Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA)

Overall This program in rural management provides wonderful exposure through fieldwork segments during summer internships and through VFS & IFS. The practical implications of whatever we learn are seen during this fieldwork. In college, we are not students; we are all participants, which means we are as responsible for the growth of the college's reputation and image as they are for our growth and getting us ready for real-life exposure.

Overall I joined IRMA in 2017 when I was naive and unsure about what I wanted to do in my life. In 2019, I got out of IRMA a young woman with a strong passion for bringing a positive change to our nation. Since then, I have been involved with a number of NGOs and social enterprises to help them improve their operations so that their benefits can reach a larger number of people. I owe it to IRMA for the fulfilling and rewarding life that I am living right now.

Overall The two years at IRMA were the most productive of my entire life. The faculty and industry experts at IRMA can inspire any person to be the best versions of themselves. My peers also challenged me at every stage to improve myself. It felt like two years at IRMA crammed more knowledge and learning than 4 years of my graduation. I would like to thank IRMA for bringing out the best in me and helping me become better than I ever thought I could be.

Overall From my graduation days, I wanted to do an MBA. So, when I ultimately made it to IRMA’s PGDM programme, I was faced with a dilemma. I belong to Tamil Nadu and I had never stayed outside before. So, the thought of going to an entirely new place and studying bothered me somewhat. Ultimately, I decided to let go of my fear and just go through with it. That was the best decision that I made with respect to my education. The professors and industry experts at IRMA were worth their salt in every sense of the word. All in all, I can safely say that today I owe all my professional success to IRMA and the people I had the opportunity to meet there!

Overall I belong to Anand, Gujarat, and despite wanting to pursue a post graduation in management, my family situation didn’t allow me to leave my hometown in pursuit of higher education. I didn’t give up hope and when a senior of mine told me about IRMA, I knew that that’s exactly where I needed to be. I worked hard to ensure that I made it to IRMA and once I got in, it was better than I had ever imagined! In my own hometown itself, I got the education that I had dreamed of. Right out of IRMA, I started working with Amul and now, I am helping expand our family business and take it to the next level. I thank IRMA & all the brilliant professors who transformed my life for the better.

Overall I used to be pretty clueless about my career aspirations while pursuing my graduation. I thought of pursuing a post graduation might help me get a better sense of direction in my career. So, I decided to pursue PGDM and being from Gujarat, I was happy that I made it to IRMA. I did their PGDM Rural Management programme and in the span of those two years, I went from being clueless about my career to being extremely passionate about bringing positive change in India’s rural economy & grassroots level. I can safely say that I owe my professional career to IRMA and the wonderful people I met there!
