LRI’s vision
to instill
social responsibility and create
agents of change is embedded
in its acclaimed curriculum
and learning programmes. The Village
Exposure Programme, scheduled at the
beginning of each academic year, is a
method unique to this institute of excel-
lence.
The programme aims at introducing
students to the predominant problems
prevailing in villages and encouraging
them to suggest steps for improvement.
Students are taken on a three-day visit to
the villages in and around Jharkhand. Dur-
ing the visits students interact with NGOs,
village panchayats and villagers and try
to analyse prevalent issues from various
perspectives. The programme is designed
to help students explore the possibilities of
business opportunities in rural India and
in turn assist the villagers to have control
over their product and resources, and to
expand their market reach.
As future managers, XLers learn impor-
tant lessons on sustainable and inclusive
development during the course of three
days. It is an essential component in the
curriculum of any course in any discipline,
as a programme like this helps one become
more sensitive and responsible towards
making the world a better place to live.
