IIM Shillong
The Indian Institute of Management Shillong, is an autonomous business school located in Shillong, Meghalaya, India. It was established in 2008 by the Government of India and is the seventh IIM to be established.Logo DescriptionThe Logo heavily uses the color and the imagery from nature like the sun, the sky and the mountains. The portrayal of the sun with its rays spreading across in the half circle above gives a feeling of progress and light. The curves in yellow within the round give a shape of the mountain, where the institute is situated. The blue color stands for the sky. The definite linear lines at the bottom of the circle show energy can be channelized. This can also be compared to the skill of the students, which would be enhanced and guided properly.LocationSetting up IIMs and Central Universities in smaller cities and less developed Indian States has been a policy of the Indian Government for some time.It was after a long drawn tussle with the neighbouring Assam that Meghalaya was granted the first IIM in North East India. The government of Meghalaya has allocated around 120 acres (0.49 km2) of land for the construction of a permanent campus in Shillong.CampusThe Institute is currently functioning from a temporary campus in the Mayurbhanj Complex . The Campus includes a main building wherein the administrative office, faculty offices, classrooms, library and conference halls are housed.
