"Tribhuvan" Sahkari University

Tribhuvan Sahkari University (Abbreviate: TSU)(earlier known as: Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA)) is a University of National Importance and a business school located in Anand city of Gujarat, India which aims to contribute to the professional management of rural organizations. TSU (earlier known as IRMA) was founded on the belief, born out of Verghese Kurien's work in dairy cooperatives, which had a significant impact on the country's dairy industry (Operation Flood), that the key to effective rural development is professional management.

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, the convocation was honored by the presence of Shri Amit Shah, the Hon'ble Minister of Home Affairs and Minister of Cooperation, Government of India, as the Chief Guest. Additionally, the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi attended IRMA's first annual convocation in 1982. Provided by Wikipedia
