With a vision to offer quality education, research and development in the field of aviation, MDI Gurgaon has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Aviation Academy (IAA, NIAMAR Society) - a society registered under the Societies Act and a premier institute for aviation education and training. Through this initiative, the partnering institutes can establish an academic collaboration which can provide education, training, research, and consultancy in the Aviation Management sector. Together, MDI and IAA will design, develop and deliver joint Management Development Programs in Aviation Management.

“Through this partnership, MDI Gurgaon will foster a culture of experiential learning with training activities in the field of aviation. This partnership will not only benefit youth taking up high-quality training but will also allow the industry to meet its ready requirements for trained manpower,” said Pawan Kumar Singh, director, MDI Gurgaon.

MDI Gurgaon and Indian Aviation Academy will be working towards promoting joint research, case studies and publications and more. Also, both the institutes will jointly work on consulting projects and collaborating with the International Summer University for superior outreach and experiential learning of potential participants from various global institutions in future.

Speaking about the initiative, Hareendranathan E P, executive director, IAA said, “Aviation is a complex, volatile and dynamic industry employing highly skilled and enriched human resource. Bridging the gap between learning outcomes and industry requirements by innovative, quality courses will be the greatest enabler of aviation resurgence.”

“The collaborative programme will ensure that participant’s educational experiences and qualifications are contemporary, interdisciplinary, relevant to the world of work and valued by employers,” said Kanwal N Kapil, Dean-Continuing Education, MDI Gurgaon.
