Play Time!


It's that time of the year when the future managers drop their books and don the greasepaint. After a successful revival of their annual public production series with Ayn Rand's 'The night of January 16th', the students of XLRI are back with 'Silence, the court is in session'. Produced by the Dramatics and Cultural Association at XLRI ( DRACULA) the play features senior and junior students of XLRI in Tendulkar's Marathi play translated into English.

The play will be staged at the Tata Auditorium in Jamshedpur at 7 pm on the 10th Feb 2007.

Republic Day '07

This year, the 26th January Flag-Hoisting had a refreshingly different flavour....

We have 60 Defense Personnnel with us on campus - undergoing a 6-month course in management since Jan 14th... and so, naturally their presence was a major - even determining - factor in this difference.

er.. in case, you missed the "difference" in the flavour... here again (look at the right side of the pix:

The Republic Day address - traditionally given by one of the most recent faculty - was given by Rear-Admiral Prof Rakesh Chopra, who joined us in the Strategy Area last term (after all, who can be a better person to teach Strategy.. the term, "Stategy" itself derives from "strategos" - the art of the general)

Of course, amidst all these changes and transitions - that any institution will go through its evolution - there are certain features that do not change.

Just to highlight the presence of "Kalu" on the occasion - even if his/her colour belies his name

All work and no play makes GANGO...

For those who believe that xlri is all about work and no play, here is proof that there are no dull Jacks at XLRI. (Remember the adage, " ...all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy?"). When it comes to joining with our students XL profs are not all that cold hearted. Check this series of events that unfolded in Dubai in October.

Serious Folks at the High Table
Clear The floor guys....., let the faculty teach you how its done!! Its not just management we know, you know..

Cheers from the dean

What could be rarer than a picture of our dean saying cheers. This rare event was captured during a dinner at the MDP residence last week. The dinner was to mark the launch of the General Management Programme for Defence Personnel held on 14th of January 2007.

To quote from the Directors Mail:

"We will have the inaugural function on Sunday,January 14, 2007 at 6.30 pm in the SmallAuditorium. Maj. Gen. Harwant Krishan, DirectorGeneral, Dte. General Resettlement, New Delhiwill be the Chief Guest "

BTW, for those of you who don't believe in miracles, thats apple juice he is holding. ...Could have fooled me!

Well its cheers to XLCampus Blog once more.
