Institute Of Rural Management Anand
Institute of Rural Management, Anand (IRMA) (founded 1979) is an autonomous institution located in Anand in Gujarat, India with the mandate of contributing to the professional management of rural organisations. IRMA was founded with the belief, borne out by Dr. Verghese Kurien’s(Father of White Revolution) work in the dairy co-operatives which revolutionised the dairy industry in the country, that the key for effective rural development is professional management. It was founded at the initiative of the NDDB ( National Dairy Development Board) and the support of Government of India, Government of Gujarat and Swiss Development Co-operation. IRMA works closely with co-operatives, NGOs, governments, Indian national and international agencies.
IRMA has become a frontrunner in professionalising the development of India’s rural sector. Over the years it has provided 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 organisations, government development agencies, international development organisations and funding agencies.

“[They] hired a large house as a receptacle for gentlewomen, who either had no fortunes, or so little that it would not support them. For these they made the most comfortable institution [and] provided [them] with all conveniences for rural amusements, a library, musical instruments, and implements for various works.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
