in June an
illustrious batch of 537
students joined XLRI
to become part of its
greater mission of bring-
ing a change in the so-
ciety. The three flagship
programmes — Human Resource, Business
Management and General Management —
have students coming from different parts
of the country, with diverse educational
background and with varying years of work
experience.
The diversity of 2017-19 batch is sure to
bring in informed, innovative and analyti-
cal discussions to the classroom.
The staff and faculty of XLRI welcomed
the students at a solemn, inaugural prayer
service organised in the campus. The
welcome ceremony was addressed by Fr. E
Abraham, SJ, Director, Dr. Ashis K Pani,
Dean [Academics] and Fr. Jerry Cutinha,
SJ, Dean [Administration & Finance].
Welcoming the new batch of students,
Fr. Abraham said, “XLRI, besides be-
ing a higher learning institution is also a
social institution. We have to carry out our
responsibilities as a social entity. A strong
connection with the society will provide
the edifice for value-oriented learning.
This will instill in future business leaders
a sensitivity that will inspire you to search
for solutions to vexed socio-economic
problems in the environment in which we
are living. The onus is on institutions like
XLRI to produce men and women of sub-
stance and character, not merely competent
professionals. XLRI views ethical and
responsible behavior as being an integral
part of their graduate’s attributes. Student’s
ethical awareness includes the ability to
understand ethical standards and profes-
sional conduct. It is expected that you will
hold personal values and beliefs consistent
with your role as responsible flag bearers of
XLri
