Director’s Message
It is my pleasure and privilege to place before you the placement
brochure for the year 2008-09 for the Post Graduate Diploma in
Management (Rural Management) programme of XIMB.
Mahatma Gandhi said that India lives in the villages. But, there are very
few people who are skilled and willing to undertake the development
of these villages in the rural areas of India. There are 47.23 million
households below the poverty line in India. The majority of these
households are again in the rural areas of India. The basic facilities
such as clean drinking water, electricity, education and health facilities
are scarce. At XIMB we understand the need for “change agents”,
skilled professionals, who are dedicated and educated to undertake the
development of rural India.
The rural management programme of XIMB has been the crucible which
has churned bright young students into responsible and capable rural
managers. The rural managers educated from XIMB have brought about
rural interventions to improve the livelihood support system of the
marginalized, used microfinance as an effective mechanism to ignite
the potential of entrepreneurship in the villages, harnessed the potential
for rural growth and ensured empowerment and emancipation to the
weaker sections of the society.
When you interact with our PGDM (RM) students; you will be touched
by their commitment and dedication and above all a burning desire to
contribute meaningfully to the process of nation building of India.

Programme Design
The Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Rural Management) programme has five mutually supportive learning
segments: the classroom sessions, field exposure visits, Rural Living and Learning Experience (RLLE) and Management Training
Programme (MTP) and Independent Research Projects (IRP). The classroom segment exposes the students to theory and concepts
related to basic management disciplines, rural economy and development issues through different core and elective courses.
Field Trips are an integral part of the pedagogy and are designed to cater to the academic requirements of many courses like
Societal Analysis and Development Action, Social Research Methods, Natural Resources Management, Micro Planning etc. These
study trips gives the students the much needed rural exposure apart from providing an opportunity to learn from field level
realities.
Rural Living and Learning Experience (RLLE), is an essential pedagogical component of the programme during which students
are challenged with the realities of the rural life and learn nuances of the rural economy. The one month programme is designed
in such a way that the students have to stay in the selected village, study and watch the village life and economy closely. In
addition to this, they will also be engaged in carrying out Theme research activities.
The eight week Management Training Programme (MTP) provides the students with a learning opportunity and practical work
experience in organisations of repute in corporate and social sectors, to apply the management concepts learnt in the classroom
to real life situations and helps them develop innovative target oriented solutions to the major issues faced by the organisations.
Independent Research Projects (IRP) is offered in the second year to provide students to undertake longer term studies on a
particular topic with a view to provide students an opportunity to rigorously analyse and apply managerial insights to complex
problems in rural development and management.
