Objectives behind CSREM

Vision Statement

To be a world class resource centre in the sphere of Rural Enterprise Management by catalyzing sustainable rural development.

Objectives of the Institute

The Centurion School of Rural Enterprise Management (CSREM) is set up by the CSREM Trust. CSREM is offering a two year Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDBM) program approved by AICTE, New Delhi.

It is now a well accepted fact that professionalism and professional interventions will hold a key place in shaping the future of rural India. The Objective of the Rural Management Program of CSREM will be to produce Professional Managers for the Rural Sector using a composite and homogenous blend of Corporate and Rural Management Academic Curricula; the result of which will be a new breed of Professional Rural Managers with an Entrepreneurial streak, who can be productively engaged by Corporate and Social Development Sectors. The CSREM graduates will be groomed to Create rather than Seek Employment opportunities through Entrepreneurship.

Today under the new Economic Reforms Regime, the Corporate Houses are increasingly required to initiate Special Programs aimed at Social Development. The Symbiotic relationship between Business and Society has triggered off a Growing involvement in the Social Sector. There is, therefore, an urgent need to bridge the Corporate Sector and Rural Society. This would not only help in setting up a process for contributing to the needs of the informal sectors but also provide a platform for the Corporate Sector to strengthen Business Opportunities. As a result, more and more Corporate bodies are looking for a special team of Professionally Trained Rural Managers who understand the complex dynamics and behavior of Rural Society. This is one of the Market Segments, which the program intends to cater to, apart from the Social Development Sector comprising of Cooperatives, NGOs, Government Development Agencies, and National and International Donors engaged in promoting Rural Development.
