Lucknow Management Association

In 1976, some distinguished professionals in Lucknow, under the leadership of Mr. T.N. Dhar then Secretary, Planning, Govt. of U.P. came together and with patronage of the then Chief Minister Sri Narayan Dutt Tewari, Lucknow Management Association was formed as a local chapter of AIMA. Establishment of IIM at Lucknow in 1984 gave fillip to LMA’s endavours in proliferation of Management knowledge and taking the management movement forward. LMA hosted a number of distinguished management speakers in its lecture meetings, a practice which still continues. Over time, LMA grew in size and stature and linkages. Sometime in 2000, it decided to work beyond management and, after considerable internal brainstorming, LMA adopted for itself a set of Mission, Vision, Values and Beliefs, which are recited in all LMA meetings and which thereafter guided all its activities. In the same year 2000, LMA got its first recognition with an AIMA award for best local management association in category 4. Since then, it has been a steady growth and LMA graduated to higher AIMA categories.
