Is there any scope of doing rural management? Is there any risk involved if I choose this course? Please clear my confusion.

Hi Neha, honestly speaking, most of them have this doubt. But this doubt also indicates the thoughts behind the word "rural". Often it is mistaken as something that is inferior or "risky" to study considering the benefits that any management education would give. But to my knowledge, studying rural Management does not deny you any opportunity to reap those benefits. In fact, it gives an edge to you in terms of understanding the rural market much better. Having said that, I would like to clear your misconception as well. Rural Management is not something that would not let you prosper in any given ways that you may wish out of a management education. Before you decide whether there is any "risk" involved in choosing it, I would encourage you to know what is rural management and explore and understand your interest in it. Scope is not a question to be answered but the real question lies in your perception of rural management and the interest that you have. P. S I'm doing my rural management and I don't see any risk and I have no doubts about its scope. Hope this suffices.

There is risk in everything we do but don't worry about scope in Rural Management. It certainly has scope in India where most of its population lives in rural areas. Government schemes are regularly announced to reach out to rural population. An MBA holder with rural management has more value here than any other. For example, UP government recently announced appointments for Lok Kalyan Sevak. Their task is to reach out to people in rural areas and make them aware about the government schemes.

IRMA has a legacy of nearly 40 years. The Institute is distinctive from the word go. The mission of promoting sustainable and equitable socio-economic development of rural people through professional management is itself different. Also, we are complete value-for-money with our return on investment among the best in the country and the average salary being close to Rs. 12 Lacs. IRMA attracts organizations from sectors as varied as Cooperatives/Producers Collectives like GCMMF (cooperative body managing the Amul brand) to Multinational and national agribusiness corporations like Tolaram, Afriventures, Cummins, Cargill, ITC, to grassroots development organizations like the Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society (JEEVIKA). We are the most preferred amongst the rural management schools and in the top few amongst mainstream management schools in the country.
