Hello sir, my brother is looking for detail about the IIM Ahmedabad Rural Management department. Please give me info of IIM Ahmedabad Rural Management?

The IIM Ahmedabad is commitment and expertise in agri-food and rural sectors dates back from its inception when the institute had accepted managerial issues related to under-managed but socially important sectors – particularly agriculture - as part of its thrust area.

A small group, called the Agco Group, was set up in 1963 to work on the problems of agricultural sector and cooperatives.

This Group was re-designated as the Centre for Management in Agriculture (CMA) in 1971.

The goal of CMA has been to help the process of modernization of the agri-food sector, by using concepts of management science.
