The Higher Education Review

In the new world, education has often been seen as just a medium to get a job. It seems like the true goal of education which lies in the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits, has been long forgotten. Striving to offer wholesome education that can nourish the life of the learner on multiple levels is Maharishi Institute of Management (MIM). Maharishi Institute of Management is an autonomous institute that was established in 1995 to provide the future managers of India with the latest principles, practices, and technologies of modern management from around the world. MIM has four campuses in India including Bhopal, Bangalore, Indore, and Greater Noida which provides its students with the unique opportunity to not only learn but also connect with one’s inner self. MIM believes that finding the right purpose for learning is sometimes ambiguous and it’s hard to catalog information for later retrieval and retention. The goal of MIM is to create problem-free management in India through management based on Natural Law so that India can successfully meet the challenges of the globalized economy, maintain cultural integrity, and rise to leadership in the family of nations. The management training at MIM accomplishes these goals by providing not only 'career-oriented' education but also 'life-oriented' education through Maharishi's consciousness-based education system.

Transcending Conventional Education

The central emphasis of the MIMs vision is on ridding the society from sufferings, whether these are management related or otherwise, by re-enlivening the individuals’ intelligence through connecting it to the bountiful and perpetual reservoir of nature's intelligence. MIM supports a progressive and inclusive campus culture that’s creative, dynamic, and focused on making the world a better and more

peaceful place. Adding about the uniqueness of MIM education, Director (Dr.) TPS Kandra, National Coordinator, MIM says, “At MIM, you connect each discipline with your own innermost self. This direct experience makes learning much more relevant and satisfying. We believe that all knowledge emerges from consciousness and at MIM, consciousnessbased education connects everything you learn to the underlying wholeness of life. Each class becomes relevant because the knowledge of that subject is connected with your own inner nature. The MIM approach helps students to see how each field of study can be practically applied towards helping create a better world. Through Transcendental Meditation, MIM students enhance their creativity and learning ability at the same time reducing stress and anxiety.”

Choosing their courses as the medium to impact the lives of their students, MIM offers a plethora of undergraduate and postgraduate courses including, BBA, B.Com, and MBA to name a few. MIM aims to deliver the ‘fruit of all knowledge’ to everyone for the fulfillment of university education including mistakefree, progressive life in enlightenment, and the natural and spontaneous ability to move in the right direction and achievement of laudable goals in life. At MIM the unchanging and omnipresent field of Natural Law is tapped to provide education that is capable of surviving all changes while giving rise to newer and better forces, which is the underlying philosophy knowing that by which everything else is known.

"MIM has been growing leaps and bounds ever since their inception, and the institute has become the favorites of both the students and their parents"

A Unique Higher Education Destination

MIM student-managers are given foundational courses exposing them to the theories, principles and techniques of Vedic management, and Natural Law based management. MIM states that no system of management in the world today is as perfect as the Vedic System of management because existing systems of management derive their policies and procedures from the theories of economy, production, and sales, but they are not fully in accord with all the

laws of Nature that manage the order and evolution of the universe. This is the reason why all the existing systems of management are prone to problems of instability and are unsatisfactory. While many other institutions go for the ‘one fits all approach’, MIM offers a state-of-theart personalized educational curriculum for promoting holistic development of students and faculty members, including many innovative features not found in any other management program.

MIM has been growing leaps and bounds ever since its inception, and the institute has become the favorites of both the students and their parents. The quality of the faculty members has played a huge partin this growth. “Both our faculty and visiting faculty have outstanding academic credentials and extensive practical experience in both business and industry. Regular contact program with senior faculty, industry professionals, and practicing helps our faculty to constantly be ahead of the curve. Extensive industryinstitute interaction and special field visits enable students to observe and evaluate the functioning of awide range of sectoral business and government support programs. Internship in reputed companies in India and the only management training curriculum in the world which offers scientifically validated programs to develop the full potential of the individual helps our students to become successful both in the personal and professional realm”, signs off Director Kandra.
