Establishment
The Royal Institute of Management was established
in 1986 as a training Institute. In 1990, it was granted
an autonomous status under the Royal
Charter 1990. The Charter entrusts the Institute with
the task of developing management and public administration
human resource capacity in the country.
As the only Government management Institute,
RIM has been solely engaged in supporting the human resource
development need of the country, especially for the civil
service. RIM’s intervention in the national human
resource capacity building was primarily through training,
research and consultancy activities.
Presently, the Institute plays a crucial
role in the areas of:
- Training and capacity development of the civil service
in close coordination with the Royal Civil Service Commission;
- Capacity development needs of local governance institutions
and agencies aimed at facilitating the decentralization
initiative of the Royal Government;
- Supporting the private sector development through
niche training interventions in support of their human
resource development initiatives.

Location
Seven kilometers away from the capital
city of Thimphu, the institute is located below the oldest
Dzong of Bhutan , the Simtokha Dzong. The Ola Rongchu flowing
through its 25-acre campus adds to the serenity and the
natural beauty of the campus.
