India, 12th December, 2023: In a significant milestone, XLRI, India’s esteemed business school, with a rich 75-year legacy, officially marks its Platinum Jubilee Year (from 11 October 2023 to 10 October 2024). This announcement heralds a momentous celebration of the institution’s enduring commitment to excellence and leadership. To commemorate the Platinum Jubilee, a series of engaging programs are currently underway at both the Jamshedpur and Delhi NCR campuses, symbolizing XLRI’s dedication to fostering academic brilliance and values-driven education.
As part of the ongoing festivities, a cultural extravaganza unfolded on December 10 at the Akashwani Auditorium at Parliament Street, Delhi. The highlight of the evening was a captivating Odissi dance performance by Srjan, a renowned troupe founded by the late Guru Shri Kelucharan Mohapatra and currently led by Mr. Ratikanta Mohapatra.
