About the Course
Traditionally, industry has been the main focus of management science. Xavier Institute of Management made an innovative departure by emphasizing the need to expand the use of management science to the rural sector in the form of creating managers not only for corporate sector but also for the social sector. The basic objective of introducing the two years PGDM (RM) course is to inject professionalism in the field of rural economy.
The AICTE approved management programme caters to the unmet needs of social as well as corporate sector. It trains individuals to imbibe traits such as organizational loyalty, understand the factors leading to high level of performance and self-motivation to achieve the organizational goals.

Today under the new economic reform regime, the corporate houses are also required to initiate special programmes aimed at social development.
The symbiotic relationship between business and society has triggered off a growing involvement in the social sector.
There is, therefore, a crying need to bridge the corporate sector and rural society. This would not only help in setting up a process for contributing to the needs of the informal sectors objective but also provide a platform for the corporate sector to strengthen business opportunities. As a result, more and more corporate bodies are looking for a special team of rural managers who understand the complex dynamics and behaviour of rural society.
