Director’s Message

In GIAL we teach and transform students to succeed and sustain in the competitive environment. The present scenario is the age of “The best informed”. Knowledge

is the way to power and MBA being multidisciplinary, make it imperative and inevitable for students to be equipped with information on national and international business affairs. It is possible only through conventional and traditional methodology of pedagogy clubbed with Information Communication Technology (ICT) and state of the art technology, because E-learning can only enhance the effectiveness of teaching. But basically even to impart education through such mediums we need professional teachers. Our Institution is blessed with dedicated and well qualified teachers. Besides curricular activities, we insist on and pay special attention to students taking active participation in extra-curricular activities too. Girideepam fraternity believes in “Educating, Entertaining, Experimenting and Expanding” in the realms of education sector. The personality of the students is enriched through this integrated education system. MBA thus is a complete package to strengthen their personality.

The vision and mission of GIAL has been based on a strong and unshakable ethical foundation. With the blessings of GOD Almighty, and with unwavering and unconditional commitment, it’s my responsibility now, to take up this noble legacy to the next stage. We march forward, under the providence of GOD, always “in pursuit and in search of excellence”

Rev. Dr. Varghese Kaipanaduka OICDirector - MBA & Principal - GIAL

Principal’s Message

Curriculum

The desire to stand out from an anonymous group is inherent in all of us. To this end one has to find out the means of discovering one’s own identity.

The mundane world in which we live today is limited by time and space and hardly do we get time to know or to esteem ourselves. Characterised by the tremendous growth of science and technology, the world is made of wonders. The biggest wonder is the individual man/woman. Whether small or big, it is an art and science to manage these wonders. Hence the need for learning management. The great man Kautilyan has stated in his book, “ARTHSHASTRA” that management is simply developing the basic qualities of man. We are engaged in developing the qualities of young people because GIAL is always “In Pursuit of Excellence.”
