New Delhi, October 27, 2020: Indian School of Business & Finance (ISBF), New Delhi, a leading institute for Economics, Management and Finance (EMF) in India, held a virtual inaugural ceremony for the country’s first EMF Club at a school level, an initiative to provide students with a platform to learn more about higher studies and careers in the inter-related EMF fields.
The club has been established in partnership with Yuvabharathi Public School, Coimbatore, in a virtual inauguration ceremony that was attended by more than 350 students from classes 10, 11 and 12, along with senior members of both institutions. The session started with an inaugural address by Mr. Aryapriya Ganguly, Associate Professor at ISBF, who, along with Mr. Chiraag Mehta, Associate Director at ISBF, briefed students about the growing relevance of EMF in the world of work and the benefits they can reap from the club.
Mr. Ganguly, who is a University of London Worldwide Recognised Tutor, spoke about how the EMF Club will help further, the vision laid down by the path-breaking National Education Policy 2020 of bringing interdisciplinarity in the academic structure of high school and higher education in India. “Interdisciplinary approaches in the social sciences are better geared to address contemporary conditions existing within nation-states, constituting a very important global developmental imperative,” Mr. Ganguly said.

Enlightening the students further about the role of the EMF Club, Mr. Mehta said “Being driven by a leading school like YBPS and mentored by ISBF, which receives academic direction from The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), the Club will help create problem-solvers of tomorrow in the EMF domain. It will do so by providing early exposure to high school students to careers like investment banking, actuarial science, policy-making, data science and entrepreneurship, through guest lectures, talks by industry leaders, experiential learning workshops, research and internship opportunities and much more. We are very proud to partner with YBPS, and look forward to spreading awareness about this important domain through other partnerships across the country.”
The faculty and management of Yuvabharathi Public School were also extremely upbeat about this initiative. The Principal, Ms GeetaJayachandran, thanked ISBF for extending the opportunity to the school. Stressing on the need to look beyond academics in order to carve out space in the current competitive market, she said, “such initiatives are the need of the hour and partnering with an institution like ISBF, that enjoys global recognition, is an honour.”
Ms Manjula Pradeep, who is a faculty member at Yuvabharathi Public School, added, “While the government is pushing to make India a self-reliant nation, the EMF Club will help contribute towards this goal.” The ceremony concluded with the addresses of the three founding student members of the club, who briefly outlined their vision and plans for the club, motivating several among the audience to join and benefit from its unique programme.

Through its partnerships with global giants like the University of London, The London School of Economics and Political Science and Kingston University, ISBF ensures that students receive a rigorous, application-oriented and global education, which is relevant to local needs.
Many of them transfer to foreign universities in their second year of undergraduate study, go on to prestigious institutions for higher study, or secure placements in India or overseas with leading multinational corporations.
ISBF students are taught by an expert and highly qualified group of faculty members and also see deep engagement from partnering universities, who train ISBF’s teachers as well as conduct classes for students. On the LSE led programmes, ISBF students study the same curriculum and are held to the same standards as LSE students, with the programmes culminating into a University of London degree at a fraction of the cost.
Today, ISBF is one of LSE’s top five Teaching Institutions in the world, and also enjoys the University of London’s Affiliate Centre status, the highest recognition accorded to teaching institutions by the university.
In the Academic Year 2020-2021, ISBF has initiated the Business Management (Honors) undergraduate programme in partnership with Kingston University.

They receive all the same benefits as international students studying at Kingston University including hostel accommodation, 2-year work VISA and other career related benefits. The programme also offers an optional year-long internship anywhere in the world. Students complete this programme at less than half the cost at ISBF.
