"Tribhuvan" Sahkari University (Abbreviate: TSU) (earlier known as: Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA)) is an autonomous university and business school located in Anand city of Gujarat, India with the mandate of contributing to the professional management of rural organizations. SMU (earlier as IRMA) was founded on the belief, born out of Verghese Kurien's work in the dairy co-operatives which had a great impact on the dairy industry in the country (Operation Flood), that the key to effective rural development is professional management.
The institute was established with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Corporation, the Government of India, the former Indian Dairy Corporation, the NDDB (National Dairy Development Board), and the Government of Gujarat. The IRMA campus was designed by the architect Achyut Kanvinde.
The annual assembly at the college is known for its display of Indian culture and traditions. In 2022, the convocation was honored by the presence of Amit Shah, the Hon'ble Minister of Home Affairs and Minister of Cooperation, Government of India, as the Chief Guest. Additionally, the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi attended IRMA's first annual conference in 1982.
