The All India Board of Technical Studies in Management has set up a Committee under my Chairmanship to assess the requirements of management personnel for the country's development programme in the private and public sectors. The need for post-graduate professional education in management subjects was recognised by the Board sometime ago and it has organised two courses viz. (i) course of study in Business Management and (ii) course of study in Industrial Management, in a few selected institutions. These courses are open to persons working in commercial houses or industrial establishments who are graduates and whop have a minimum of two years requisite experience. Under the scheme prepared by the Board, there is a common Intermediate examination in the following subjects :
1. Growth & Structures of Industry & Commerce 2. Economic Aspects of Industry & Commerce 3. Legal Aspects of Industry & Commerce 4. Psychology 5 Financial Accounting & Evaluation 6. Statistical Method 7. Work Study, Organisation & Evaluation 8. History & Nature of Management
The subjects for the final examination in Business Management am as Under:
1. Management Principles 2. Management Practice 3. The Personnel Function 4. Financial & Higher Control 5. Purchasing Storekeeping & Transportation 6. Sales Organization & Methods 7. Market Research & Sales Promotion 8. International Trade
The subjects for the final examination in Industrial Management an as under:
1 . Management Principles 2. Management Practice 3. The Personnel Function 4. Development & Design 5. Factory Organisation 6. Production Planning & Control 7. Plant layout & Materials Handling 8. Work Study
2. These courses are at present organised on a part-time basis. Facilities for instruction in these are available at the following centres:
1. Delhi University 2. Bombay University 3. Madras University 4. All India Institute of Social Welfare & Business Management, Calcutta
The All India Council for Technical Education,under the recommendation of the Board has also approved the organisation of those courses in the following centres:

30
Government of India are also setting up two institutions of Management one at Calcutta and the other at Ahmedabad, which will provide courses leading to the award of degrees in management subjects.
3. The purpose of the inquiry is to assess the requirements of managerial personnel who may be trained in the theory and practice of management with a view to determine the extent of facilities that should be organised in the country for the training of such personnel. To enable this to be done, it is necessary to have information about the existing managerial personnel in the following fields of management:
1. Technical Management 2. Gneral Management 3. Commercial Management
4. The large majority of the personnel at present in position in your establishment would have had no institutional training in Management subjects but would have acquired the necessary managerial skill from experience. If you hold the view that an institutional postgraduate training in Business Management or Industrial Management would enable the junior members of your present managerial cadre to carry out their duties more efficiently, I shall be glad to have your estimate of the number of such managerial personnel in regard to two or three selected representative concerns under your control. Similar information is also required in respect of staff who may retires shortly and who will have to be replaced and also staff required for the expansion programme, if any, that your establishment may have in view. The requirements assessed by you under these categories should be for the third Plan period and as such an estimate would greatly assist the Committee to determine the overall requirements of Vie country.
5. In paragraph 2 above, I have indicated the existing centres where training facilities in Management subjects are available or are proposed to be made available. Your suggestion as to the additional centres which in your opinion should be organised will also be helpful. To determined the overall norms for the calculation of the managerial personnel, it would assist the Committee if you can indicate the number of employees of all categories In your establishment. I shall also be grateful if you would advise me in regard to the method that you have adopted for making an estimate of the additional managerial personnel needed by your Organisation.
6. I enclose a questionnaire calling for the above information which may kindly be completed at your earliest convenience and forwarded to Shri M. V. D.
