Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management (IISWBM), established in 1953, was the first management education institute set up in India. The then Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru laid the foundation stone and Dr. B. C. Roy, Chief Minister of West Bengal, was the founder President of the Institute. The Institute offers regular courses in MBA-Public Systems (MBA-PS) with specialization in Energy Management, along with three other specializations as well as other regular courses.
To meet Govt. of India's ambitious target of addition 175 GW from renewable within 2022 there is a huge requirement of skilled manpower. Solar and Wind technology is expected to add approximately 85,000 full time direct Renewable energy jobs and over 3.3 million job in related sectors. There will also be a huge manpower requirement in Energy Efficiency & Analytics, Green Building, Power Trading, Smart Grid and Electric Vehicle in near future other than Energy Intensive Process Industries, Power Plant etc. At IISWBM, the Energy Management course calls for all round development of the participating students. The department thus focuses on the following areas:
The Institute, apart from an excellent faculty, has state-of-the-art facilities like Energy Laboratory, Cyber Lab and Digital Library. IISWBM has collaborated, for value addition to the courses, with some of the leading international business schools, such as, University of Memphis, Desales University, The World Resource Institute (Washington) in U.S.A., The HNU University of Applied Sciences, Stuttgart Institute of Management & Technology, Fraunhoffer Institute in Germany, University of Cambridge and Coventry University in UK and Association of Energy Engineers in U.S.A (Refer https://www.aeecenter.org). The Institute, in 2001, started Energy Club, first of its kind, to provide a common platform to Industry and Academia for sharing the best practices and accelerate the efficient use of energy as well as productive use of renewable energy.
