[edit] History
The Institute of Public Enterprise (IPE) was established in 1964 for the study of issues and policies relating to public enterprises (PEs). S S Khera, ICS, the Cabinet Secretary, Government of India, had conceived the idea of a research institution that would undertake a systematic and sustained study of issues relevant to the formulation of policies towards public enterprises. In the early sixties, when PEs were designed as the principal instrument to serve the social and economic objectives of development, Khera felt a need for an institute which would collect relevant information and documents on PEs, study specific issues and undertake consultancy and training exclusively for PEs. Dr. V.V. Ramanadham, professor and head of the Department of Commerce, Osmania University, translated Khera's concept into IPE, with the active support and guidance provided by Dr. D. S Reddy, Vice-Chancellor, Osmania University as an autonomous, non-profit society at the initiative of the Cabinet Secretary to the Government of India, Shri S.S. Khera, ICS.
The institute is in a picturesque greenwood area at Hyderabad in Osmania University campus. Over the last 40 years, the Institute of Public Enterprise has widened the area of its work. Starting with research, the institute soon found itself having to undertake consultancy for PEs and responding to the training needs of the executives of PEs and educational programmes. IPE became a pioneer in the field of computerization, assisting the state government in formulation of a computerization policy, developing software for PEs and public systems, advising them on hardware choice and on the use of computers as a decision support system.
The educational programmes of the institute have their basic foundation in the research, training and consultancy activities undertaken by the institute for public and private organizations/industries over the last four decades. They are the natural extension of the educational activities of IPE from the short-term management education to the long-term one and have led to vertical integration of the research function. The insights into management education started in 1980 with the commencement of a three-year part-time MBA(PE) programme.
In the year 1995, the institute started a two-year full-time Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM) to provide skilled human resources to meet industry requirements. The course is recognized by AICTE and recognized as equivalent to MBA by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU). These insights have led to the creation of a niche for itself in the conduct of the PGDBM course.
IPE’s long association with the Indian industry has been responsible for its pre-eminent position in the area of management education.[citation needed]
The Institute has endeavoured to maintain a balance between research, education, training and consultancy without allowing training or consultancy to deflect it from the original goal of research which remains central to its work programme.

[edit] Recognition
