Chairman’sMessage

I am very happy to introduce to you the students of the 39th batch of IRMA’s flagship

programme Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management and invite you in the forthcoming

campus placement process. After about two years of rigorous academic and field assignments

under the well-qualified and competent faculties, these students are now ready to be launched

as rural management professionals.

As you may be aware, Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) was set-up in 1979 by the

‘Father of the White Revolution’ Dr Verghese Kurien to nurture and develop a cadre of rural

management professionals to serve producer institutions and other developmental organizations.

IRMA uses a rigorous, nationwide selection process to identify potential candidates having basic

aptitude and motivation to work for the development of the rural sector.

It gives me immense pleasure to mention that, over the past 39 years, IRMA has nurtured

more than 3000 professionals who are making valuable contribution in meeting the goals of

the organizations they are working for. It is indeed satisfying to note that these IRMA alumni

are imbibed with the values and ethos which are required to serve the rural households with

empathy.

It is indeed a privilege to invite you to have interaction with some of India’s finest and committed

young women and men who are equipped with the knowledge, skills and aptitude to contribute

to creation of rural wealth and nation building. I am sure that you will find many of them quite

suited and qualified to help you in fulfilling the vision and mission of your organization.

Shri Dilip Rath, Chairman, IRMA


Director’sMessage

IRMA was set up by Dr. Verghese Kurien in the year 1979 with an aim to create a new generation of barefoot managers who would usher in modern management to serve the rural and the underserved economy. Since then, 3150 IRMA graduates have contributed immensely to the mission of IRMA across every sector of the economy.

Students at IRMA receive a management education unparalleled elsewhere, learning from the best and leading to fulfilling careers while making a socio-economic impact to millions of lives. No other business school in the world has been able to inspire young minds - with changing aspirations year after year – to serve people in the rural space, as IRMA.

Through its flagship program, the Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management (PGDRM), IRMA has not only germinated the concept of quality education in rural management and development, but actively fostered it. It is our continuing endeavour to keep abreast of the challenges and opportunities in the world of business, governance, and civil society while creating leaders and change-makers for a better tomorrow.

The PGDRM is a course with a unique curriculum. It not only offers high quality courses through its classroom terms, but also distinct segments that focus on experiential learning through the innovative Village Fieldwork Segment (VFS) and the Summer Internship Segment (SIS). The addition of two full terms of elective courses makes the classroom learning all the more enriching.

It gives me great pleasure in introducing to you the highly competent students of the batch of PGDRM 2018-20. I’m sure that you will be able to find the talent you’re looking for from this diverse and vibrant batch and that they will be the torch-bearers of your organizations for years to come.

Prof. Hitesh V. Bhatt, Director, IRMA


“You have chosen the road less travelled by, to work with those who need your services rather

than opting for jobs, which would fetch you rewards, but I must warn you that you will face

disillusionment and opposition at every step. I urge you to face every day with courage, patience

and humility. If you persevere, you will make a difference to the rural masses and it is this

difference upon which the future of our nation rests,” said Dr. Kurien to one of the graduating

batches at IRMA.

Let us take you through the journey of IRMA regarding who we are, how we started,

and where we are headed. “You cannot raise princes in a pigsty” was the retort from

Dr. Kurien when questioned how people trained in the world class infrastructure of IRMA could

possibly work in villages. This vision gave shape to the sprawling 60 acres campus on which

IRMA stands today. The lush green campus of IRMA is situated at Anand - alongside the founding

institutions NDDB and GCMMF. The towering Chimes, the grey walls, the winding paths and the

green lawns bespeak the legend and his mastery. Every part of the campus has an enduring legacy

behind it and plays a vital role in shaping the Odyssey of future rural managers.

A The wheels of the White Revolution were set rolling in the then sleepy town of Anand. It gave birth to the cooperative structure, which forms the bedrock of many development initiatives in India. When Dr. Kurien was looking for managers to realize his vision of Operation Flood, he found that the educational scenario at the time did not cater to this specific need. Having already set up more than 30 institutions including AMUL, NDDB, and GCMMF he devoted his institution-building skills to developing an institute that would train managers who, apart from possessing required managerial skills, would have an additional advantage in terms of a grasp of the dynamics of rural India. Thus, IRMA was set up in 1979 with a mandate to professionalize management of rural producers’ organizations while creating a body of knowledge in the concerned field.The institute was established with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the Government of India, the erstwhile Indian Dairy Corporation, the National Dairy Development Board, and the Government of Gujarat. The founding mandate was to provide management education, training, research and consultancy support to cooperatives and other organizations working for rural development in India. The core of IRMA’s operating philosophy has been to build and sustain a partnership between rural people and committed professional managers, as is reflected in its mission statement “to promote sustainable, ecologically-friendly and equitable socio-economic development of rural people through professional management.”


IRMA strives to contribute to the promotion of sustainable development and social justice in India’s rural society by:

• Creating a new breed of professional rural managers with the appropriate ethos and values

• Helping rural organizations and institutions in professionalizing their management

• Empowering rural people through self-sustaining processes• Building new rural management knowledge and theories

through action-oriented and problem-solving research and consultancy

• Influencing public policies.For more than three decades IRMA has been committed to excellence in scholarship, research, and training. A variety of rural organizations - cooperatives/producers’ organizations, non-government and government development organizations, and social enterprises besides others engaged with the rural space in the context of enhancing its prosperity have approached IRMA for problem-solving techniques and consultation. The graduates of IRMA have gone on to become thought leaders in the fields of public management, cooperatives, development, politics and more. In today’s world, when the opportunities in rural areas are brimming over, IRMA’s graduates have left no stone unturned in having successfully established the rural linkages for organizations from different sectors, given their area expertise. This has, in turn, strengthened IRMA’s position as the pioneering institute of rural management in the country and a reputed institution of knowledge throughout the world.


IRMA OFFERSPost-Graduate Programme in Rural Management (PRM): The flagship course of IRMA is a rigorous two-year programme that prepares students to undertake challenging managerial responsibilities in various organizations. It is recognized as the equivalent of a Master’s degree by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). On successful completion of the same, the students are awarded with the Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management (PGDRM).

Since its inception, IRMA has been working closely with the industry to integrate its emerging needs into the PRM programme structure. By design, the PGDRM curriculum includes practical exposure to rural realities through fieldwork and organizational internships apart from classroom-based learning.

This unique opportunity for experiential learning is at the core of IRMA’s mission of building and sustaining partnerships between rural communities and committed professional managers.

Fellow Programme in Rural Management (FPRM): Fully committed to its aim of being the torch-bearing institute of rural management, IRMA launched the FPRM in 2001 to cater to the country’s need for academicians trained in research, who can enhance knowledge and impart skills in institutions and organizations serving the rural sector. It is a doctoral-level programme that prepares students for academic, research, and consulting careers in rural management.

Executive Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Rural): The new programme is a 15-month full-time residential programme leading to the Executive Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Rural), PGDMX(R). This programme is recognized as equivalent to an Executive MBA programme and approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

Management Development Programmes (MDPs): These programmes offer specialized management training in finance, marketing, operations, computer applications, and human


resource management with development perspectives to rural development professionals. They have come to represent IRMA’s industry interface and are hugely reputed among practitioners of rural management, benefitting executives and managers alike.

Publications: IRMA has a publication programme managed by the Committee on Research Publications and Seminars (CORPAS)

which facilitates consultancy and research by IRMA’s faculty and works for dissemination of the Institute’s research work by organizing seminars as well as bringing out a variety of publications including working papers, research papers, cases in rural management, monographs etc.

Thursday Afternoon Seminar Series (TASS): The seminar series of IRMA provides a forum for an exchange of ideas to the faculty, visiting fellows and students. Usually held every Thursday, the seminars conducted under TASS form a major component of IRMA’s strategy for information dissemination.

Centres of Excellence: Having secured a grant from the Union Budget of 2012 through the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), IRMA has set up five Centres of Excellence in Research. The Centres aim to create an enabling climate for knowledge enhancement in tandem with the endowment units at IRMA namely RBI Endowment Unit, NABARD Chair Unit, Dr. Verghese Kurien Centre of Excellence.


The 22-month long PGDRM programme is divided into six classroom terms and a Summer Internship Segment. The courses in each of these six terms are carefully structured in order to give a wholesome view of the entire discipline and are judiciously placed to enable the participants to apply the same during their internship. In order to achieve this perfect learning mix IRMA, through its illustrious faculty, follows a distinct pedagogy with regard to each course that includes case analysis, simulations, experiential exercise, project presentations, writing papers, and guest lectures apart from an extensive use of audio-visual aids during regular classes.

Projects and Presentations These form an integral part of the stimulating curriculum at IRMA, giving participants an opportunity to showcase their knowledge, creativity, and dynamism. Working in different groups with their peers from diverse academic backgrounds widens the knowledge base of participants introducing variety to their unique learning experience, besides honing their leadership and people management skills. Innovative projects such as writing policy briefs, creating business and marketing plans for cooperatives, products, book reviews etc. are vital components of the curriculum.

Simulation / Experiential Exercises and Audio-Visual Aids The aforementioned components help participants gain better insights into various management concepts and development constructs. Fresh graduates are inducted into the PGDRM programme through the famed in-house management simulation game called ‘Naranpur Express’ that simulates rural economy and emphasizes the need for asset management and financial prudence. IRMA faculty members have been repeatedly invited by other top management schools in the country to conduct this game. Simulation games are also employed in courses to demonstrate practical situations and the strategies required to be used in them.

Case Analysis Drawing upon their vast experience in research and consultancy, IRMA faculty members prepare and publish case studies in the field of rural management and other functional areas of management. These case studies, along with those drawn from other leading national and international B-Schools, are used for introducing contextual analyses and insights into issues discussed in classes by simulating a business environment in the classroom.

Experiential Learning The most striking feature of the PGDRM course at IRMA is the emphasis placed on experiential learning. IRMA believes this to be an integral part in shaping the participants’ outlook. Therefore as a part of the curriculum, participants spend considerable time outside of campus, learning and applying. A participant graduating with a PGDRM diploma will have lived and worked with the underserved for nearly five months and hence, becoming a valuable asset to any organization wanting to cater to the needs of rural development.

A Firm Belief in Gender Inclusivity Promoting equity and ensuring equal opportunities for the marginalized is implicit in the ambit of rural management. This can only be achieved if the same principles are respected at home. Here at IRMA, the genders are treated on par. Girls face the same challenges as their male counterparts while on their fieldwork in the hinterlands. The tenacity of assignments remains the same and neither of the genders is discriminated against in the context of opportunities.

THE IRMA WAY


Phase 1: A Basic UnderstandingBefore the first classroom term begins, students are sent to stay in different villages of Gujarat as part of the Induction Fieldwork Segment (IFS). The stay exposes students to ground realities and helps them gain a practical perspective before they head to the classrooms. The academic endeavours begin with the first classroom term comprising fundamental courses in the fields of Management including Organizational Behaviour, Economics, Finance, Rural Society, and Research.

VILLAGE FIELDWORK SEGMENT (VFS)The Village Fieldwork Segment (VFS) is one of the main components of the two-year Post- Graduate Programme in Rural Management (PRM), the flagship academic activity of the Institute of Rural Management, Anand. Apart from providing the

students a first-hand experience of spending seven weeks in the villages to understand rural life and society, the VFS also gives them an opportunity to get involved in practical activities of the host organization. Over the years, VFS has been singled out by all the students as their most memorable experience at IRMA. The VFS consists of two distinct components: Village Development Report (VDR) and Rural Action Component (RAC).

The Village Development Report is designed to give students a deeper understanding on broad themes important for rural development such as Health, Education, Governance, Land Tenure, Agriculture, Livestock, Employment and business structures, Financial Inclusion and various idiosyncratic and covariate shocks. Detailed surveys at both village and household levels are administered by the students. Data thus collected is keyed in by the students and analyzed to make recommendations.

PRM CURRICULUM


The Rural Action Component (RAC) is designed to be a mutually beneficial component wherein the host organization involves students in a problem-solving or an action-oriented task for giving them practical exposure to some development actions at the grassroots. The tasks for the RAC are selected by the host organization and can be allocated to students either individually or in groups.

This year, the students of PGDRM 39 travelled to some of the most remote areas of our country such as Attappadi (Kerala), Dungarpur (Rajasthan), Anantapur (Andhra Pradesh), Kheda (Gujarat) to name a few. The students submitted comprehensive reports detailing their findings to the faculty and their reports were added to the Ravi J Matthai Library.

Phase 2: Building Blocks and Application of Thought

SECOND AND THIRD CLASSROOM TERMSBuilding on the experiences of VFS, the second and third classroom terms place emphasis on gaining

wider knowledge and applying it to managerial and organizational scenarios. The knowledge courses during these terms include: Macro Economic Perspectives, Understanding Organizations, Production and Operations Management. Implementation-oriented courses from all functional areas of management including Operations Management, Human Resource

Management, Financial Management, and Marketing Management provide students with skills allowing them to evolve from observers to analyzers.

SUMMER INTERNSHIP SEGMENT (SIS)The Summer Internship Segment (SIS) is a nine-week long internship programme scheduled from June right through August after the completion of Term-III of the PGDRM programme. The SIS aims to provide students with an opportunity of working closely with experienced managers in an organizational setting as well as with grassroot organizations. Students develop practical skills and gain a realistic idea of the managerial functions of rural organizations and development interventions. The SIS also offers scope for application and appreciation of theories and tools


and techniques learned in the classroom as well as Village Fieldwork Segments. Hence, SIS acts as a prelude to what the students are likely to encounter in their careers as rural managers.

This year, 235 students of the 39th batch undertook the SIS beginning from May 30, 2019.

Phase 3: Reflection and Application

FOURTH, FIFTH AND SIXTH TERMS The fourth, fifth and sixth terms are the final classroom terms in IRMA’s academic calendar and the focus is on reflecting on the experiences from the SIS and on building specialization. This allows students to reflect on their learning from previous terms and build higher-order management skills. This is manifested through courses like Strategic Management, Project Management, and Managing Collectives. During these terms, students are given the

freedom to judiciously choose electives from two sets of courses – Rural Development Management and Rural Enterprise Management.

While the former aims at providing in-depth understanding of various paradigms of development processes such as Corporate Social Responsibility, Monitoring and Evaluation, ICT for Development, Public Policy Analysis, and Microfinance the latter tries to build a critical perspective on business domains such as Agribusiness, Quality Management, Supply Chain Management, Social Marketing, Brand Management, and Strategic Sourcing Management.

An illustrious example of IRMA’s unique pedagogy is the Sales and Distribution Management course, which is conducted by industry professionals led by GCMMF (AMUL) and bolstered by professionals from Pidilite, Colgate Palmolive, Big Basket, and Adani Wilmar to name a few. This is probably the only course in a top business school of the country that is fully conducted by practitioners in the field.


THE IRMA UNIVERSE:

The HostelsThe hub of campus life is a 16-block hostel complex, with its fully-furnished single rooms and a furnished common reading room on each floor. The hostels house a prudent mix of students from both batches of the management programme providing great opportunities for camaraderie.

IRMA boasts the country’s most comprehensive and resourceful library in the area of rural management. Named after the late Ravi J. Matthai, former Director of IIM-Ahmedabad who helped found IRMA, the library is housed inside a spacious three- storied building. Straddl-ing over three decades of educational excellence, it houses more than 45,000 books, 15,000 e-journals, and 3000 internship reports spanning the entire gamut of management studies.


INFRASTRUCTUREThe AuditoriumIRMA’s 376-seater air-conditioned auditorium showcasing the Institute’s major activities has an excellent audio-visual projection system, which is used for conducting programmes. The IRMA staff club organizes various cultural programmes, sports activities, and film shows that are staged inside the auditorium.

Executive Training and Development Centre (ETDC)

The ETDC has 49 fully furnished AC rooms and four fully furnished AC suites for MDP participants. These are also used for accommodating visiting and guest faculty.

IMPORTANT DATES & RECRUITMENT PROCESS

We hope that this brief voyage through our beautiful campus has helped you understand IRMA and its unique disposition. Over the years, IRMA has carved a niche in management education and has created the new discipline of rural management itself. The alumni of the Institute have become thought leaders and change agents in their chosen spheres, which has led to IRMA’s recognition on the international platform as an institute par excellence.

As the current batch of PRM 39 stands on the cusp of entering their managerial careers, we cordially invite all organisations looking for young, bright and committed managerial talent to take part in our campus placement process.

The unique design of the curriculum at IRMA has made the students ready to undertake challenging responsibilities in various domains of management and we are confident that you will find candidates meeting your requirements in practically every field of interest to your organisation.

Job Offer, Acceptance & Joining:

Interested organizations forward their Job Announcement Form (JAF)

to the Institute

Pre-Placement Talks (PPTs)Pre-Placement Talk provides both the recruiting organisation and the students with an opportunity to interact with each other and clarify mutual expectations. We would appreciate if the organisation can send its representative(s) who can interact with the students.

Intimation of the Interview Dates to Organisations

It is required that an organization complete the entire selection process within the day allotted to it during the placement week.Subsequently, final offer/appointment letter may be issued by the organizations to the concerned students within a months’ time via post or email.Students are free to join your organization by Second week of May 2020.

Placement Week: (as per thematic grouping)IRMA’s placement process is unlike that of the other institutes in that there is no concept of Day 0 or 1. We welcome all our participating firms having interest in our students and rather group the placement activity into thematic groupings to help both the prospective employer and the employees in choosing the partner of their choice. Thus, for example, all firms interested in agribusiness or finance are grouped similarly and all those in the development sector are grouped together. This helps in students not getting lost during the placement process besides making peer comparisons within a sector much easier for all in terms of offer conditions being given within a sector.
