International Journal of Rural Management (IJRM)

The International Journal of Rural Management (IJRM) is a leading scholarly journal established in 2005 that provides a focused platform for cutting‑edge research on rural management and rural development practices. Published tri‑annually by SAGE Publications India Pvt. Ltd. in association with the Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA), IJRM serves as a critical bridge between academic inquiry and real‑world practice in rural contexts. The journal welcomes rigorous conceptual, empirical, and policy‑oriented contributions that explore how managerial strategies, institutional arrangements, and organizational innovations influence rural economic activities and community wellbeing. It emphasizes action‑oriented research that addresses pressing issues impacting rural societies—such as cooperative governance, digital and financial inclusion, climate‑resilient livelihoods, market access for small producers, and sustainable rural enterprises. IJRM helps define the field of rural management by encouraging interdisciplinary scholarship that draws on economics, sociology, organizational studies, development policy, and environmental sciences. Its inclusive approach ensures that research resonates with practitioners, scholars, and policymakers interested in strengthening rural institutions and promoting equitable and resilient rural development. The journal’s editorial standards and international advisory board further position it as a significant contributor to global discourse on rural transformation and management excellence.
