Welcoming the new batch of students, Fr. E. Abraham, S.J., Director, XLRI said, “XLRI, besides being a higher learning institution is also a social institution. We have to carry out our responsibilities as a social entity. A strong connection with the society will provide the edifice for value-oriented learning. This will instill in future business leaders a sensitivity that will inspire you to search for solutions to vexed socio-economic problems in the environment in which we are living. The onus is on institutions like XLRI to produce men and women of substance and character, not merely competent professionals.  XLRI views ethical and responsible behavior as being an integral part of their graduate’s attributes. Student’s ethical awareness includes the ability to understand ethical standards and professional conduct. It is expected that you will hold personal values and beliefs consistent with your role as responsible flag bearers of this Institution.

“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 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.  This enterprising and pioneering spirit can be witnessed throughout the history of XLRI,” he said.

“XLRI’s commitment to a broad sustainability vision for the campus grows out of a longstanding dedication to environmental 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.
