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.[1] It is considered as the best business school in the Rural and Agricultural Business Management Sector of India.[2]
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. The IRMA campus was designed by the famous architect Achyut Kanvinde.
The annual convocation at the college is known for its display of Indian culture and traditions. In 2022, the convocation was graced by Amit Shah, the Hon'ble Minister of Home Affairs and Minister of Cooperation, Government of India, as the Chief Guest[3] as well as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi attended IRMA's first annual conference in 1982.[4]
