MBA in Rural Management

Our country's most number of population belongs to the rural areas. Developing and enhancing the rural life is always a challenge to the policy makers. On the other hand, MBA is a skill full course work, where a student comes to know how to manage and implement the best possible resource available in a cost effective way. And if resources are not available, get them in a feasible way to encounter or to solve managerial level problems. 

MBA in Rural management is a kind of a bridge where we can add a humanitarian view and try to resolve our rural world problems with skills of business and management.

Rural Managers are part of Social-economics development of a rural area where resources are not available or critically available. They think in a way that's how rural people can get all the facilities of a human life that is available in an urban area. 

Future Prospects: Generally a Rural manager works with NGOs, Government and few of private companies. There resides a huge market in rural parts and companies are always busy trying to explore those. So a good rural manager can never run out of a job. Apart from this salary may not become a constraint. Young Fellows get a chance to work close to Mother Nature.
