 From the Chairman’s Desk
The fast growing and changing consumer demand for agricultural and other products led by
consumer needs of convenience and time-saving, and also the awareness about organic and eco-
friendly products is changing the agri-business and marketing system both in India and outside.
The country is having competitive strengths to increase production in agricultural sector to
five per cent per annum needs large public and private investment in agribusiness. Therefore,
the need for agribusiness and marketing management professionals exists in various fields right
from procurement of natural resources to consumer research in the supply chain. Thus, there is
a growing demand in production and marketing (processed and fresh), knowledge management,
procurement, logistics, agricultural finance and extension, commodity, risk management and
product development. In view of the increasing competition there is a growing need to compete
by providing niche products in food and fibre market to reduce marketing cost.

NIAM’s PGP in agribusiness is a specialized programme to suit the above needs in a focused way.
The best of faculty in the country is invited from IIMs, XLRI, MDI and other leading b-schools
of the country along with the industry experts to provide knowledge and skills to the students
by suitable teaching techniques of case method, lectures, projects and visits of markets, industry

areas of the agribusiness and marketing and are ready-to-serve the agribusiness and marketing
industry. Summer, winter and live projects undergone by students are satisfying evidence of the
contributions by NIAM to the industry.

manpower needs in agri-business and agricultural marketing fields.

Message from the
Director General
For a very long time agribusiness management has been a poor relative of
mainstream management. Agri. Business management education has also been
occupying a subsidiary place in management education. However with the
realization that agriculture and agri business needs to be the driving engine of
the Indian economy, Agri. Business is moving to the centre stage.

The National Institute of Agricultural Marketing, which is one of the earliest

sector specific management programme in this area, has the major role to
fulfil in this transformation. The management students coming out of NIAM
and agribusiness institutes need to be multi skilled and excel in variety of
knowledge based management competencies. To this end NIAM tailors its
selection process, education, project work and on campus activities to develop
our students to meet the challenge of all round management and sector specific
excellence. In all our activities at NIAM we take a global, holistic view of the
present needs as well as future challenges.

The batch of 2007-09 represents the very best of all the efforts in excellence
that NIAM has been aiming for. It is my pleasure to present to you the Batch of
2007-09 in the following pages and to invite you for our campus recruitment
programme which I am sure you will find very rewarding.

Director General

Jaipur–The Pink City
Jaipur is the pristine jewel in the desert sands of Rajasthan. It is located 260 km from national capital Delhi due to which it has
developed into a business centre with all the trapping of modern metropolis but yet flavoured strongly with an age-old charm that
never fails to surprise a traveller. Jaipur was the first planned city in India. Jaipur is as remarkable for its marvellous architecture and
town planning as it is for the lively spirit of the people who inhabit it. The city presents a unique synthesis of culture that has to be
experienced in order to be appreciated. NIAM is 16 km from Bus Station, 17 km from Railway Station and 5 km away from Airport.
