Built with the stewardship of India’s top public sector leaders, MDIM’s mission is to serve the social, economic, and professional growth of the eastern and northeastern regions through globally benchmarked management education. The campus was inaugurated by Bharat Ratna Shri Pranab Mukherjee, a testament to MDIM’s national stature and aspiration.

It maintains prestigious memberships with AMDISA (till 2029) and several global B-school alliances.
