Tribhuvan Sahkari University

Tribhuvan Sahkari University (Abbreviate: TSU), previously known as the Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA), is a University of National Importance and a business school located in Anand City, Gujarat, India. Its mandate is to support the professional management of rural organizations. It was founded on the belief shaped by Verghese Kurien's work in dairy cooperatives that effective rural development depends on professional management. This belief had a significant impact on the country's dairy industry, including the White Revolution (also known as Operation Flood).

The institute was established with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, the Government of India, the former Indian Dairy Corporation, the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), and the Government of Gujarat. The IRMA campus was designed by the architect Achyut Kanvinde.

The annual convocation of IRMA, now part of Tribhuvan Sahkari University, is distinguished by its emphasis on Indian culture and traditions. Graduating participants traditionally wear a kurta and pyjama and receive an angavastram along with their degree certificate from the Chief Guest, reflecting the institution's commitment to simplicity and cultural heritage.

In 2022, Amit Shah, the Hon'ble Minister of Home Affairs and Minister of Cooperation, Government of India, was Chief Guest of the conference. Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi attended IRMA's first annual convocation in 1982. Provided by Wikipedia
