Ninth Annual Convocation Held at IIM Kozhikode

The Ninth Annual Convocation of IIM Kozhikode was held on Saturday, March 17th, 2007. After two years of hectic and grueling academic schedule, 156 members of the class of 2007 were awarded the Post Graduate Diploma in Management by the Chief Guest, Shri Hari Shankar Singhania, President of the J. K. Organization.

The Director, Prof. Krishna Kumar, in his keynote address welcomed the guests and spoke about phenomenal improvements that have taken place in the institute over the last year. Commending the batch on their excellent placements, he said that they were a testimony to the industry's belief in IIMK's growing stature. The introduction of the doctoral programme this year is another step in the institute's meteoric rise. The FPM course will go a long way in making IIMK a hub for quality research.

The occasion was also graced by the presence of the institute chairman, Dr. A. C. Muthiah, who is also the Chairman of SPIC. In his address, he congratulated all the graduating students and said that each one of them was extraordinary. While one machine, he said, can replace fifty ordinary men, no machine can replace an extraordinary man. With such talent around, he said, the increase in the number of foreign universities participating in the exchange program was unsurprising.
