IMC 2024 part of Platinum Jubilee Celebrations at XLRI Jamshedpur
XLRI Xavier School of Management (formerly Xavier Labour Relations Institute) was founded in 1949 in the steel city of Jamshedpur as the oldest business school in India. Over the years, XLRI has developed a distinct identity. The hallmark of this identity is not to walk on the beatenpath,but to strike new routes; not to benchmark, but to be benchmarked; to be second tonone,but to be the first to respond to the needs of the people and the nation; taking up bold tasks, but necessary, that which nobody has hitherto taken up.This enterprising and pioneering spirit can be witnessedthroughout the history of XLRI.

Welcome IMC 2024 as part of XLRI Platinum Jubilee Celebrations, FrS George said:Established in 1949, XLRI Jamshedpur isIndiasfirst management schoolandwe are celebrating our platinum jubilee starting from October 11, 2023, to October 10, 2024.
