Director’s Message:

these changes and shape the future. It is a rare opportunity for a student to be able to go through such a rigorous training in economics, management and law and prepare themselves for the world of tomorrow. The institute provides its students with an enriching environment that is based on cooperative values but designed to be equally competitive in nature. Goenka students are challenged to think, understand and test conventional wisdom in order to forge new directions to accumulate knowledge and solve problems. We base our philosophy on the four principles of Knowledge, Attitude, Skills and Hard Work, which we believe are the foundations to success for any student. The Degree programmes at GDGWI incorporate these four principles in all the modules, which help students reach the highest level of understanding in their chosen area of study. Apart from the Management Programmes, the newly introduced Engineering courses use the modern approach to the teaching of engineering. This is based on applications right from the beginning. Also the programmes incorporate the most modern pedagogy of experiential learning. GDGWI is proud to have some of the finest teachers and researchers, in the country, who are drawn from some of the world’s best institutions. They bring with them both academic as well as corporate experience to enhance the learning abilities of their students. The teaching methodologies used by the faculty have been selected after careful consideration of their impact on students’ learning. While students are required to adhere to normal academic standards of the Institute, we also encourage them to get involved in discussions with their faculty members in an open and transparent manner. We value students’ individuality and understand that different students have different needs in order to be successful learners. We ensure that every effort is made to reach out to all the students by using a frequent appraisal and feedback system. I take this opportunity to welcome you at GD Goenka World Institute, where our dream is to ignite your potential and to give you the best return over your life time. I do hope that you will enjoy your stay at the institute and work with us, hand-in-hand, for a better future for all of us.
