Outbound programme

The presence of Tata Steel Adventure Foundation near XLRI is a driving force for the adventure enthusiasts who leverage their unique infrastructure and expertise to satiate their desire for adventure. This 3-day outbound programme to TSAF camp at Tumung(Jharkhand) is organized for each entire batch, section-wise. Activities like rock climbing, cave exploration, and rafting are engaged in by the students.[15]

Apart from allowing students to experience adventure first hand, this also help to hone their managerial and organizing skills.[16]

Village program

Students visiting village, XLRI

Fr. Arrupe Centre for Ecology and Sustainability (FACES), a multi-disciplinary centre at XLRI, organizes the mandatory Students' Rural Immersion Program.[17] In this FACES partners with 10 NGOs (Society For People's Awareness and Rural Development Action – SPARDA, Development Alternatives Group, SEEDS, TSRDS, Samiket Jan Vikas Kendra – SJVK, Tagore Society for Rural Developmenent-Patamda, Centre for World Solidarity, Kalamandir, and TRTC-Chaibasa) to organize week-end visits during the first term. The groups share their reports with the partnering NGOs, as input to their ongoing activities. In the village, students talk to villagers about their community, family, education, sources of income, ideas on opportunity as well as concern for future. Students thus receive first-hand experience of village life.[18]

Student activities

XLRI has around 21 committees on campus dealing with academics, sports, socio-cultural, and administrative activities. The Students Affairs Council (SAC) [19] is responsible for all student-related issues and activities. SAC is headed by a General Secretary and includes four elected representatives from the senior batch.

SAC is also the interface between the students and the administration. It is responsible for all student-related issues on campus and envisions future activities. SAC organizes XLRI's annual Inter B-School festivals, Ensemble and Valhalla. It has a voice on issues such as restructuring academic content, enhancement of infrastructure and facilities, and coordinating extra-curricular activities.

Multiple major events such as MAXI Fair - India's biggest Marketing research fair, Kshitij - One of the largest School fest, IdeaKon - An entrepreneurial event, Gnosis - Finance Symposium, Synergy - An operations and consulting event, Disha - A career fair, are conducted round the year. [20]

The meeting is a conference of industry leaders, business school students, and thinkers from the Indian MBA community.[27][28] Around 4,000 teams from various reputed business schools participate, including IIMs, FMS, TISS and IIFT.[29]

The festival is organised by the students of XLRI. Themes of the conference have included "Progressive India: Winds for Change" in 2015, " 'Reinventing leadership, redefining strategies" in 2014, "Beyond Conventions" in 2012, "Bridging The Gap" in 2011, and "Towards A Better Tomorrow" in 2010.
