XLRI – Xavier School of Management inducted a new batch comprising of 537 students in a highly impressive ceremony for the new academic session.

XLRI, Jamshedpur is the most premier institute situated in the steel city of Jamshedpur and over the last 60 years XLRI has been ranked in the top and is known as a Business School of Management of a repute. XLRI positively strives to contributes its mite for the professional growth to many management organizations across the country.

During the induction ceremony Father E Abraham delivered an astounding speech to the students as -

“Many organizations consider their greatest asset to be their good name or reputation.Big and small firms and lately even educational institutions should nurture their organizations and brands in a sustainable and responsible manner, day-in-and-day-out, or else one fine morning decades of brand-building might suddenly collapse. Having a high disposable income in your hands does not in any way justify irresponsible celebration thereby harming yourself and other innocent people, and consequently wrecking one’s career and bringing a bad name to one’s organization or educational institution.”

“XLRI views ethical and responsible behavior as being an integral part of their graduate’s attributes. A student’s ethical awareness includes the ability to understand ethical standards and professional conduct both within the classroom and outside. It is expected that you will hold and nurture personal values and beliefs consistent with your role as responsible members of local, national and professional communities”, he added.

Fr. Abraham said in his welcome address to the students, “Our Vision and Mission have 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 benchmarked; 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. It is our belief that in doing so, we will thereby be grooming managers who will serve as catalysts of change and become responsible business leaders of tomorrow that will carve the destiny of a new India.”
