Lok Sabha on August 4 passed the Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2023, which entrusts the management accountability of the institutes with the President of India.
The bill, which was introduced on July 28, was passed by the lower House amid disruptions by opposition members over the violence in Manipur.
Replying to a debate of the Bill, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said the government has no intention to interfere with the autonomy of the IIMs.
