“XLRI has been a beacon of excellence in management education for 75 years. Fostering social consciousness among students is one of the hallmarks of Jesuit Business Education, and at XLRI we lay great emphasis on inclusive and sustainable growth of people and communities and strongly advocate social responsibility alongside corporate activities”, said Fr S George S.J., Director, XLRI Jamshedpur.
With the legacy as the first B-school to introduce sustainability in the curricula, XLRI is actively recruiting more faculty members specializing in sustainability issues. Greater engagement with corporate entities on sustainability projects are being worked towards. Another aspect of social engagement at XLRI is managing the Jamshedpur Management Association, probably the most high-performing chapter among all Indian student management associations. This initiative attempts to bring together government, academia, and industry to spread management education among the entities and people who ideally don’t have access to this.
