Bangalore: Jan 19:
The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) and MphasiS announced a partnership to open an Office of Disability Services (ODS) to cater to the academic needs of students and staff with disabilities at IIMB.

This facility of ODS will make an assessment of all the incoming disabled students, categorise what support the institute has to provide for them, and then coordinate with the concerned offices within IIMB to provide such support.

"Setting up such a one–point support system for disabled students will enable IIMB to provide inclusive education that is competent enough to match some of the best universities in the world," said Professor Pankaj Chandra, Director, IIMB.

"This partnership with MphasiS will enable us to create an inclusive academic world where everyone gets an opportunity to excel without any discrimination. We are one of the first professional educational institutions in the country to have an articulated policy that aims at removing all barriers that prevent students with disabilities from realising their true potential," Chandra specified.

"MphasiS is deeply committed to supporting people with disabilities and in aiding them to become employable. One of the reasons for low rate of employment of people with disabilities is the lack of infrastructural facilities at educational institutions. MphasiS has joined hands with IIMB, to respond to this need in India which has not been met yet," said Elango R. Chief Human Resources Officer – MphasiS.
