Prof Dheeraj Sharma: Redefining Academic Leadership at IIM Rohtak

In the world of Indian academia, where vision and execution often don’t walk hand in hand, Prof Dheeraj Sharma stands out as a rare exception. As the Director of IIM Rohtak, he has reimagined what a modern Indian B-school can be—globally recognized, research-focused, and socially responsible.

Who Is Prof Dheeraj Sharma?

Prof Sharma is not just an academic—he’s a change-maker. A prolific researcher with over 150 publications and 10 books, he is a widely respected voice in marketing strategy, consumer behavior, and policy consulting.

His work goes beyond theory. He blends psychological insights, quantitative methods, and real-world case studies to tackle some of the most pressing problems in management and governance.

Institutional Reforms at IIM Rohtak

Under Prof Sharma’s leadership, IIM Rohtak has emerged as a top-tier institution with:

More than 1500 students, the largest among IIMs

A consistent 70% female representation in MBA batches

Top rankings in NIRF (12th) and QS World University Rankings (151+ global)

Full AMBA accreditation for its flagship PGP program

His vision has made IIM Rohtak more inclusive, more global, and more connected to industry and government than ever before.

Academic Brilliance

Prof Sharma's research isn’t just extensive—it’s elite. Many of his papers are published in FT-50 journals, the world’s most prestigious outlets for business and management studies.

Notable research areas include:

Cross-cultural consumer psychology

Online trust and digital marketing

Organizational ethics and national culture

Marketing relevance and real-world application

Each publication reflects not just academic rigor, but actionable insight.

Policy Impact and Government Projects

Beyond the classroom, Prof Dheeraj Sharma has led numerous government-sponsored consultancy projects:

Impact assessment of "Mann Ki Baat"

Training need analysis for Indian Army and Central Armed Police Forces

Crop residual management with Ministries of Agriculture and Commerce

His work helps shape better policy decisions—making him one of the few academics to influence government at such scale.

Rising Research Culture at IIM Rohtak

In the 2023–24 academic year, IIM Rohtak published 88 research papers—a record-breaking achievement. This surge in academic output is a direct result of Prof Sharma’s push for a research-first culture, where inquiry meets impact.

Values, Vision, and the Future

Prof Sharma often emphasizes:

Simple living, high thinking

Engaging in co-curricular activities and Yoga for mental fitness

Ethical leadership over monetary gain

Preparing students for AI, data science, and AR-driven futures

His role is not just to produce graduates, but to nurture responsible leaders for tomorrow.

At a time when Indian education is under transformation, Prof Dheeraj Sharma sets a gold standard. His contributions remind us that education isn’t just about placements or publications—it’s about building institutions of integrity and producing leaders with vision.

If you’re a student, researcher, or policymaker, you’ll find both inspiration and insight in his journey.

Harvard SEVP Ban Temporarily Blocked: Global Universities Offer Support for Displaced International Students

Harvard International Student Enrollment Suspension — Global Response Unfolds Earlier this week, the Trump administration revoked Harvard University's certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), effectively banning the institution from enrolling international students and putting nearly 6,800 F-1 visa holders at risk of deportation or forced transfer.

In response, Harvard University filed a lawsuit challenging the decision, citing violations of the First Amendment, due process, and administrative procedure. A federal judge in Boston has since issued a temporary restraining order, halting enforcement of the SEVP revocation until an official court hearing is held.

Amid the uncertainty, universities and institutions worldwide have rallied to support affected students, offering scholarships, admission pathways, and academic continuity.

$10 million global scholarship fund

Full tuition coverage (~$200,000)

“Opening a campus in Bengaluru is the next natural step in our commitment to global engagement,” said Professor Jones. “We aim to provide a world-class learning environment and embed strong research culture that benefits industry and society.”

The University of Liverpool joins a growing list of international institutions entering the Indian market. Other universities approved by the UGC include:

Illinois Institute of Technology (USA)

Victoria University (Australia)

She is also associated with the wellness brand Healing Tattvas and is known for sharing her travel experiences and insights as a travel and fashion blogger.

Makwana’s dedication to promoting yoga and wellness has not gone unnoticed. Her efforts were formally recognized on International Yoga Day 2024, celebrated on June 21, when she received an award for her significant contributions to the field of yoga and wellness.

However, Makwana’s journey hit a controversial bump when she decided to perform yoga within the premises of the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Her post featuring a yoga pose, Shashankasana, at the sacred site went viral, leading to a significant backlash. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) filed a police complaint against her, alleging that her actions hurt the sentiments of the Sikh community.

In response to the backlash, Makwana issued a video apology on Instagram. She explained that her visit to the Golden Temple on June 19, following an award ceremony in Delhi, was meant to express her gratitude. She emphasized that she did not intend to offend anyone’s religious feelings and sincerely apologized for any distress her actions may have caused. Despite her apology, she has faced severe online abuse and death threats.

Makwana expressed that she felt misrepresented and insisted that her actions were impulsive and emotionally driven, with no malice intended. She promised never to repeat her mistake, acknowledging her ignorance of the rules regarding religious sanctity at the Golden Temple. Nonetheless, the SGPC proceeded with their complaint, maintaining that her actions were inappropriate for the revered site.

Archana Makwana’s story highlights the complexities of social media influence, cultural sensitivity, and the repercussions of actions in the digital age. Her experience serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting religious sentiments and the potential impact of public actions on diverse communities.

BJP's OBC Strategy in Haryana: Enhancing Welfare Ahead of Assembly Elections

The BJP in Haryana is gearing up for a potential hat-trick in the upcoming Assembly elections by focusing on consolidating support among the Other Backward Classes (OBCs). With an eye on securing a third consecutive term, the party has announced significant measures aimed at the OBC community, including raising the creamy layer income cap from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 8 lakh and increasing reservations in local bodies such as panchayats, municipal corporations, and municipalities.

OBCs constitute approximately 30% of Haryana's voter base, making them a crucial demographic alongside Jats and Scheduled Castes. Following a setback in the recent Lok Sabha elections, where the BJP lost ground to the Congress in key constituencies, the party has intensified its welfare initiatives and is rolling out additional benefits to garner support.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has been pivotal in these efforts, making recent visits to the state to announce these welfare measures. Emphasizing continuity, Shah affirmed Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s leadership role and unveiled policies during events focused on backward classes in Panchkula and Mahendragarh.

Reflecting on the BJP's longstanding commitment to OBC welfare, Union Cabinet Minister Krishan Pal Gujjar highlighted ongoing initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana and constitutional empowerment of the OBC Commission under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration.

The BJP’s strategy also includes strategic appointments within the state’s leadership, ensuring representation from diverse communities. This approach aims to consolidate support across different voter segments amidst a shifting political landscape with the dissolution of alliances and realignment of electoral dynamics.

Looking ahead, the BJP plans extensive outreach across Haryana’s rural and urban areas, showcasing developmental projects and engaging with local communities to bolster their electoral prospects. With ongoing efforts to deliver tangible benefits to OBCs and other marginalized groups, the party is poised to intensify its campaign with further announcements expected in the run-up to the elections.

Hemming's mandate includes preparing pitches for upcoming series against Bangladesh and England, as well as for the Champions Trophy 2025. His appointment aims to address criticisms that Pakistani pitches have been too favorable to batsmen, resulting in numerous drawn matches at home.

Former cricketer Scott Styris highlighted the importance of winning home games in the WTC, emphasizing Pakistan's potential with its strong tradition of stylish batsmen and fast bowlers. However, he cautioned that balanced pitches are crucial for Pakistan to develop into a well-rounded team.

Former PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja had previously criticized the quality of pitches in Pakistan, advocating for modern drop-in pitches to enhance playing conditions. With Hemming's expertise, PCB aims to create pitches that challenge both batsmen and bowlers, fostering competitive Test cricket in Pakistan.
