“This Vision and Mission has translated
itself into a unique culture at XLRI. The
hallmark of this culture is: not to walk
along the beaten path, but to strike new
routes; not to benchmark, but to be bench-
marked; to be second to none, but to be the
first to respond to the needs of the people
and the nation, by taking up the tasks which
are bold but necessary, which nobody has
hitherto taken up. This enterprising and
pioneering spirit can be witnessed through-
out the history of XLRI,” he said.
“XLRI’s commitment to a broad sustain-
ability vision for the campus grows out of
a longstanding dedication to environmen-
tal stewardship. The campus is applying
innovative, community-based approaches
to ambitious sustainability goals that span
all campus operations. XLRI is advancing
sustainability on a broader scale through
its research, education and public service
programs,” Fr. Abraham further added in
his welcome address.
Prof. Jerome Joseph, Chair Professor of
Industrial Relations at XLRI also addressed
the students on the occasion and spoke on
Future of Management Education.
Introducing the new batch of students
to the accomplished faculty members
of the institute, Dr. Ashis K Pani, Dean
[Academics], XLRI commented, “XLRI is
known for its academic excellence as well
as instilling in its students the right values
through courses, activities, events and the
environment it creates. A unique feature in
the first term will be the Village Exposure
Programme and the Outbound Programme.
Both the programmes have been designed
to create awareness among the students
of life in rural India, as well as the impor-
tance of team spirit. Such an integral and
value-based formation will impel the future
managers to be innovative, competent and
creative leaders.”
