBA from Temple University, Philadelphia, USA, appreciating the initiative taken by ASSOCHAM said, "One of the biggest challenge the nation today face is propelling India to move ahead in the employability quotient. Education is seen as an access to opportunity for the child and if education is not able to fulfill the expectation or provide and create the right kind of employability, it is not of much value. While the government is committed to take up the issue, equal responsibility lies with the academia and the corporate sector to create a value system. A nation without a value system would be radar less".
