Appointment of Whole-Time Director
Description:
The letter discusses the situation regarding the appointment of Dr. K.K. Das as the Whole-Time Director of the Indian Institute of Management. Dr. Das has not responded to the offer by the stipulated deadline of May 20, 1970. Shri Mookerjee expresses the need to consider whether withdrawing the offer would serve any practical purpose since no alternative candidate has been selected yet. He also highlights the possibility that Dr. Das may be temporarily unavailable due to a university vacation, which could explain the lack of response.

Additionally, Shri Mookerjee points out that the administrative Ministry (Ministry of Education & Youth Services) representative did not attend the Board of Governors meeting on May 15, 1970, which led to the current decision. As the representative of the Education Department, Government of West Bengal, Shri Mookerjee was unable to agree with the decision regarding the selection process for the Director. He suggests that the matter should be revisited in the next meeting of the Personnel Committee.
