With public private partnership being the development concept, social and rural development experts wii get jobs both in NGOs and Corporate Organizations.

 

 

There has been an unmet demand for professionalising the development of India's rural sector. Over the years a few reputed institutes have been providing management training in this area to cater to the needs of cooperatives, Non-Government Organisations, government development agencies, international development organisations and funding agencies. Institute of Rural Management, Anand, Gujarat is one such institution. Realising the demand, many other institutes have been offering customized courses with emphasis on social development, microfinance and rural development -especially as an MBA programme.

There are two kinds of programmes - one emphasizing rural development and another on the much broader concept of social development.

 

 

How and When to Join a Course?
Most of the programmes are post-graduate courses. Therefore, one could apply them after completing graduation degree. Students from humanities and arts tend to go for these courses. Students from science stream could be eligible for these courses. Please check the eligibility criteria for programmes of your choice and preference.

Institute of Rural Management
IRMA, established in 1979 at Anand, Gujarat, to provide management education, training, research and consultancy support to co-operatives and rural development organisations in India.
IRMA, with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation (SDC), the Government of India, the Government of Gujarat, erstwhile Indian Dairy Corporation and the National Dairy Development Board, is founded with the belief, borne out by Dr.Kurien's work in the dairy co-operatives which revolutionised the dairy industry in the country, that the key for effective rural development is professional management
Professionalising the management of rural organisations calls for matching the specific but unmet needs of the sector with the formal techniques and skills of management professionals. Linking the two are the 'rural managers' prepared by IRMA through its two-years diploma (PRM) in rural management.
