Dear Readers,
It is a pleasure to share the November issue of
Magis
. XLRI is eternally indebted
to the
Founding Fathers of XLRI
who were literally giants both physically and
intellectually. Fr. McGrath was an extraordinary teacher and humanist. This issue
carries a few vignettes of
Fr. McGrath’s
life and a couple of tributes from alumni
and colleagues who were inspired by Father’s selflessness and sense of humour.
Encouraging Whole-Person Growth
At XLRI we strive towards
integral formation
whereby students are encouraged
to nurture their intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social persona to evolve as
well-rounded human beings furthering greater common good. Student societies
are encouraged to foster
whole-person growth
.
FINAX, MAXI, AXIOM,
XLANC, Sapphire
events are classic examples of stupendous efforts put in by
student societies beyond their curriculum framework.
Promoting Solidarity
The students and staff of XLRI are always encouraged to c
ontribute their mite
for the underserved sections of our society
. This issue of Magis features
SIGMA
and
Samarthya’s
initiatives in this direction.
Fostering Thought Leadership
XLRI hosts numerous conferences, seminars and orations on a regular basis
to foster thought leadership among internal and external stakeholders. This
issue features
Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus’
visit to XLRI and his
inspiring address. We are also covering Dr. Ashok Khosla’s address for the
4
th
Dr.
Verghese Kurien Oration
as a part of our significant annual orations organised
to foster and advance thought leadership.
Shaping Responsible Leaders
We hope that the articles covered in this issue give you a glimpse of our modest,
yet consistent efforts to help shape responsible business leaders of tomorrow.
