Walking on the path of constant innovation, IIM Indore has now assembled a new Centre of Excellence (CoE) by joining with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to work on WASH – Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. At this facility, courses concerning sensitivity towards urban sanitation and waste management will be adhered to. These range all the way from political leadership, ward councilors, to front-line employees of corporations.
