History

• After India became independent in 1947,
  the Planning Commission was entrusted to oversee
  and direct the development of the nation. India
  grew rapidly in the 1950s, and in the late 1950s
  the Commission started facing difficulties in
  finding suitable managers for the large number
  of public sector enterprises that were being
  established in India as a part of its industrial
  policy. To solve this problem, the Planning
  Commission in 1959 invited Professor George
  Robbins of the University of California to help
  in setting up an all India level institute of
  management studies. Based on his recommendations,
  the Indian government decided to set up two elite
  management institutes, named Indian Institutes of
  Management.
• Indian Institute of Management Calcutta was the
  first of these IIMs, and was established on 13
  November 1961 in collaboration with the MIT Sloan
  School of Management, the government of West
  Bengal, the Ford Foundation and the Indian
  industry. Its first Director was K. T. Chandy,
  the former Chairman of Hindustan Unilever
  Limited. During the initial years of IIM
  Calcutta, several renowned academics and
  visionaries formed part of its core team,
  including Paul Samuelson, Jagdish Sheth, J K
  Sengupta, Peter S King, and Thomas Hill.
