IRMA Chairman T Nanda Kumar in his speech emphasised that recognising the ‘disruption’ in the national and global scenario – with changes in policy, technology, markets, environment, and challenges in global economic movement, it is important that the graduates ensure that they build/assist institutions for building prosperity for rural India, by remaining sensitive to social issues and contribute to the society by having a commitment to serve rural India.
