Category: Education

History has been witness to the fact that when countries choose to pay heed to the infrastructure management, the big impact was on the development of the entire economy. If you are wondering how this happens, the logic is quite simple. Individually the economy comprises of various components. However, it is infrastructure that connects these components and therefore becomes the lifeline of the development that we see. Even in case of India, the top focus for the government has been on infrastructure. But a major challenge that the country faces is the lack of trained professionals in the domain of infrastructure management. The Symbiosis Centre for Human Resource Development is amongst the top notch institutions in the country working to address this challenge with its full time MBA in Infrastructure Management.
