Dear Readers,
It is heartening to share the May issue of
Magis -
a tri-annual newsmagazine of XLRI.
The first quarter also marks that time of the year when the graduating class embarks upon
their next phase of work-life journey. Over the years we have strived to emphasise the fact
that classroom learning and real-life education must go hand-in-hand and students must
appreciate early in life the importance of fulfilling varied responsibilities viz; a dutiful
son or daughter, a responsible citizen, a diligent employee or employer, etc. Moreover,
undertaking varied responsibilities enriches and expands our different life-roles in more
ways than one.
Encouraging Whole-Person Growth
At XLRI we strive towards
integral formation
whereby students are encouraged to nur-
ture their intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social persona to evolve as well-rounded
human beings furthering greater common good. Students are encouraged to set-up stu-
dent societies with the intent to foster
whole-person growth
.

outcome of stupendous efforts put in by students beyond their curriculum framework.
Sensitising Social Conscience
Students at XLRI are actively encouraged to develop empathy and understanding for the
