11. As far the Indian professional institutions the aim & Objectives are in generic
nature.
In the Case of International Professional Institutions their visions are dynamic and
time bounded rather a static approach to perform their roles to curb the future
issues.
The need of context based aim & objectives induced by the recent issues and
challenges helps to review the objectives.
This urge the institution to have remarkable influence in the national, state and
local policy making regarding the development.
