Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management (ITM) in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh is an autonomous institute set by the Government of India, MHRD (Presently Ministry of Education, Govt. of India) in 1997. It is an effort by MHRD (Presently Ministry of Education, Govt. of India) towards creating professionals in areas of management and information technology from the same institute. This institute was created to facilitate higher education, research, and consultancy in the areas of information technology (IT) and business management. Initially started as IIITM, this institute was prefixed with ABV in 2002 to honor the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

The Beginning

The beginning of ITM could be traced back to 1992 when MHRD (Presently Ministry of Education, Govt. of India) under Dr. P. G. Reddy contemplated setting up advanced information systems in the likes of IIMs and IITs in different locations of India. Subsequently, in 1995, the Government of India based on a report prepared by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) comprising eminent academicians, policymakers, and professionals decided to establish national centers focused on IT and management training.

PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management and Information Technology) was the maiden course initiated in 1998 with thirty students, followed by PGDIT (Post Graduate Diploma in Information Technology) in 1999 and Ph.D. and 5-year Dual Post Graduate programs in 2000.

Committee

This essentially was the committee set up by MHRD (Presently Ministry of Education, Govt. of India) under Dr. P. G. Reddy to study the comprehensive situation of software education and its utilization in India. With the demand for skilled information technology and management professionals reaching several thousand, it became necessary to establish specialized management and IT institutes similar to IIMs and IITs to bridge the gap between manpower demand and supply.

Policy

All pervasive growth of IT in India was triggered by Software Policy in 1986, Electronic Policy in 1985, and Computer Policy in 1984. These three policies in unison led to extensive use of computerized methods across different sectors of business, industries, and public administration thereby necessitating the need for competent professionals at different levels. Infrastructures like the Internet, INDONET, NICNET, ERNET, and INFLIBNET were established to support this demand for widespread usage of computerized processes.

Autonomy

ITM was set up as an autonomous institute under the Societies Registration Act. This centrally funded body run by a Board of Governors aims to offer education, research, training, and consultancy in the fields of management and IT in an integrated way.

Role of State Government

Supporting the cause of MHRD (Presently Ministry of Education, Govt. of India), the Government of India in developing an integrated IT and management institute, the Madhya Pradesh State Government offered nearly 61 hectares of land. This area on Morena Road and at the foothills of Gwalior Fort is easily accessible from the city airport and railway station.
