About IRMAT he Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) is a
pioneering academic institution in rural management, education, and research. IRMA was established in 1979 at Anand, Gujarat by the Father of the White Revolution, Dr. Verghese Kurien. He started this institute with the belief that the key to effective rural development lay in professional management. IRMA’s unique strength of integrating development with management sets it apart from most other management schools. Today, IRMA is at the forefront of professionalizing the development of India’s rural sector and is known for its excellence in teaching and research. Apart from regular Training and Management Development Programmes, IRMA offers Postgraduate Diploma in Rural Management (PGDRM), One Year Executive Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management [PGDMX (R)] and a Doctoral-level Fellow Programme in Rural Management (FPRM).
The MissionThe mission of IRMA is to promote sustainable, ecologically- friendly, and equitable socio-economic development of rural people through professional management.
About PGDRMIRMA’s flagship programme, Postgraduate Diploma in Rural Management (PGDRM), equips young men and women with both development perspectives and business acumen.The curriculum of IRMA’s programme in rural management includes six classroom terms with courses in different domains like
Agribusiness Management, Marketing, Finance, Operations, Rural Development, among others. Besides all this, the course offers advanced electives such as Strategic Commodity Sourcing, Agri-input Marketing, and Digital Marketing. The interactive classroom sessions act as cultivating grounds for ideas and initiatives adding to the students’ overall development as management professionals.
IRMA believes more in action and, therefore, the programme is designed with an emphasis on experiential learning through two internship segments, which provide four months of on-field learning. The Village Fieldwork Segment (VFS) and Summer Internship Segment (SIS) allow the students to learn and work in both complex rural scenarios as well as corporate organizations with their different sets of challenges.
6 Summer InternShIp Segment – post graduate Diploma in rural management (pgDrm) Batch 2019-21 (40)
VILLAGE FIELDWORK SEGMENT
The Village Fieldwork Segment (VFS) after the first classroom term is an extended period of exposure to the rural economy, society and polity. The eight-week term develops in the students a deeper understanding and sensitivity to the concerns of rural communities as well as helps them in identifying inherent constraints and opportunities. Student groups are attached to local host organisations and are placed in villages across India. The students execute small action-oriented tasks entrusted to them related to the host organization’s area of work, known as the Rural Action Component (RAC). They also participate in collaborative research work with faculty members from IRMA by way of detailed surveys and thematic research.
This year, students of PGDRM 40 underwent VFS in 16 states across India with 26 organizations. From Assam to Gujarat and from Uttarakhand to Kerala, students of IRMA traversed the country during this unique segment.
7Institute of Rural Management Anand
The Summer Internship Segment (SIS) is a nine-week long internship programme scheduled during the months of June through August after the completion of Term-III of the PGDRM programme. The SIS aims to provide students with an opportunity to work closely with experienced management professionals in organizations across sectors. Students develop practical skills

Guidelines for the Host Organizations
Pre Internship
1. Interested organizations, on receiving the participation form (PF), along with the SIS brochure, are requested to forward their project proposals to IRMA. The PF must be complete in all details, specifically with respect to:
a. Description of the project and the role of students
b. Clearly defined outcomes/deliverables
c. Project location(s) during the SIS period
d. Allowances/stipend payable.
2. The proposals are then reviewed for their importance, learning opportunities available for the students, conformance with the SIS objectives, and feasibility.
3. IRMA encourages its students to choose organizations from a wide pool in order to ensure an even spread of projects and organizations. Students exercise their choices and select projects through a well-defined procedure.
4. Organizations are encouraged to conduct Campus/ Telephonic/Skype interviews to determine the suitability of candidates.
5. Once the organizations conclude the selection process, a faculty guide from IRMA is allotted to each project.
6. We accept requests for maximum 6 interns per project. However, there can be multiple projects from one organization.
During Internship
1. The students will require assistance to adapt to the place of internship and know the host organizations’ processes. We recommend an induction programme for the students in order to achieve the project objectives.
2. It is expected that the host organization will not make substantial changes to the submitted project proposal or change the location of the project. The organization will also not assign any new project. The organization must not provide any additional work to students.
3. A senior functionary in the organization, who can effectively play the role of a mentor, should be assigned as Reporting Officer for the students. Students shall rely on the Reporting Officer for guidance while keeping the faculty guide informed about the progress. Regular communication and consultation between the students, Reporting Officer, and faculty guide is recommended during the internship.
4. It should be ensured that students complete the project within the stipulated timeframe. The design of the post graduate programme at IRMA does not offer scope to extend or reduce the time allotted for the SIS.
5. Students are not entitled to leave during the internship period, except on statutory holidays. Any leave other than these availed should be reported immediately to the SIS Office ([email protected]) at IRMA by the Reporting Officer.

reporting location to field as well as transport among various locations on field
d. All incidental expenses related to the project such as survey expenses and local conveyance.
e. Costs incurred on availing services such as photocopying and printing while preparing the SIS report. The students should be advised clearly about the rules of the organization, permissible expenses, and procedures involved while settling claims. All accounts/reimbursements should be settled before the students return to the campus. The organization must not reduce or hold back any allowance/reimbursement/stipend that was promised in the SIS participation form.
8. At the end of the internship, the host organization may ask the students to make a presentation or write a report on the
objectives met and the goals accomplished while working on the project. The presentation must be arranged before students leave the organization. However, the organization can set a deadline for delivering the report.
9. The Reporting Officer should fill the evaluation form and hand it to the students in a sealed envelope before the last working day at the host organization. The evaluation form may also be scanned and e-mailed to the SIS Office directly at [email protected]. The grading may be conducted with due diligence and considering the challenges of internship and resources provided to the student.
10. Under no circumstances the evaluation/feedback form, relieving report or payment of expenses should be withheld.
11. Any incident of students’ misconduct or absence must be immediately reported to the SIS Chair or SIS Office at IRMA.
