Brief Historical Background

Pandit  Dwarka  Prasad  Mishra  Indian  Institute  of  Information  Technology,  Design  &  Manufacturing (PDPM IIITDM ) Jabalpur was established by the Ministry of Human Resource Development on January 24,  2005  under  Madhya  Pradesh  Society  Registration  Act  1973.  The  foundation  stone  of  the  Institute  was laid  by  Late  Shri  Arjun Singh,  the  then  Minister  of  Human Resource  Development  (MHRD)  on  February  7, 2005.  The  first  academic  session  of  PDPM  IIITDM  Jabalpur  started  from  August,  2005.  The Institute started operating from the temporary location at the IT Bhawan of the Jabalpur   Engineering College.  Prof Sanjay G.  Dhande,  Director,  IIT  Kanpur  was  given  the  additional  charge  as  the  Director  of  the Institute.  Simultaneously,  the  efforts  were  on  to  find  suitable  land  where  the  campus  of  the  new  Institute could be developed. On May 3, 2006 a land of 250 acres near Dumna Airport of Jabalpur was identified by the State Government of M.P. and was handed over to the Institute. Construction work of Phase I buildings was started in 2007.

• Provides maximal opportunities for intellectual and creative development.
• Provides  exposure  to  solve  real  life  problems  through  interdisciplinary  approaches.
