What is it like to move away from corporate world & work for rural India.Is it possible for someone from corporate to adapt into this field?

Hello Vishnu :) First of all I would like to clear one thing- IRMA is not only about Development sector or say Rural India (NGOs). IRMA equips you with a balanced mindset (socialist+capitalist) for a managerial job in multiple sectors like finance, marketing, consultancy, dairy (co-operatives), development sector etc. About the second part-Adaptation,my answer would be, it depends on what you want from your life and if you like the things that I am going to mention below,then you would easily adapt into this field. Current batch(2015-17) of IRMA has 90 students with work experience, most of them(around 80) are from Corporate sector. IRMA provides you an opportunity to contribute to society in a significant way rather than just following scripted SOP dictated by BOSS. So, if you want to look at the prevalent systems from a different angle and do some meaningful work, IRMA is the place for you. Here, the most important factor is "JOB SATISFACTION",which every IRMAN enjoys for whole life, because your actions will have an impact on someone's life. I hope I have answered your doubt. If not, then I would be happy to clarify things. Thank you.

It is. In fact i along with most of friends have left corporate jobs after getting tired of its monotonous nature. The job with a development organization is a dynamic one and even if you can't get adapted, you can always switch back to corporate job.
