Financial Management is the science of allocating resources among various projects or business units, maximizing the utilization of available resources to achieve business goals; and performing the activities that are necessary in the maintenance of that workforce through identification of requirements.

Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers. SCM spans movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption (supply chain).

The faculty imparts management education and training on the above subjects to the participants of the flagship course of HDMC as well as those of SDMC & DMC and various MDPs like DAM, JRMC and external capsules at DSSC, MILIT, AMCC and CAW.
