VINOD  GUPTA  SCHOOL  OF  MANAGEMENT   The Vinod Gupta School of Management at IIT Kharagpur was established in 1993, and was the first management school to be set up within the IIT system. It was founded by a distinguished alumnus of the Institute, Mr. Vinod Gupta, whose generous endowment was matched by liberal support from the Government of  India. It was felt that IIT Kharagpur could play a pioneering role in creating management schools within the IIT system and offer unique programmes that would develop managers who would be able to understand and appreciate both the critical technology related issues and their managerial implications. This original and pioneering concept has now been vindicated by the setting up of management schools/ departments in all IITs except one.
