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. What is the program all about? Designed by industry experts, the unique program by SCMHRD implements the Symbiosis approach for holistic education in order to explore multiple facets of the domain and ensure in-depth learning by the participants. The course has been exhaustively designed to help the participants understand the complexities of infrastructure management and ways in which it can be addressed. What starts with a general overview of the basics of infrastructure management and the way in which it impacts the overall development of the economy, gradually progresses to an in-depth understanding about the evolution, challenges and the road ahead! The program is also focused on helping students develop a strong understanding of the managerial concepts which includes business strategies, supply chain management and business laws. The idea is to give students a strong base with the managerial as well as the technical knowledge. This makes it easier to adapt to the corporate scenario at the later stage in their lives and guarantees their transformation into qualified professionals.
