LIFE@ School of RM
Rural Management-PGDM-RM started with the commitment to reach the rural society and serve them with better available and evolved management tools. In 1995, this practice based knowledge was used to design and launch the one year Post Graduate Diploma Program in Rural Management for graduates students and NGO members. In 1999, the diploma program was upgraded to the two year Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Rural Management-PGDM-RM) program. In 2013, the program again evolved and was housed as an independent school of RM (with XIMB becoming XIM University).
