Development Management Institute (DMI) was established in 2014 with the support of the Government of Bihar, India, in order to form a High Performing Knowledge Institution, patterned on the founding vision of Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA). IRMA was based on the firm belief that the livelihoods of small producers and marginalized people can be enhanced by organizing them to form participation-based, democratically managed institutions that leverage the strengths of collectives and build enduring partnerships with professionals for reaping the benefits of technology and market integration. The rationale of DMI is best captured in its mission: ‘To empower and usher in participatory governance and management of institutions, enterprises and resources for enhancing livelihoods and generating sustainable development’.
