Hyderabad, June 21st, 2021: Institute of Management Technology, Hyderabad inaugurated “ABHYUDAY,” the Management Orientation Program for the 11th batch of PGDM students, on the 21st of June, 2021. Abhyuday means a beginning, like a rising sun full of energy representing the students’ dedication and commitment. The ceremony began with the garlanding of Shri. Mahendranath’s Statue. The event proceeded with Prof. Dhananjay Singh extending a warm welcome to the students and commended them for having the courage to take such a huge step in their career in these uncertain times.

Following that, Prof. (Dr.) Sourabh Bhattacharya, Chairperson - Admissions, presented an encapsulated view of the Management Orientation Program. He began by describing the dynamics of the batch in terms of its diversity.

Finally, he explained their contribution in the academic areas and the offices, departments, and other centers.
