 Behind the facade of a futuristic India,
that is defined by its busy metropolis, lies
another India. An India that is built with
millions of villages. The true heartland
of the country. And in recent times, the
strides of development have made great
advancements in the rural economy. But with
development comes an even greater need for
specialists who can foster further progress
in this sector. Specialists who are better
known as Rural Managers. Who have all
the expertise to understand and bridge the
rural and urban divide and touch the lives
of people, bringing them economic progress
and upliftment that signifies a new rising...

Director’s Message
I take this opportunity to present, with immense pleasure, the Placement Brochure for the
year 2010 for the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Rural Management).
India stands on the brink of change and Rural India is leading the way. It is at this crucial
juncture that the students of XIMB Rural Management would prove to be the bond that
unites Rural and Urban India.
We at XIMB are extremely proud of the commitment and dedication exemplifi ed by the
students of PGDM (RM). Their concern for the socio-economic development of society
and the well being of the rural mass has been highly appreciated across India and beyond.
This coupled with world class faculty, excellent infrastructure and continually upgraded
and relevant course content, ensures that our students are best suited for undertaking
challenging assignments and accomplishing them successfully.
I welcome you to XIMB, to experience the academic environment of the Institute as well

The two years PGDM (RM) course approved by AICTE seeks to infuse professionalism in rural development and
management. It trains individuals to imbibe and cultivate a respect for the poor even as it imbibes in them the
understanding of factors leading to high level performance and self–motivation to achieve organizational goals.
Over a period of two years, the students develop competencies to analyse problems in a holistic manner, seek, organize
and present information that could lead to insightful, practical and innovative solutions. The course curriculum further
helps them decipher and go beyond the obvious.

Discipline, Versatility, Creativity and above all Humility form the hallmark of the students.

Courses

Ensuring a future with sunshine.

Objective
The course aims at evolving alternative perspectives
to understand and analyse the factors affecting the
rural sector, developing professional skills to plan,
implement and monitor development programmes,
and building social and business entrepreneurial
skills and leadership. It caters to the identified market
niches of development and social entrepreneurship,
rural business development and rural finance.

The institute’s curriculum is tailor-made to make XIMBians

shine like the brightest stars even in the darkest sky.

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. These study trips give the students the
much needed rural exposure apart from providing an
opportunity to learn from the 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 where they learn the 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, observe and analyse the village life and
economy closely. In addition to this, they will also be
engaged in carrying out theme based 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 Project (IRP) is offered in
the second year to undertake long term studies on a
particular topic with a view to provide the students an
opportunity to rigorously analyse and apply managerial
insights to complex problems in rural development and
management.

Bhubaneswar–The Temple City
Bhubaneswar, the capital of Orissa is situated in Khurda district. The city has been built in two parts; on one side is the ancient town with its famous temples
and on the other, the newly constructed capital with its offices, courts and the private residences. Bhubaneswar geographically serves not only as a link
between northern and southern India but it also opens up channels of communication and commerce with the rest of the world. Visitors are impressed with
the splendour of the three monuments—the soaring spire of the Lingaraja temple, the white domed peace Pagoda of Dhauli on the bank of the river Daya
and the pink temple of Mahavir Jain on the Khandagiri hill.
