rdf:langString Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) is an autonomous institution and premier business school located in Anand Gujarat, India with the mandate of contributing to the professional management of rural organizations. IRMA was founded with the belief, borne out by Verghese Kurien’s work in the dairy co-operatives which revolutionized the dairy industry in the country (Operation Flood), that the key to effective rural development is professional management. It is considered as the best business school in the Rural and Agricultural Business Management Sector of India. The Institute was established with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Corporation, the Government of India, the erstwhile Indian Dairy Corporation, the NDDB (National Dairy Development Board) and the Government of Gujarat. IRMA campus was designed by the famous architect Achyut Kanvinde. IRMA provides management training, support and research facilities to students committed to rural development; in this process it has brought within its ambit several co-operatives, non-government organizations, government development agencies, international development organizations and funding agencies. Over the years the convocation of IRMA is graced by National and International luminaries from the academic, cultural, spiritual, and political spheres. Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi attended IRMA's first annual convocation in 1982.
