  2. About IMG
The Institute of Management in Government, an autonomous body under the Government of Kerala, is the Apex Training Institute of the State, which plays a pivotal role in empowering the personnel in Government by imparting needbased training. IMG, headquartered in Thiruvannathapuram, has two regional centres at Kochi and Kozhikode, to cater to the regional training requirements.
Established in 1981, the Institute of Management in Government (IMG) functions as the Administrative Training Institute for the State of Kerala.

In 1956, the Travancore-Cochin Government established the 'Clerks Training School' renamed as 'Staff Training Centre' in 1966, to impart training to all Government employees. In 1976, the 'Kerala Institute of Public Administration (KIPA)' evolved from the State Training Centre to impart orientation training to the Government employees. KIPA functioned from three centres: Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, and Kozhikode. The Institute of Management in Government (IMG), established in 1981, is a revamp of the erstwhile Kerala Institute of Public Administration (KIPA). Designated as the Apex Training Institute for the State, it plays a vital role in developing a highly competent public service workforce by imparting professional training and skill up-gradation support.

Since its inception, IMG has been offering a range of training programmes and courses to Government employees at all levels. They include programmes on leadership and executive development, soft skills and computing, environment and sustainable development, financial management, e-governance, IT-related courses, stress management, disaster management, total quality management, quality circles, social inclusion, and gender perspective in development, trainer development, etc.
