It is devoted to Education, Training, Research and Consultancy for business enterprises in the public and private sector.

Shri.S.S Khera, ICS, the then Cabinet Secretary, Government of India, had conceived the idea of a research institution that would undertake a systematic and sustained study of issues relevant to the formulation of policies towards public enterprises. In the year 1995, the Institute started a two-year full time Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM), recognized as equivalent to MBA by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), to provide skilled human resources to meet the requirements of the Industry. Consolidating on the experience and to meet the needs of the industry, the Institute commenced  two-year full time Post Graduate Diploma in Management - Retail and Marketing (PGDM-RM) in 2007 and Post Graduate Diploma in Management - Banking, Insurance and Financial Services(PGDM-BIF) in 2008. These courses are recognized by AICTE. These insights have led to the creation of a niche for itself in the conduct of the PGDBM course.
