To earnestly seek the divine blessings of God verses from the holy books were recited by XLRI staff members which motivated the students.

Prof. Sanjay Patro (Dean of Academics, XLRI) delivered the welcome address. Fr. Donald D’Silva SJ (Dean A&F, XLRI) recited the prayer after which all the students of the new academic year 2024-26 were introduced to the professors of the Jamshedpur XLRI campus.

Fr. S Geroge, director of XLRI addressed the gathering and said, “I welcome you all to the XLRI family. Each one of you is here

purely on your merit, nothing else. You’ve reached the peak but there are other hills you’ll have to climb. Make sure you make the most of the opportunities at XLRI. When you succeed, XLRI succeeds. And when you fail, we fail. Your every action brings glory to XLRI.”

The academic inaugural event was then followed by an ice-breaking event in which all the students had participated and several games and related activities were conducted.

The two-hour event was refreshing and made all the students interact comfortably with each other.

The new students were then taken through a special orientation programme drawn up by XLRI to

update their knowledge before regular classes commenced.
