On the basis of the recommendations of All India Rural Credit Survey Committee, constituted by RBI in 1953, a three-tier structure for the training of the cooperative personnel, functioning at various levels was established. Under the three-tier setup for the training, it had been planned that national institute of cooperative management will take care of the training needs of the senior personnel of cooperatives of the country. The Institutes of Cooperative Management will cater to the training needs of the middle level officers/managers of cooperatives and the junior training Institutes will be providing training to the other staff of cooperatives.
Under the arrangement mentioned above, institutes of cooperative management started coming into existence. Institute of Cooperative Management started functioning at Meerut, a district of Uttarpradesh in ther year 1965 and was later shifted to 6, Old Mussoorie Road, Rajpur, Dehradun. Institute was formed in order to cater to the training and consultancy needs of the cooperative organizations of Uttar Pradesh. Later, in Nov-2000, institute was assigned to provide training & education and undertake research and consultancy for the cooperatives of newly formed state – Uttranchal (now renamed as Uttarakhand).
Hence it can be said that ICM has been functioning as an intellectual nerve center for the cooperative movement but also rural development as well as different types of enterprises. Functioning since last 57 years as management training, research & consultancy, the institute is catering to the needs of various cooperative institutions, government department, NGOs and other state institutions as well as other organizations.
