The Institute of Public Enterprise (IPE)
was established in 1964 for the study of issues and
policies relating to public enterprises (PEs). Shri.S.S
Khera, ICS, the then Cabinet Secretary, Government of
India, had conceived the idea of a research institution
that would undertake a systematic and sustained study of
issues relevant to the formulation of policies towards
public enterprises. In the early sixties, when PEs were
designed as the principal instrument to serve the social
and economic objectives of development, Shri. Khera felt
that there was need for an institute which would collect
relevant information and documents on PEs, study specific
issues and undertake consultancy and training exclusively
for PEs. Dr.V.V. Ramanadham, the then Professor and Head
of the Department of Commerce, Osmania University,
translated Shri Khera’s concept into a reality that is IPE,
with the active support and guidance provided by the late
Dr. D. S Reddy, then Vice-Chancellor, Osmania University
as an autonomous, non-profit society at the initiative of
the then Cabinet Secretary to the Government of India,
Shri S.S.Khera, ICS, and late Dr.D.S.Reddy,
Vice-Chancellor of Osmania University. The Indian Council
of Social Science Research (ICSSR), Ministry of Human
Resource Development, Government of India, recognized the
Institute as a ‘Centre of Excellence’ in social
science research in 1976. The Institute is partly funded
by the ICSSR and the Government of Andhra Pradesh.
The Institute is located in a picturesque
greenwood area at Hyderabad in Osmania University Campus.
Over the last 40 years, the Institute has widened the area
of its work. Starting with research, the Institute soon
found itself having to undertake consultancy for PEs and
responding to the training needs of the executives of PEs
and various educational programmes.
The Institute became a pioneer in the field
of computerization, assisting the Government of Andhra
Pradesh and several other states in formulation of
computerization policy, developing software for PEs and
public systems, and on the use of computers as a decision
support system.
The educational
programmes of the Institute have their basic foundation in
the various research, training and consultancy activities
undertaken by the Institute for public and private
organizations/industries over the last four decades. The
programmes are the natural extension of the educational
activities of the Institute from the short term management
education to the long-term one and have lead to vertical
integration of the research function. The insights into
management education began in 1981 with the commencement
of a 3-year part time MBA (PE) programme for practicing
managers. In the year 1995, the Institute started a
two-year full time Post Graduate Diploma in Business
Management (PGDBM), recognized as equivalent to MBA by the
Association of Indian Universities (AIU), to provide
skilled human resources to meet the requirements of the
Industry. Consolidating on the experience and to meet the
needs of the industry, the Institute commenced a two-year
full time Post Graduate Diploma in Marketing and Retail
Management (PGDMRM) in 2007. These courses are recognized
by AICTE. These insights have led to the creation of a
niche for itself in the conduct of the PGDBM course. IPE’s
long association with the Indian industry has been
responsible for its pre-eminent position in the area of
management education.
