XLRI-FOR THE GREATER GOOD

One of the best minds of the country who manage to break through the asylums of
mediocrity and make it to the star cluster b-school of the country are seen walking
through a jungle with impoverished tribals trying to nail the not so glamorous case
studies. Not many b schools of the country would risk making the above scene
home page of their website. Nobody does that. XLRI proudly does this. Period.
Xlri initiatives have always been caressed by social sensitivity in spite of being a
business school that deals with corporate domains of marketing, finance and
operations. The very fact that it has chosen to keep itself and its students
associated with such social sensitivity activities speaks volumes about the claim
that this veteran institution exist not only for the educational legacy and
disseminating cognizance but also for the greater good; for the bigger good; for the
humane good.
MAGIS meaning for the greater good forms one of the founding principles of this
institution. Probably this is the reason why even after 64 years of successful
educational existence, it manages to make it mandatory for its students, the would
be lions of the corporate jungle, to attend the rural immersion programs.
The institution where professors are not only teachers but also fathers, where one of
the premiere programs that are taught are aimed at rural development, has
numerous societies which deals with social work , social sensitization, rural
development. SIGMA, CII-YI are some of the official societies which are involved in
such activities. in fact many case study competitions have their bedrock and theme
in rural development which see the best minds of India interacting on such domains
Apart from social sensitization XLRI is also involved in developing CSR initiatives and
joy of giving week activities.
They rightly say, XLRI in spite of being located in one of the remotest part of the
country continues to be a top notch business school. with the best placements; the
best internships and what not. The reason defies logic and wit but accentuates one
thing. Its not only about the individual good. Its about the greater good. This keeps
XLRI at the acme.
