 CHAPTER 1

OVERVIEW OF MANANGEMENT EDUCATION IN INDIA

1.1 GROWTH AND ORIGIN

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 bring 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 Institute of
Management Studies. Based on his recommendations, the Indian government decided to set up
two elite management institutes, named Indian Institutes of Management- Calcutta and
Ahmadabad were chosen as the locations for the two new institutes.
The Institute at Calcutta was established first, on 13 November 1961, and was
named Indian Institute of Management Calcutta or IIM Calcutta. It was set up in collaboration
with the MIT Sloan School of Management, The government of West Bengal, the Ford
Foundation and the Indian industry. The institute at Ahmadabad was established in the following
month and was named Indian Institute of Management Ahmadabad.
In 1972, a committee headed by Ravi J. Matthai took note of the success of two
established IIMs and recommended the setting up of two more IIMs. Based on the committee's
recommendation, a new IIM was established in Bangalore (IIM Bangalore) the next year, and
was originally intended to cater exclusively to the needs of public sector enterprises. Later the
committee proposed the opening of two more IIMs to meet the rising demand of management
professionals. It also recommended the fellowship programmes to meet growing demand of
faculty in management schools in India. The fourth IIM(IIM Lucknow) was established in 1984
based on committee recommendation. Two more IIMs were established in Kozhikode (IIM
Kozhikode) and Indore (IIM Indore) in 1996.

1.2 TYPES OF MANAGEMENT INSTITUTION
Business schools are colleges or institutes, which are conducting courses on business
administration and management. These are either autonomous or could be affiliated to a
university. The performance of a business school is purely based on the quality of education,
faculty, campus placement facility etc. The best of business schools in India contribute excellent
qualified and high quality man power of the corporate sector organizations in India and across
the world. For more than forty years there are Indian and global companies that are being led by
IIM graduates. This clearly shows that importance of excellence in education and faculty of
business schools in India and in particular of the IIMs. Today there are about three thousand five
hundred business schools in the country out of which the IIMs are undoubtedly the leaders
among the top 25 schools. In India there are different formats in which management institutions
are present. The various forms are:
 Indian Institute of management
 Departments of Central Universities
 Department of State Universities
 Departments in Private Universities
 Institutions that are affiliated to a State University
 Deemed University
 Private Institution that offer the PGDM programme.
In all there are over three thousand five hundred such management institutions in India. These
are spread across the length and breadth of the country. Those under the university system are to
be approved by UGC while those that are autonomous need to have AICTE approval.

1.3 ISSUES AND CONCERNS

Management education in India is at the crossroads today. While there are now a large number of
management institutions, the quality of education is under question- There are a handful of about
only 7 percent of MBA graduates from Indian business schools, excluding those from the top 20
schools who get a job straight after completing their course. An ASSOCHAM study blames the
lack of quality control and infrastructure, low-paying jobs through campus placement and poor
faculty as the major reasons behind this situation. The issues that have been identified as pain
points for management education in India can be enumerated as below

Figure 1.1. Issues identified for the management education in India

With a view to tackle these problems the government of India has been taking steps to fund
establishment of centre of excellence for management education. The second wave of IIMs
started in the year 2007 with IIM Shillong.

2.2 POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN MANAGEMENT (PGDM)

2.2.1 It is recommended that IIM Visakhapatnam offers a two year Post Graduate diploma in
Management as its flagship programme. In this regard the programme design will be based on
the trimester pattern comprising of- six trimesters of 10 weeks each- three trimesters in first year
and three in the second year with a provision for a summer internship of eight weeks in the time
period between the two years. This would be in-line with the established PGDM at the already
established and functional at the other IIMs with the approval of the All India council for
technical education New Delhi. This will also have the recognition of the Association of Indian
Universities (AIU) as being equivalent to the MBA offered by the Indian University system.
2.2.2 On the pattern of the other existing IIMs, IIM Visakhapatnam will also offer specialization
in the following streams to its students:
o Marketing Management

11
 o Operations Management
o Accounting and Financial Management
o Human Resource Management
o Strategic Management
o Information Technology Management
Besides the above mentioned specializations, IIM Visakhapatnam may add some other
specializations and sector-specific specializations as per the requirement of the industry as and
when it deems fit.
2.2.3 A long with the regular PGDM mentioned at 2.2.1, IIM Visakhapatnam shall envisage
launching a sector specific PGDM in year 5 of its establishment on one of the following sectors.
 Small Business Management
 Travel and Tourism Management
In order that IIM Visakhapatnam is able to offer a PGDM progamme in a sector-specific
specialization, it is imperative that an appropriate market study be undertaken to ascertain the
specialization that can be built upon. Specialized faculty, resources required to offer such a
specialization and a strong collaborative network of organizations from the sector should be
made to ensure that the sector-specific programme succeeds in offering the best in class
knowledge, skills, attitude that are required to perform in the sector chosen for the sector specific
PGDM.

2.2.4. For the number of students to be admitted each year in PGDM, the table given below
provides the required numbers as per approved intake, planned intake as decided by MHRD,
Government of India in accordance in available resources and facilities. The flagship PGDM was
launched with an approved intake of 140. Against this number actual intake is 48. In the second
batch that commenced in June 2016, the intake has been 49.

launched as and when the institute reaches the required capabilities. However for planning
purpose it has been proposed to be started from A.Y. 4.
2.3.2 Another condition for the FPM to commence is that the library should be equipped with
not just books but there has to be a complete set of electronic journal subscription through:
Elsevier Science, Ebsco-host, pro-quest, JSTOR, Wiley, Blackwell and other renowned
electronic journal providers. Further there should be significant databases available so that
research can be conducted without concern for availability of data and tools for analysis.
2.3.3 The number of seats for an institute scholarship should be 05 in the first year and remain so
for at least four years to ensure the quality of output of the FPM programme is of significant
standard- Entry requirements for such a programme should necessitate at least 3 years of work
experience after B.Tech /MBA/ PGDM/ CA / Masters in any other discipline. Details with

:Management development Centre(MDC) for Management Development Programmes for
professionals from different domains of activity: industry, NGO, government sector companies
and offices.
The MDC will focus its attention on developing and conducting training programmes for
industry professionals, government officials and other sectors that may benefit from inputs on
management related subjects. The prime focus of the Centre will be on middle management
professionals who have spent significant time in the profession and also have a significant time
to contribute to their domain of work. Competence enhancement across both general and specific
competences shall be developed and offered. International tie-ups for the same if required should
be established and joint programmes for a global audience should be assessed and offered.
2.5 RESEARCH & CONFERENCES
2.5.1 Research is an integral part of the activities of an academic institution. Faculty shall be
encouraged to conduct research as a part of their work profile with a high weight age assigned to
it as compared to other academic pursuits. A system of categorizing high quality journals where

15
faculty will be required to publish their research outcome. IIM Visakhapatnam shall develop
centers of excellence on inter disciplinary research cutting across the domains of management
and/ or focusing on specific sectors. To foster research, IIM Visakhapatnam shall organize 'at
least' two conferences each year from year 4 onwards.

their research and prior expertise of the faculty pool, the institute shall encourage faculty
members to engage in advising various organizations by conducting a variety of consulting
activities for them. These may take the form of feasibility studies, assessment studies, developing
perspective plans and advising solutions to practical problems encountered by organizations in
their endeavor to grow and develop into better organizations. These consultative practices can be
across any functional or cross functional domain depending upon the nature of problems
encountered.

2.7 ONLINE INTERACTIVE LEARNING PROGRAMMES FOR EXECUTIVES

2.7.1. The Future generations of professionals will be hard-pressed for time and with technology
becoming all pervasive in our life it becomes imperative to serve this cohort of professionals
who have a strong desire to upgrade skills but their personal conditions do not allow them to
spare time at a stretch for a face to face development intervention. With this background IIM
Visakhapatnam shall offer online training programmes for such executives and for the same shall
establish tie-ups with service providers who have a robust technology set-up and can reach out to
professionals in India and abroad. There are plenty of quality service providers from whom the
institute can select the one that best serves this interest.

 CHAPTER 3

STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN

The proposed strategic action plan of IIM Visakhapatnam should be finalized after appropriate
discussion among the key stakeholders. The involvement of the faculty of the Institute, Director
of the Institute and the Board of Government is paramount. The strategic plan that would emerge
from the approved vision and mission of the institute shall provide for the following chronology
of programme launch.

Figure 3.1: Proposed Chronology of activities

20
 Once the institute has sizeable faculty strength and has started producing substantial
research output only then it should plan for the doctoral programme.
 IIM Visakhapatnam shall commence MDP in the year 2018. The focus of MDP should be
on the MSME sector in terms of capacity building for the sector. Further it should
endeavor to build programmes in line with the sectoral field in which the PGDM will be
launched: Small Business Management and/ or travel and tourism management.
 IIM Visakhapatnam should also focus on catering to the managerial and administrative
training needs of the government of Andhra Pradesh. Initially the concentration should be
on the sectors of importance at national and regional levels. Within a time frame of three
years they should venture into broad range of MDP portfolio catering to the national
market. It is proposed that to foster Management development programmes at IIM
Visakhapatnam can be started soon and then offered at NCR and Visakhapatnam together
or in two phases at both the places.
 The mentor institution plays a huge role on providing the right foundation and direction
to the new institution. The role of IIM Bangalore as the mentor institution currently
involves a role in all activities of IIM Visakhapatnam including 100% in teaching at IIM
Visakhapatnam during 2015-16 and 2016-17. This involvement in teaching should
progressively reduce over the next three years and by the year 2020-21.IIM
Visakhapatnam should attain self-sufficiency in teaching. Over these three years, the role
of IIM Bangalore as a mentor setting the systems and processes and for conducting
faculty development programme for the faculty of IIM Visakhapatnam, collaboration in
developing new electives, new MDPs, case writing and conducting research.
 As mentioned earlier, from the year 2020-21, IIM Visakhapatnam should launch an array
of online certificate courses for industry executives preferably in collaboration with a
leading corporate entity.
 The institute should appoint an Internal Project Management team which in the initial
stage should oversee the campus development projects and subsequently be involved in
Estate Management of the campus.
 The key challenge will be identify and appoint the Director, Deans and Chief
Administrative Officer who would lead, formulate and execute the strategic action plan
for the institute over the next crucial five years.

21
 CHAPTER 4

GOVERNANCE, ORGANISATION STRUCTURE AND EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT

4.1 MODEL OF GOVERNANCE

 IIM Visakhapatnam is a third generation institution among the group of IIMs. On similar
lines as the older members of the IIM institutions, IIM Visakhapatnam is being setup as an
institution financed by the government of India. It would function as an autonomous institute
under the aegis of the Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam Society registered at
Visakhapatnam under the Societies Registration Act. As a registered society, IIM
Visakhapatnam's objective is to impart high quality management education in India. Further,
the society is empowered to award post graduate diploma that is recognized by the All India
Council for technical education and will seek equivalence to a postgraduate degree as and
when it is required. The institute shall enjoy autonomy is all aspects of academics, financial
and administrative functioning.

4.2. PHILOSOPHY OF GOVERNANCE

 The governance structure, systems and processes of IIM Visakhapatnam shall be based on
the following two principles:
 Management must have the executive freedom to drive the institute forward on the path of
excellence without undue restraints, and
 This freedom must be exercised within a framework of effective accountability.
 Emerging from the above core principles, the institute’s governance philosophy will be based
on the following beliefs:
 Respect, accountability and fairness towards all stakeholders.
 Create value for all stakeholders without compromising on ethical principles.
 Empowerment
 Organizational Citizenship
 Transparency: Clear communication of relevant information

22
4.3 STRUCTURE OF GOVERNANCE

 In view of the aforementioned core principles and tenets of the philosophy of governance as
indicated in section 4.2, a three level system of governance and executive management as
depicted below in table is proposed for the institute. This is also in consonance with the
system at the other IIMs.

Level Task Authority

I Strategic Management Level
 Ensuring continuity and growth of
the institution
II Executive Management Level
 Execution of plan
 Coordination and control
III Institute Operations Management
Level
Line function Management
Support function Management
The Board of Governors supported by the
Academic Council and Finance Committee
The Director assisted by the
Deans,
Tasks Heads
Chief Administrative Officer
Chief Accounts and Finance Officer
Task Chairpersons
Academic Area Chairpersons,
Coordinators of Academic Programme &
Officers, assisted by administrative support staff

Table 4.1: Proposed three level system of governance

The above presented system ensures the following:

 The strategic level (Level-l) is free from responsibilities of executive and can focus on
providing direction and plans for the future growth of the institution;
 The executive Level is free from responsibilities of day to day functioning focus on the
execution of plans and the necessitated coordination and control, and
 Operations level is free from responsibilities of executive management of the institute as a
whole and can focus on enhancing the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of individual line
and support operations of the activities of the institute

23
As a consequence of adopting the above three level structure of governance, the roles and
responsibilities of the various authorities of the institute and its key officers are presented in the
ensuing section.

4.4. AUTHORITIES OF THE INSITUTE

In order to carry out the functions of strategic management, a governance structure as illustrated
below and comprising of the following authorities is proposed.

(i) Board of Governors

(ii) The Academic Council
(iii) The finance Committee

24
 CHAPTER 5
SITE

5.1 ESSENTIAL ENABLING INFRASTRUCTURE

In the present situation wherein se are planning a new academic institution where we desire to
attract the best of talent both among faculty and students it becomes Imperative to ensure that a
good quality of life is provided to them. The other factors remaining constant, the single most
important parameter that determines their quality of Life to a great extent is the infrastructure
and space provided to them to pursue their Activities. There are certain initiatives that are
required to be taken so as to enable the required quality of life on campus. Management
education involves a lot of discussions. Group work, meetings and presentations which needs a
lot of open air and closed spaces. The proposed areas are supposed to cater the space requirement
of a Management Institute.

5.2 LAND & LAND DEVELOPMENT

I. IIM Visakhapatnam is proposed to be located in Village Gambheeram, in District

Visakhapatnam where a contiguous piece of land measuring 232 acres is being provided
for housing the academic and residential complex of the Institute.
II. Land development including boundary fencing, leveling, landscaping, internal roads. etc.
for 232 acres of land would be required to be done.

5.3 CONNECTIVITY
The site is contagious to urban area and adjoining the industrial area. The facilities of markets,
offices ,industry, labor and office goers, local public transport, schools, medical aid and civil
defense facilities are in the vicinity. The airport at Vizag is within 33 kms and the Railway
Station too is at a distance of about 36 kms. Connectivity for Wi-Fi connection by fiber optic for
high speed data too can be made available locally and the cost has been provisioned in the
project.

25
5.4 SITE ANALYSIS OF IIM VISAKHAPATNAM

Land Area 232 acres

Land Topography About 34% land is in terrace formation, 57%
land is steep hill and 9% land in valley is fairly
flat.
Land Shape The land is of irregular shape but suitable to
have a campus.
Approach On the outskirts of Vizag, just about 90 mtrs
from National Highway and about 300 mtrs
from state highway and approach by motor
able road.
Vicinity Bounded on one side with industrial area,
behind the steep hill is the National Highway
and the other valley side has forest land and a
big lake.
Flooding The land is well elevated by about 8m from the
nearby lake, not subjected to flooding and well
drained topography.
Cyclonic Impact Due to its micro-topography and elevation,
surrounding hills and location in a valley, the
site is well protected by natural features.
Trees and Vegetation No significant trees and only shrubs.
Table 5.1 Site analysis

The site offers fairly one large area of land which are suitable for construction of the Campus.
The site is approached from the all-weather motor able road adjacent to motor vehicle driving
track of Andhra Pradesh Government under the control of the Regional Tpt Authority.

 Water and Electricity System:

The land is outside the municipal limits and the municipal authority officials have
assured that raw water supply shall be specially supplied- However, the water from the lake shall
26
be sourced and pumped to the site. The pumping station and the water treatment plant has been
provided in the project cost.
The electrical sub-station for the industrial area is within 3 kms of the site and the local authority
shall be able to provide the high tension supply to the proposed sub-station in the IIM Campus.
 Implementation & Transit Facilities:
The master plan of this residential campus calls for a compact configuration so that the
connectivity within the academic group of buildings addresses shortest pedestrian movement-
caters to outdoor spaces for informal interaction and discussions and the library functions as a
resource centre. Essentially, the institutional campus comprises of four major groups of activities
& services:
 Academic
 Residential
 Recreational
 Engineering & Communication Services

5.4.1 EARTHQUAKE & DISASTER MITIGATION:

The campus buildings shall be placed on the site, so that the natural hills shield the buildings
from cyclonic conditions. The steep slopes of the hills need a sensitive approach to conservation
and development of flora. drainage and risk mitigation.
The entire campus must develop its disaster management plan and mitigate the risk to life and
property due to local cyclones. The cyclones cause lot of destruction and the dependency of local
inhabitants on the secured or functional infrastructure becomes essential for temporary shelters.
A risk management plan in consultation with National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA)
is thus essential.
 Design Consideration for Barrier Free Design
The person with Disability Act, 1995 mandates that persons with disabilities be provided
with equal opportunities and protects their rights to full participation. This, therefore,
requires that spaces be designed to suit the needs of all persons with disabilities. Also,
Model Building Bye Laws, 2015 mandate that barrier free environments are maintained
to ensure inclusive cities and universal designs. These guidelines will apply to all public
buildings in India, including the buildings where access is open to general public. The

27
 guidelines and specifications deal with access to, movement within and around buildings,
by Persons with Disabilities and elderly persons. The intent is to make buildings and
facilities accessible to and usable by all people including those living with disabilities and
may include those with inability to walk or difficulty in walking, reliance on
walking/mobility aids, blindness and visual impairments, speech and hearing
impairments, limited coordination of motor movements, reaching and manipulation, lack
of stamina, difficulty in interpretation and reacting to sensory information and extremities
of physical size.

Each of the building should be provided with the following facilities:

 All teaching, administrative and common areas should be accessible to Persons with
Disabilities interns to lift staircase ramp etc.
 Arrangements for wheelchairs used by means of ramps/lift should be made for stepped
lecture halls or auditoriums.
 All recreational facilities should be usable by Persons with Disabilities Colleges for
physical education,
 Full physical abilities should also be made accessible for administrative staff members,
employees and visitors with disabilities.
 In all blocks at least one unisex accessible washroom/ toilet should be provided. In multi-
level buildings all floors should have one such facility near the general washrooms.

Lawn or landscaping area should be provided with following facilities:

 Walks should be smooth, hard and have leveled surface suitable for walking and
wheeling. Irregular surfaces as cobble stones coarsely exposed aggregate concrete,
bricks, etc. often cause bumpy rides and should be avoided.
 Minimum walk way width for two way traffic should be 1800 mm.However, in
exceptional cases (such as around trees/poles etc.); the width could be 1500 mm.
 The walkway should not have a gradient exceeding 1:20. It also refers to cross slope.
 When walks exceed 60 meter in length it is desirable to provide rest are adjacent to
the walk at convenient intervals of 30 meter for bench/ resting seats. For comfort, seat

28
 height should be between 450 mm- 500 mm, have a backrest and hand rests at 700
mm height.
 Texture change should be provided for persons with vision impairment in walkways
adjacent to seating by means of warming tactile pavers.
 Avoid gratings and manholes in walks.

UTILITIES
The requirement of Utilities to meet the needs of the Institute is indicated hereunder:
7.1 WATER SUPPLY
It is estimated that in a framework of 5 years on completion of its first phase of
development the Institute would need to arrange supply of fresh water to the tune of 2.5
MGD to cater to the needs of around 4460 persons (refer the calculation in following
table).Since the Institute is to be established in a rural area it would not be able to draw
upon municipal supply of treated fresh water but would need to draw from a network of
tube wells on the campus to meet its requirement of fresh water. There would thus be
need to provide water treatment facilities besides underground and overhead storage
tanks plus a pumping system & a distribution network to supply the water to the users. It
would also need to have a system in place for daily monitoring of water quality.

7.2 ELECTRIC SUPPLY
 It is estimated that in a framework of 5 years on completion of its first phase of
development the Institute would need to make arrangement to procure around 3.2
MW of power through a dedicated 33 KVA double circuit line from the nearest
sub-station of the State Electricity Board to a 33 KVA sub-station on the Institute
campus. Thereafter step-down to 220 volts and distribution to various campus
sites would have to be arranged internally.
 It is also proposed that in addition a power turbine generating plant of 1.5 MW
capacities should be installed on-campus as a stand-by source of power. It is also
suggested that the Institute should explore the possibility of solar power
generation.
 In order to conserve energy resources the principles of solar passive architecture
must be explored to minimize thermal comfort within buildings. In addition the
possibility of installing a system for Geo-thermal (earth air) cooling to minimize
the use of air conditioning may be explored.

CASE STUDY
9.1 LITERATURE CASE STUDY
9.1.1 IIM KANPUR

INTRODUCTION:
The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (also known as IIT Kanpur or IITK) is a public
engineering institution located in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. Established in 1959 as one of the
first Indian institute of technology, the institute was created with the assistance of the consortium
of nine U.S research universities as part of the Kanpur ino-American program. This land was
gifted by the government of Uttar Pradesh in 1960 and by march 1963, the institute moved to its
new location.
Establishment—1959
Location—Gt Road, Kalyanpur, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India
Site Area—1055 Acres (9.5 Kms)
Ownership—Autonomous Body Under Central Government
Architect—Achyut Kanvinde
Approach—The Approach Is Through Sitapur
Surroundings—Cpwd Staff Colony, Devi Sahai Nagar, Nankari Area, Gooba
Topography—Flat Land
No. Of Buildings—108

OBJECTIVE OF CASE STUDY:

To study campus planning and circulation.

MACRO-CLIMATE:
Composite climate, average maximum temperature is 33.9 0C and average minimum temperature
is 19.60C.
The average annual rainfall is about 959.6mm.
Prevailing wind direction is from South-West.
The average annual relative humidity is 41.08%

50
MICRO-CLIMATE:
In comparison with the main city the temperature is 4 0C lesser as the campus buildings are
climate responsive.

ENTANCES:
There are several entrances into the site but the main entrance to the campus is from the east
through the grand trunk road.

SITE ZONING:
The campus is divided broadly into three parts:
 Academic complex – this is centrally located and all other activities are planned around
it.
 Hostel blocks (hall of residences) - hostel blocks are present on the south-western part of
campus with a total of 12 residence halls (10 boys hostel & 2 girls hostel)
 Faculty and staff residences - these are located on north-eastern and south-eastern parts of
the campus.

USER GROUP AND ACTIVITIES:

Students-- 7000
Faculty-- 650
Working staff- 900
 Daytime activities are concentrated on academic and administration zones. Activities
tend to flow between classroom, library, canteens and student bocks.
 Nighttime activities shift to libraries, hostel blocks, courtyards, sac and to academic block
as students tend to study in the labs, classes and reading rooms of the department.

FUNCTIONAL PLANNING:
The old idea of separating activities by departmental divisions was discarded and planning by
function, rather than by discipline, controls the development of the campus. Hence the

51
curriculum was designed to evoke interaction between students and teachers in different
disciplines.

CIRCULATION:
 Circulation is through pedestrian, vehicular and students inside the campus use cycles.
 Pedestrian and vehicular traffic are completely segregated to keep academic are away
from noise, traffic and conflict.
 There is one major road running east-west from the centre of the campus which is called
main drive. All the sub-roads which are perpendicular to the main drive are known as
avenues and all the sub-sub-roads which are perpendicular to the avenues are called as
streets.
PLANNING OF PHILOSOPHY:
The intent of the IITK campus is to establish parameters that provide inevitable growth in a
planned and orderly manner so as to maximize benefits and minimize impacts, ensuring that the
next decade of development proceeds within a coherent framework and in orderly manner.
Following are the strategies which steered the planning process:
 Integrate present and future needs and build the existing fabric sensitively.
 Promote a pedestrian friendly campus.
 Maintain identity of campus neighborhoods and promote sense of community.
 Maintain the green character of the campus.
 Build in an environmentally responsible manner.

WATER SUPPLY:
The campus have provided with centralized water distribution system lain on a gridiron network.
The supply of groundwater is through a series of deep bore-wells which pump directly in the grid
all the time.
In addition, the campus has been approved with 4 overhead water reservoirs located around the
campus.

52
AMENITIES:
The whole campus is equipped with all kinds of facilities starting from food outlets, juice
centers, ATM’S, health centre, bus stand, school for children of staffs and faculties, vegetable
market, shopping complex, public washrooms and other day-to-day needs. These amenities are
scattered all over campus at various locations.

CONCEPT AND IDEOLOGY:

 Institute academic areas comprises academic buildings and facilities including 13
departments, PK KELKAR library, computer centre, national wind tunnel facility and
SIDBI innovation and incubation centre.
It also houses faulty offices, laboratories and administrative buildings.
 The academic area is well connected by a long corridor which links all major buildings.
 The academic area is set up in vicinity of hostels to provide quick accessibility to
students.
 Halls of residence, faculty and staff houses are community buildings surrounding the
central academic area to provide flexibility in movement and communication.
 Core pedestrian island which consist of lecture halls surrounded by landscapes and water
bodies forming the focus of the campus.
 Conventional type buildings were designed as isolated departments.
 The residential campus is planned and landscaped with a hope for environmental
freedom.
 Activities which students and faculties are designed to encourage meeting and interaction
in academic area.
 Architect believed that a grid of columns forming a matrix giving structural and spatial
aspect would turn a design to be more sophisticated and faceted.

To encourage meeting and interaction among students and faculty, al activities in IITK campus
are grouped around lecture halls, library, faculty buildings and laboratories, while other
specialized services are organized and planned as decentralized activities and are connected by
the walkway.

53
ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER:
 The bauhaus influence in kanvinde’s style is clearly visible in the buildings of iit kanpur -
cubic shapes, smooth, flat plain, undecorated surfaces, complete elimination of all
moldings and ornament and flat roof.
 In retrospect, the style shows a remarkable similarity with the brute morphology of
vernacular architecture in parts of India.
 Expressed concrete structure in combination with brick became the dynamic determinant
of form and order.
 Kanvinde’s expressive architecture was variously interpreted as “an architectural
expression that reflected the culture and aspirations”.
 Visual expression of the structure rather than hiding its structural components.
 Kanvinde strongly believed that the elevation of a structure should be defined by the
functions inside.

MATERIAL AND FINISHES:

 The buildings are harmonious in character, utilizing exposed concrete frames and locally
available exposed red brick walls.
 Granular finish is given on the exterior facade of the buildings.
 Paints are used as finish in the interior walls.

STRUCTURE:
 In Kanpur, the local availability of high quality brick and the prevalent labor and
construction practices made Kanvinde for reinforced concrete for structural frames and
brick as infill’s.
 Reinforced concrete post-and-slab construction, with a series of flat slab-floors and a flat
roof-slab carried on concrete columns or posts bricks.
 Use of coffer slabs to support larger spans without columns and have good aesthetic
value.

54
MAIN COMPLEX:
The main complex consists of faculty building, PK KELKAR library, labs, lecture halls, hostel
buildings, student activity centre, oat and faculty and staff residences.

ACADEMIC AREA:
Academic area comprises of department buildings and facilities including the lecture halls, PK
KELKAR library, computer centre, national wind tunnel facility and SIDBI innovation and
incubation centre.

It also houses faculty offices, laboratories and administrative buildings. Interactive spaces are
provided at certain locations inside academic core where students can relax, study or have
discussions with each other, also there are several food joints which are open 24 hrs. Academic
core remains active during day as well as during night.

P.K.KELKAR LIBRARY:
The library was established in 1960 as central library which was then renamed as P.K.KELKAR
library in 2002 after the founding director of IIT Kanpur Purshottam Kashinath Kelkar. It has
man-made water body in the front which is used as a landscaping element.

 Second Floor- 2700 Sq.m

KEY FEATURES:
 Exposed brickwork: reduces maintenance costs and enhances aesthetic appeal
 The library forms an important part of the whole complex.
 It is a framed structure based on grid
 The whole building is built in R.C.C with a brick facade.

55
RESIDENTIAL AREA:
 Each hall of residence has certain features such as capacity - 500 to 600, hostel rooms
along with guest houses, mess, canteen along with internal and external sitting area,
reading room, office, photocopy shop, TV room, cycle parking, cycle gas station, playing
field and check post.
 The residential campus is planned and landscaped with a hope for environmental
freedom.
 Halls of residence, faculty and staff houses and community buildings surround the central
academic area to provide flexibility in movement and communication.

STUDENT ACTIVITY CENTRE:

New student activities centre(new sac) is main centre for all student activities. It provides various
facilities to residents of IIT Kanpur including sports complex, open air theatre, offices of student
gymkhana representatives, different shops etc. It is fully equipped with modern architecture and
one of the main attraction at IIT Kanpur campus.

GENERAL INFERENCES:
 Activities which students and faculties share should be designed to encourage meeting
and interaction.
 Designs should be built with a large amount of thought having been given to making
them functionally efficient and practically feasible.
 Academic core should be placed in such a way to that it is easily accessible by students
and faculties.
 Each hostel should have their separate mess to serve larger number of students.
 By making buildings climate responsive and using environment friendly technically can
reduce energy consumption.
 Similar kind of amenities should be scattered and located at several locations so that it
can be easily accessible by all.
 Use of locally available material in construction should be encouraged.

56
DRAWBACKS:
 Though IIT Kanpur is a cycle friendly campus but no proper allocation of cycle lanes are
given on the road.
 Also, it is a pedestrian friendly campus but it doesn’t work accordingly.

9.1.2 IIM UDAIPUR

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) were created by the Indian government with the aim
of identifying the brightest intellectual talent available the student community of India and
training it in the best management techniques available in the world.

SITE & CAMPUS PLANNING:ITS POTENTIALS AND LIMITATIONS:

Udaipur is known as the city of lakes mainly because of its picturesque location of the palaces
and Havel is along the shore of lake Pichola. However the lakes don’t only add to the beauty of
the city: the area being arid, they are essential for its survival. For hundreds of years these man-
made lakes been the lifelines of Udaipur. The city’s foundries were aware of the importance of
water and the necessity of collecting it during the monsoons and storing it to sustain the city
during dry seasons. The water security became a major focus of the development of the city. The
architectural design of the island palaces maximizes on the climatic advantage bestowed by the
lake: The courtyards, terraces, verandas, pavilions and chati ris are the built forms ideally suited
to optimize the cool breeze. These built forms have become the organizing principles for
architectural design in the region because of the way they have responded to the environment
and the socio-cultural living patterns. Taking lessons from the historic development of the city of

57
Udaipur, water and its catchment and storage in lakes were the focus of this proposal from IIM
Udaipur campus.

MASTER PLAN:
The e-master plan proposes to utilize the western part for the first phase of the campus. A series
of dams in the heart of the land’s western part is forming cascading lakes, which become the
focus point of the campus. All academic and administrative buildings are built around these big
water bodies. The student housing and the faculty residences are clustered around it. The local
land area being 299 acres, the footprint of the entire built form amounts to only 15.5 acres which
is 5.3% of the total land area.
The eastern part of the site is kept as is to form a buffer and the master plan proposes to use it as
a resource for the campus. Over the next few years this fertile land: lacking water and currently
barren, will be transformed into usable land with rich biodiversity. Planed with dense groves of
orchards and fields it can help to achieve food security. making life on the campus truly self-
sustaining.

STUDENTS HOUSING:
With an emphasis at mitigating the predominantly hot climate of Rajasthan, students are housed
in clusters of low rise courtyards houses. They are of a rather small grain and follow the terrain.
Much like villages are clustered below and around the palaces and forts of Rajasthan. They form
a strong contrast to the academic buildings and are made out of local materials using local skills.
One housing unit accommodates 20 to 28 students in single rooms. Clustering in two to three
stories around small courts and verandahs. Besides creating a cooler micro climate and
increasing the comfort areas with table tennis.

ACADEMIC BLOCK:
In the main focus point of the academic block are the central lakes. All academic and
administration buildings are clustered around them, with their circulation and common areas
stretched along the cascading pools of water. And it is more than a mere visual connection. All
class rooms, faculty rooms and administrative spaces will benefit climatically, allowing the
breeze, which has been cooled by the water, to flow through. Two buildings of the academic

58
block form bridges, providing comfortable connections across the valley to the various parts of
the campus. Being main nodal points for the movement through the campus the heads of the
bridges are anticipated to be active hubs of the campus. The e main common facilities and the
library are located over here. On side of the students’ housing the bridge connects to a large
chowk. Which is surrounded by the dining hall, shops and the large amphitheatre, steeping down
to the water.
Common rooms and lounges with television and such the height of 9 to 12 meters allows the
housing to remain within the ambit of the trees, a quality that helps in controlling the severe
climate.10-15 student houses form a main cluster, which is linked to a shared open space with
provisions for canteen facilities. Recreational facilities, outdoor sports fields and a large
amphitheatre are woven into the fabric of the hostel clusters. despite the low-rise arrangement
used. The density achieved can compete with that of standard hostel typologies.

CONCEPT OLD CAMPUS:

The American architect Louis I .Kahn conceived the design as a blend of austerity and majesty.
He included spaces for causal interaction while achieving a balance between modernity and
tradition that captured the spirit of timeless India. The board airy corridors, the amphitheatre like
classrooms and transition spaces in the complex enhance interaction among the faculty, students
and visitors.

NEW CAMPUS:
This independent campus makes references to the orginal campus designed by Louis Kahn, with
which it also provides continuities.
Learning and living in the new campus are successfully integrated, just like on Kahn’s campus,
and the focus is on circulation through elevated corridors, used as principal ordering devices.

SPACE HIERARCHY:

SITE CIRCULATION:

 Circulation pattern of the campus is mainly pedestrian with vehicular movement limited
till the entry point and to the residential area.

61
  The whole campus can be traversed in to minutes.
 The circulation within the campus is through 3 major roads, peripheral, internal and
smaller internal.
 Institutional complex and residential areas have separate access through the main road.

ORIENTATION:

 The overall plan is maintained through the course of design, addressing local climate by
planning the classrooms, library, dining hall and faculty housing forming an l-shaped
edge.
 Wind from south west crosses from all the dorms.
 The orientation helps cut out west sun reducing glare.

SITE ZONING:

The campus is divided into two parts.

 Academic complex- academic complex comprised of library, administration block,
faculty block, seminar rooms, syndicate rooms dormitories, Klmdc and auditorium.
 Residential complex for students, faculty and clerical staff houses. Kahn integrated living
and learning spaces within a walk able distance to make easy circulation for students as
they have a busy schedule.
FORM AND MASSING:

 All blocks are rectangular and simple in plan .To break the monotony of the built mass,
large circular openings have been provided.
 Whole corridors are made up of bricks, due to which whole campus is looks like
monolithic structure.
 L.I.K wanted to create a ‘fortress in brick’. While giving the building a solid and formal
look.

MAIN COMPLEX:

 The main complex consist of the teaching wing on the southern side, faculty and
administration offices on north, library to the east and dining hall to the west.

62
  Enclosed on three sided by this complex is the L.I.K. plaza.
 In the northwest corner of the main complex is the service tower.

GENERAL INFERENCES:
 Hierarchy is based on function and all the blocks are kept at walk able distances from the
academic complex.

69
  Natural elements like sunlight and wind affect and regulate the layout of the campus.
 Interactive spaces are important in an institute; hence numerous interactive spaces should
be designed.
 A campus centre can create interest and focus in a campus. Interesting spaces can be
created by playing with scale.
 Entrance for residential area is different to keep formal and informal crowd separate.
 Plantations and the distance from the main roads cut off the noise pollution.
 Faculty offices should be kept separate from classrooms to avoid unnecessary
disturbance, but should have a good connection with the teaching wing.
 Local material should be used for construction purpose.
 Canteen and auditorium should be well connected to provide food services at the time of
events.

DRAWBACKS:
 Concrete used in the new campus is not climate responsive.

TELEVISION , JOURNALISM , SOCIOLOGY AND PUBLIC POLICY .

USER PROFILE ACTIVITIES :

 Students
 Staffs: security staffs (guards) , maintenance staff, administrative staff, food joint workers
 Faculty : permanent and temporary
 Guest and visitors

PLANNING APPROACH:

The ideology of minimum alteration of the original topography. Leads to the twists and turns of
the block with the contours of the rolling ground. Thus the otherwise compact planning is eased
stretched out with the careful programming of the day-today activities in the university, thus
achieving a reduction in add-on landscaping, and water requirements.

CIRCULATION AND CONNECTIVITY:

 The circulation inside the campus is mainly pedestrian with vehicular movement
restricted along the boundary of the campus . hence the internal and external circulation
doesn’t hamper each other .
 Though site is contoured but it is planned in such a way that you don’t feel exhausted
while walking across the campus .
 Academic spine is the central north-south axis around which is the entire campus is built
it houses and connects the entire academic infrastructure with differently styled
classroom , studios , labs , arts centers conference rooms and faculty and administration
offices.
 All other activities are planned around academic block like residences , library, dining
hall and sports for better accessibility and proximity .

ENTRANCES :

78
There is only one entrance to the site .The main entrance to the flame campus stands as a symbol
of its defining architecture and its history. It has a security cabin where visitors are checked in
and out.

SITE ZONING:

Number of buildings: 38

Height limits: max height 14.94 m

Setbacks: Min 6 m Max 25 m

Fsi: Permissible (0.6)42000 sq.m proposed (0.58)

40433.06 sq.m

Ground clearance: permissible -33%(23100.68 sq.m)

Proposed: 20.5%(14368.12 sqm)

The campus is broadly divided into four groups:

PART 1:Comprises of library dining hall food /-joints and kind where all informal activities take
place.

PART 2: Includes a academic block along with admin and studios.

PART 3: Is dedicated for sports activities

PART 4: Has residential facilities for faculty , staff and students .

CONCEPT AND PHILOSOPHY:

The conceptualization of this university is to create a place aimed at establishing the relationship
of students with life all around them.

This educational institute believes that a the process of learning extends far beyond the
classrooms . into encounters of nature :people and life .

79
ORIENTATIONS:

The classrooms , laboratories , faculty rooms , performing arts visual arts studio and recording
studio play a part in the making of the ‘spine’. Orientation of the spine along the north-south
direction keeps a major part in the shades. Creating cool spaces of repose in the hot tropical sun
during the day .the silhouette of shadows along. The spine creates interesting pattern to behold.

SCALE, FORM AND MASSING:

As one wanders along spine , the spatial variation in terms of their constriction , enclosures , and
framing of nature , makes one realize the connection of the ‘beyond’. The spine merges of the
university plaza and it becomes the loci of coupled activities and the plaza grows up to the
rooftops of library. Dining hall , reception and administration . through grand stairs and a bridge .
thus the three dimensional ordering of spaces along the spine culminates in the plaza . creating
the feeling of expensiveness and limitless in the learner .this plaza is linked to the upcoming
town center thereby achieving a perfect blend of university and community .

MATERIAL AND FINISHES :

Exposed concrete, granular texture and stone cladding used as a finish for walls in the whole
campus. Wooden flooring with tiles in class rooms RCC structure with brick walls closely
parallel running beams.

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL CIRCULATIONS:

Vertical-elevators, dog legged stair case and ramps. Horizontal –semi open corridors, lobbies and
atriums

This library has a wedge-like profile, with a sloping ramp that connects the plaza to the cafe and
the bookstore on one side, and a shaded area and water body on the other.

The library cafe and the lounge at the ground floor provide ample avenues and the option for
causal discussion, refreshment, breaks and relaxations. The reading lobby can also be accessed
from oat offer opening hours .hence the entire building can be thought of as 3 buildings: the
central main library , the internet centre, the reading lobby .inside there is spacious reading
atrium is illuminated by an array of skylights. It can accommodation around 150 people and is
naturally ventilated. It is built in such a way to create stack effect which allows the breeze from
the south to get cooled by the water body .circulate through the entire space and eventually rise
and exhaust through force ventilation fans installed on roof.

ACOUSTICS:

Wooden panel and acoustic panel use glass wool in walls of classrooms. The room shapes are
designed acoustically

LIGHTING AND VENTILATION:

All the lecture halls, library, offices and studios were mechanically ventilated. This opening was
there in all block for daylights to enter into the classrooms. These thin windows were open able
in case of emergency skylights were present in the ceiling to get day lights French windows were
installed in the hostels.

81
LANDSCAPING:

Artificial reservoir act as a focal point and gives serenity in the campus .vegetation on the
campus is abundant , shrub of plumeria obtusa are present all along the pathways whose
beautiful white flowers make the campus look beautiful as well as its fragrance freshens up the
mood . bamboo are also present and lawn grass used in gardens and lawns .breathing green
pockets are situated in between the blocks in academic area. Flame plaza comprises of wooden
rafters along with concrete being used on floor with inverted L-shaped wooden sitting . also
fountain marks the entrance of plaza .oats are created throughout the campus an allow informal
interactions . Others outdoor furniture include wooden sitting, concrete sitting and stone sitting
sustainable landscape planning. Various gardens with different concepts are present in the
campus.

Butterfly garden

Nakshatra garden

Flower valley

INFERENCE:

POSITIVE POINTS:

 Spaces for informal interaction like oats, small seating in open etc . is a must to
encourage social learning in a liberal arts institute and the should be in large numbers
because learning should not be limited to classrooms only .
 The planning should be such that all the main building blocks are at a convenient walk
able distance for the students. Building should be oriented climatically to maximize
daylight and comfort.
 Areas which are used more should be centrally located like academic area, library sand
canteen.
 Library should have a formal space for private reading and an informal spaces for
discussion

82
  Dining should be placed near the academic area so that it is easily accessible for students.
Residential area should be should be separated from academic block but connectivity
should also be there.
 Areas which require privacy like residential should have buffer spaces between the
circulation spaces and the rooms.
 Signs and signage are important to guide people
 Sustainable planning should be encouraged.

NEGATIVE POINTS:

 Very less natural lighting n classrooms.

 Unwise use of construction materials.

10.4 REASON FOR SELECTION OF CHILLED WATER BASED AIR CONDITIONING
Since the number of students is fixed, all the rooms having full occupancy is not possible
hence high diversity is available.Since the academic /administration areas and hostels operate at
completely different time of the day. The same AC plant can be used for both areas, hence the
total capacity of chiller become almost half.
10.5 SOURCE OF WATER
Since municipal water supply may not be expected to fulfill the entire requirement, it is proposed
to meet the total water requirement for the campus by other source/external supply such as bore
well etc. However, it is also proposed to design a sewage treatment plant in such a way that
effluent can be recycled completely.

84
  STORAGE:
Considering minimum requirement of storage for 1 day in the underground tanks (excluding for
flushing and horticulture purpose), the capacity in underground tanks shall be as follows:
 WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM :
The water from the sources will be brought into compartment No. 1 & 2, which will serve
exclusively as a static water storage tank for firefighting purposes and shall be of the capacity
200 cum for Building. The water from this tank shall overflow into compartment No. 3 and will
act as raw water tank. The water from this tank shall be taken for treatment through filtration and
disinfection units and then stored in Domestic water compartment No. 4. Softening shall be done
for water requirement HVAC. Hydro-pneumatic system shall be installed for filling the overhead
tanks on the terraces of the residential area, administrative, academic block and other
buildings from where water will be provided by gravity to all the floors. Similar System will be
followed for flushing water supplies from the treated water tank at the STP.50% hot water
demand of hostels will be met from solar heating system.

10.6 SEWERAGE SYSTEM

Soil waste from water closets etc. will be collected by horizontal and vertical soil pipes and
discharged directly to the manholes. Waste water from wash basins, sinks, and from other waste
fixtures shall be collected separately by waste pipes and be discharged through gully traps into
the manhole of the external sewerage system. The external sewerage system shall be running
around the building periphery having manholes in front of each shaft. The main sewer line will
carry the whole sewage by gravity up to the STP.
(a) Sewerage Pipes
In the external sewerage double wall corrugated (DWC) HDPE pipes IS code: 14930 are used
.SFRC Manhole cover is used in the sewerage and storm water man hole.
(b) External storm water

10.14 ENERGY DEMAND VS SUPPLY
ENERGY CONCEPT FOR THE OVERALL SITE
The campus energy system is designed to maximize energy efficiency and renewable energy use
in order to reduce the use of conventional electricity grid as a backup. The renewable energy
systems are sized such that the campus will be a net producer of energy and will give back
renewable energy to the electricity grid. The overall energy balance and renewable energy
integration will vary as the buildings and infrastructure on the campus are added.
RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
Rooftop PV: The master plan proposes approx.11150sq.m.of roof top available for solar PV
installation (out of the 18500sq.m. total rooftop area available) solar in the phase-I of the project.
A simple and scalable technology with high efficiency (7.5 sq.m./kWp) will be deployed on all
the suitable rooftops. The rooftop solar will feed the buildings directly and the surplus will be fed
to the campus grid. Approx. 1450Kwp can be generated from solar PV in phase-I.
10.15 INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR BUILDING DESIGN :
 The plan ensures zero discharge of waste water.
 On site preservation of rainwater and solar energy.
