Centre for Environmental Studies

IIM Mumbai, being an institute of national repute, with a unique course dealing with environmental issues, would like to take the lead and create research focus in the area of environmental management and sustainability. This is the context in which the "Centre for Environmental Studies" was initiated at IIM Mumbai. Beneficiaries of the Centre will be students, industries, government, international agencies, academia, NGOs and society at large. Focus of the centre is Research.

CES was started in November 2009 with focus on research in three areas (Ecosystem management, Business and sustainable development and Environmental policy), 18 objectives and recruitment of 2 M.Sc. research staff and 1 secretary. The Board approved CES for 10 years (129th Board meeting on 24.8.2009, item 129B.3). Financial outlay of 2.5 crore was requested and approved for the first 5 years. The Centre identified 3 key stakeholders: the environment, industry and government and objectives were framed for each stakeholder. CES has 3 staff employed at post graduate and graduate level.
