Management Development Programme of Institute of Rural Management has been instrumental in conducting high end training like Training of Trainers (ToT). Infact ToT is the salient feature of MDP. It is a ten-day training workshop, specifically designed for the professionals involved in design, organization and delivery of training.

ToT is a training endeavor of NRSP-IRM with the objective to create a team of professionals capable of designing, developing and delivering training programme. The pre-requisite for ToT is the fervent and active participation of the participants, encouraging a two way flow of information which makes ToT more interactive.
