National Knowledge Functional Hub

FICCI's "National Knowledge Functional Hub (NKFH)" is an initiative to facilitate and strengthen Industry - Academia engagement across India. The intent of this initiative is to create a knowledge network of leading Universities and Companies with Tier II and Tier III Institutions and local Small and Medium Industry.

NKFH was recommended by the 'Narayan Murthy Committee on Industry-Academia Linkages' and endorsed by Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. Under NKFH FICCI has partnered with the UK's Royal Academy of Engineering in 2015 under the Newton-Bhabha Fund which builds science, innovation and R&D ties between India and the UK, sponsored by both governments. 

Broad objectives of the engagement are as follows: 
  • To support Indian universities in improving their engineering education and research output through strengthening industry linkages and leveraging UK expertise
  • To form partnership models which could have significant impact within a short timeframe

FICCI-Business School Ratings

FICCI, in association with ICARE Ratings, has designed "FICCI-Business School Ratings", a comprehensive framework to audit, assess and rate Business Schools in India on globally relevant and employability-oriented parameters. This is backed by intensive research and industry stalwarts so as to propel our B-Schools into the 'World-Class' league.

Business Schools will be divided into categories and rated for their overall performance against a wide range of parameters. Participating B-Schools will be provided with a detailed analytical report at the end of each years’ exercise, which will help senior administration to take steps to improve upon their strengths and strive for excellence.
