The Management Development Programe (MDP) is a milestone in IIM Lucknow's path towards becoming a totally integrated Institute with a global presence. The objective of the MDP is to help improve management systems by providing relevant training to executives of all levels in the industry, government and non-government sectors to take on a leadership role in their position individually and collectively.
