I am based out of Basel and am planning an Alumni meet for those based in Switzerland on June 16 and if those based in and around Europe could join, that'd be wonderful.
Dear Alumnus,
Further to Prof. Shukla's initiative, I have spoken to a few people and seems like the evening of June 16 (It's a Saturday) is likely to be the date, most of you agree for the Alumni meet to be held. I do not have your contact details (phone number) and hence would like you to email me your availability for the same.
Would really appreciate if you could reply to me by this Saturday (June 2) so I can count on the number of people attending the meet to further plan this out.
Thanks in advance and look forward to your response.
Warm regards,
Nita Balmohan Rajesh

Jamshedpur, May 28: Continuing with their global expedition, XLRI entered into a tie-up with Bordeaux Business School, France. The move comes in the wake of XLRI’s attempt to make its curriculum more suitable for catering to the global market. “In the rapidly changing global business environ- ment, globalisation is the need of the hour. Hence, the need for B-schools to provide their students with a global outlook towards manage-ment. Realising the importance of this, XLRI has been taking rapid strides to make its curriculum truly global and provide its students with a real feel of international management,” said Vineet Jain, secretary of International Student Exchange Programme. The tie-up would help students of both B-schools through exchange educational programmes. A faculty exchange programme between the two institutes would also be possible. Ranked as one of the top-ranked B-schools, Bordeaux is among one of the oldest business schools in France. Another motive behind the tie-up is to provide competent managers to the Indian corporate world. Moreover, several joint research joint research projects as well as degree programmes with the B-school would also be initiated through this joint venture. “As part of the international student exchange programme, XLRI is planning to send 26 students this year to various B-schools to spend a term abroad, covering six countries spread across two continents,” said Jain. This is the highest so far recorded by the B-school in its almost 50-year-old history. While the tie ups are giving XLRI a chance to expand in the global scenario, the move will also help promote cross cultural learning and international co-operation among both Indian as well as foreign management students. |

XLRI: Retreading golden past
Jamshedpur, May 22: As the new batch of students enters XLRI this year, they would find themselves being escorted by seniors. However, the intent would not be ragging but familiarising the newcomers to the surroundings.
Such systems can be found in certain organisations also, where an older employee is assigned as the guide or “buddy” to a new staff.
The XLRI students’ body decided to take this step to break barriers in a more friendly and healthy way when new classes for the new batch starts on June 16.
According to this initiative, being taken by the external linkages cell of XLRI, the seniors would act as mentors and guides for the freshers.
In a letter submitted to the authorities, the students have said one or a group of seniors would take on the responsibility of an equal number of juniors and help them in understanding the institute, its functioning and the course structure better. “Such a system was prevailing in XLRI a few years ago, but those days there was more of bullying and it was stopped. But now students have come up with this proposal, which would help break barriers between the two batches in a big way,” said Madhukar Shukla, a faculty of organisational behaviour and strategic management.
The mentoring or guardianship programme would begin with the new students being taken on a guided tour of the campus. Later, it would get into the details of trying to understand the course content better, the nitty-gritty of joining one of the many communities on the campus among others.

In corporate corridors
In corporate corridors | ||
| Having served the armed forces, they opt for uncharted territory | ||
Leaving fighter planes and mountain treks behind, for the eight women who were once part of the Indian Defence Services, computers and books have become their new best friends. For they are currently students of XLRI School of Management in Jamshedpur. Enrolled in the general management course launched for the defence personnel in January this year, these eight brave women are now part of the XLRI family. With many experiences to share — be it treating soldiers during the Northeast insurgency or flying a fighter jet — each has a different story to narrate. “After years we are back to civilian life. It is different but equally hectic,” says Commander Anuradha Kanchi, a naval officer from Vishakapatanam, who has served in the Indian Navy for 14 long years. Having sailed around almost half the world, it was the need to do more in life that brought Kanchi to the management school. “I belonged to the second batch of women officers in the Indian Navy and completed my tenure only last year. It was time for me to do something new and a career in the corporate world seemed like the right option,” says the commander. But is campus life easy for these officers? Major K. Akila, an engineer, who has worked in places like Pune and Hyderabad before moving to the BPO industry, says, “Getting used to it after a long gap is indeed difficult but we are enjoying it.” Her classmates include Captain Sujata Jha from Muzzafarpur in Bihar, who also has a two-year-old daughter, and Major Gitanjali Chauhan Chakrapani from Dehradun, who served in the logistics department of the Indian Army for seven years. Major Navdeep Kaur from Punjab, who is also an electronics engineer, is the placement co-ordinator for students from the armed forces. “Life in the forces is not easy and I have worked in the most adverse of situations like the terrains of Kashmir,” says Navdeep. Flight lieutenant Pratibha Sharma and Deepti Gautam, a medico, have many experiences to share as well. While Pratibha, who is also an avid sky diver, has worked in places like Lonavala, Chandigarh and Ladakh, Deepti cannot forget that one day at Manipur when she had to rush into the forest to save soldiers who suffered multiple bullet injuries. Kavita Rawat, another officer from Dehradun, also shares the memories of her first posting at Chausari in the Northeast. “Every morning we had to carry heavy arms and patrol for almost nine kilometres in the dense bamboo forests,” she says. But Pratibha does not quite need to illustrate a particular incident, as for her, life at the air force is always an adventure. The other officers could not agree more. However, Navdeep quips in, “Something that is worth mentioning is, unlike the popular belief that women are not treated equally in the forces, we had no problem whatsoever.” Her friends agreed at first but only to differ later. The one problem is that some soldiers do not like taking orders from women, but actually that is in every profession,” points out Anuradha. “We have to struggle more, as first we have to prove that we are equal to the men and then, better than them,” adds Pratibha candidly. With only two more months to go at XLRI, these women would bid a final goodbye to life in the forces and walk through corporate corridors. “At the forces we learn a lot. Life has been great there, but one has to move on,” says Sujata. So, what would they miss the most when their corporate career begins? “Perhaps our uniforms. Even when I looked at my uniform last as it lay hung in the corner of my room, I was full of tears,” says a nostalgic Pratibha. With great memories as their companion, these women would surely emerge victorious, though the battlefield would be a different one. | ||

As such, we would be very interested in knowing the grievances / suggestions for improvement from all of you who graced the occasion, and we would also welcome any suggestions about how we can improve publicity for XLRI, especially in Mumbai.
Lastly, we would also like to thank the following enterprising souls who made this alumni meet a grand success:

Networking......Come Together--on the 26th
Hi Folks:
Used to be a time when I was doing my Summers in Bangalore in '75, when 7(seven) XL'ers got together over a beer and some snacks .That was all the XL'ers in Bangalore we could track down then--from Mico, HMT,MSIL ,KSFC andTOMCO.(Bangalore used to be a Public Sector bastion in those days)
Switch to the present and check out the corporates that boast of an XL'er in their ranks today...a truly amazing list.
There will be a host of differing benefits that will accrue from you being there and meeting up for our Annual Bash this year. We anticipate about 300 XL'ers being there, plus their families.
Bangalore is the most "Happening" Chapter and we trust you will have a wonderful evening--filled with nostalgia,happy reunions,surprise encounters,and happenstance meet-ups with folks from....

XL Ki Kudiyan
Friends,
The enormous popularity of XL Ki Kudiyan, XL Meri Jaan, GMD, and Sabka Katega across campuses in the country has boosted XL's brand in ways no one has ever thought possible.
You can get to hear both songs this 26th (Sat) at the XLBang Annual Dinner hosted at the Royal Orchid Park Plaza Hotel on Airport Road. Though Bodhi Tree won't be there, we have their lead guitarist, Jishnu ('06) who will pair up with no one less that Rohit Munjal ('03), former XLBanger and the maestro who wrote XL Ki Kudiyan and XL Meri Jaan.
Look forward to some great jamming.

XLRI Spreads Wings to Hyderabad
[http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070504/asp/jamshedpur/story_7732686.asp]
Jamshedpur, May 3 (The Telegraph): Come June 2009, and an XLRI campus would come up in Hyderabad.
Officials of the B-school said they had recently completed the necessary formalities for acquiring 30 acres of land at Alwal near Hyderabad.
The construction work of the new campus is expected to begin by the end of this month and the second campus is expected to start functioning in June 2009. The new campus would be adjacent to the Loyola College in Hyderabad.
XLRI, Hyderabad, is being set up as part of the B-school’s expansion programme. The XLRI here has no scope for expansion due to land constraints.
The Jamshedpur campus is spread across 35 acres.
The dean (academics) of XLRI, P. Venugopal, said the B-school had two options — either to increase the intake at the Jamshedpur campus or develop another. After a lot of analysis, he said, it was decided to start a new one.
The B-school authorities wanted to set up the campus in a major metro. As finding faculty would be a major concern in smaller cities, the business school authorities debated between Delhi and Hyderabad. But the southern city won as Delhi has several management colleges.
Venugopal said talks are also on with the government of Andhra Pradesh to get more land for developing additional facilities.
Apart from the flagship courses in business management and personnel management, the new campus would offer management development programmes (MDP), added Venugopal.
The MDP division at XLRI was established in 1969 to contribute more effectively to the professional development of Indian managers and administrators. Now, the division offers more than 90 MDPs every year.
As Hyderabad is well connected with other parts of the country, said XLRI officials, MBA aspirants wouldn’t find it difficult to pursue management courses from this campus. The city’s air-connectivity would also prove to be a major advantage for the B-school’s new campus.
