An Institution outside the university system and miles away from being a private entity, a not-for-profit Institution set up with the central government drive in 1964 to handhold the central public sector enterprises, the jewels and key drivers of Indian economy, IPE is a bright example of a self-made Institution which survived and flourished due to its collaborations with Government of India, public sector enterprises, state governments, Indian Council of Social Sciences Research, State Government, funding partners, and International Organizations.

Through this book the authors make an attempt to present the long and arduous journey of IPE. It narrates the intensity and zeal with which the Institute carried out its activities to steer itself to greater heights year over year. 

The book celebrates the defining moments in the journey and does not shy away from narrating the challenges faced by the Institute at various junctures. The book proudly presents the volume of work and achievements of the IPE leadership with the support of deeply engaged faculty and staff in various spheres which strengthened the Institution. 

The book will prove useful to policy makers, public policy researchers, educational administrators, civil servants, practicing managers, civil society and post graduate students interested in understanding organizational dynamics and studying the factors involved in Institution building.
