About the Department

Department of Commerce, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, traces its origins to December 1967, when it
was established as a separate entity. Since then, the department has imbibed the DSE tradition of exploring new frontiers
of knowledge and innovation in academics. In its history spanning over three decades, it has redefined commerce
education in the country. The Department has come to posses the legitimate claim and pride of being a premier education
and research institute in the discipline of Commerce and Business in the country. The rapid growth of the Department of
Commerce is reflected in its expansion as well as novelty in its academic programmes.
In 1995, keeping up with the needs of the industry, the department of commerce introduced two post-graduate professional
courses called, Master of International Business (MIB) and Master of Human Resource and Organisational Development
(MHROD). In a very short span, both of these courses carved a niche for themselves in the market. Later, from 2014, both of
these courses were rechristened as -

Master of Business Administration – Human Resource Development

About MBA (HRD)

The success and sustenance of every organization traces back to its most core and prized asset: People! In
today’s world, every major corporation which wants to stay competitive and survive in a dynamic and
unforgiving global economic environment realises the importance of elevating HR to a position of primacy and
power. In the liberalised framework of the Indian economy, corporate experts in human resource development
are among the key personnel needed for corporate strategic planning and control.
The MBA program in Human Resource Development was started in the year 1995 (as MHROD) by the
Department of Commerce, Delhi School of Economics with the objective of providing quality education to highly
motivated young men and women so that they can provide professional expertise to business and industry in
the twin areas of Human Resource and Organizational Development. Identified by NHRD and NTPC, among
others, as a premiere course in the field of Human Resource, MBA (HRD) is a two-year full time professional
program spread over four semesters, which combines gruelling academic schedules with proactive efforts to
develop new perspectives and a higher level of knowledge and understanding. Going beyond books, theories
and case studies to open new windows, it helps young HR and OD experts to enter the increasingly competitive
and constantly changing global economy, equipped with the ability to face every challenge head on and
emerge victorious.

MBA – HRD Committees

Student Development Cell

Being a part of the global economy, which is ever growing and developing, it becomes imperative to
keep up with its constant changes and developments. For this, we need to step out of the boundaries of
our books, and learn from those who have had their hands dirty in this evolving business scenario. The
Students Development Cell provides a productive interface between the academia and the industry and
fuels the exchange of ideas among students, academics, government and the industry. The committee
is responsible for entering into alliances with different Industry Sectors/ Consortiums with a view to
develop the knowledge base of its students.
The main aim of this cell is to prepare the students for the corporate world by engaging them into
activities to give them insights of the real world corporate practices. The cell takes care of various
student activities such as workshops, student orientation and ice breaking sessions for the junior and
senior batches. The cell also focuses on improving and developing the overall personality of the
students by organizing activities like personality development sessions and workshops with coaches
and guides from the industry itself.
The major events of this committee are the HR Symposia and Conflux. HR Symposia is a 2-day

burning HR topics of the day based on a central theme. Whereas, Conflux is the annual management

MBA – HRD Committees

Team ESAC

ESAC is the Entertainment, Sports and Cultural Society of the MBA(HRD). While it’s crucial to keep
students abreast with academic rigour, it’s also important to ensure the holistic development of
students through various activities. In this pursuit, ESAC aims to provide a platform to students to
explore their horizons beyond academics. The committee is responsible for engagement activities
and sports activities. They organise trips, fun activities and sporting events to aid this learning.

Sankalp – CSR Society

MBA (HRD) is proud to introduce a new committee named “SANKALP”. Founded on Oct 2, 2016 with
a sole aim of building socially responsible managers, this committee helps students to develop
sensitivity towards the society and provide opportunities to apply their management skills to social
problems.

All business schools strive to develop successful and competent managers who can occupy the
topmost echelons of the corporate ladder but they often forget to inculcate a sense of moral
responsibility in their students towards their society and the environment. Being in HR, the
importance is even more as you must deal with people from diverse background with sensitivity. This
will help MBA (HRD), Department of Commerce in producing Socially responsible managers.

Having been founded only recently, the committee has already started to show a lot of promise.
Following drives have been successfully carried out by the dedicated team members of Sankalp –

The committee has been organising regular computer literacy drives in association with NGO
“Shades of Happiness” at St. Columba’s school from Oct, 2016.
