Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA)

About

Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) was established in 1979 by Dr. Verghese Kurien, popularly known as the Father of the White Revolution in India. IRMA’s vision is of promoting sustainable, ecologically friendly, and equitable socio-economic development of rural people through professional management. Towards this end, Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) has been training rural managers and producing cutting edge knowledge on rural issues over the last 41 years.

Over four decades, IRMA has played a pioneering role in providing quality education in rural management. In a rapidly growing global economy, IRMA`s commitment to knowledge creation has led to its reputation of being a knowledge institution as well as a hub for teaching, training and research. Through its flagship program, the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Rural Management), or the PGDM(RM), IRMA has not only germinated the concept of quality education in rural management and development, but actively fostered it. IRMA is also home to dedicated programmes for scholars, via the Fellow Programme in Management (Rural Management), or the FPM(RM); and the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Rural Management Executive), or the PGDM(RMX), the latter of which focuses on the learning needs of professionals with considerable work experience.
