Origin of PMA
PMA (Patiala Management Association) owes its origin largely to the initiative and foresight of a few prominent industrialists, academicians, senior executives and professional managers of Patiala, who, realized the need for a professional association for exchange of views and experience among managers. With this as background, the Patiala Management Association came into being in 1997. PMA operates in affiliation with All India Management Association as one of its Local Management Association (LMA).
