The objective of the MBA (HRD) programme is to provide quality education to highly motivated, bright young men and women so that they can provide professional expertise to business and industry in the area of human resource and organisational development.  

The success and sustenance of every organisation traces back to its most core and prized asset: People! In today’s world, every major corporation that wants to stay competitive and survive in a dynamic and unforgiving global economic environment realises the importance of elevating HR to a position of primacy and power. In the present schema of things, corporate experts in human resource development are among the key personnel needed for corporate strategic planning and control. The MBA (HRD) programme of the Department of Commerce has been designed to cater to the growing needs of industry and business for professionally qualified managers in the area of Human Resource and Organisational Development. In the liberalised framework of the Indian economy, corporate experts in HRD will be amongst the key resource personnel needed for corporate strategic planning and control. Furthermore, existing personnel specialists will need to develop new perspectives in order to cope with the changing role of personnel and industrial relations departments within corporate organisations. The programme has been identified by NHRD and NTPC, among others, as a premier programme in the field of Human Resource. The MBA(HRD) programme combines gruelling academic schedules with proactive efforts to develop new perspectives and a higher level of knowledge and understanding.
