The faculty of XIMB and the professionals and
field staff of CENDERET in the year 1995 came to the conclusion that
there is a core problem relating to the lack of effectiveness in project
implementation in social sector in India. It was found that most of the
development agencies lacked managerial skills in implementing various
projects.
It was also felt that unless the young people moved
with their development managerial skills to the rural areas, the country
will continue to face unending problem of poverty. Keeping this in
mind, XIMB started one year Post Graduate Diploma Program in Rural
Management for the graduates and NGO members in 1995 which was upgraded
to the two year PGDM (Rural Management) programme from 1999. The
programme is currently running successfully and is approved by All India
Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
CENDERET and PGDM (Rural Management), both are
important domains of XIMB and both are working for enhancing the
development process in the state and bringing about qualitative change
in the lives of rural poor.
This convergence is a role model for other
organizations and institutions in India to follow and is a pioneering
step forward in the development of India.
