Magis
THE GENESIS, MISSION & CULTURE

XLRI was founded in 1949 by Fr Quinn Enright, S.J. in the Steel City of Jamshedpur. India, immediately after its independence, was planning to transform itself - politically, economically and spiritually, by liberating itself from the shackles of poverty, illiteracy and pervasive illness. Fr. Enright visualized XLRI to be a partner in this liberation and development journey of India with a vision of renewing the face of the earth. Fr. Bill Tome and Fr. Edward McGrath joined hands with him to bring that vision to fruition. They together with the other Jesuit companions, worked tirelessly towards translating the Vision Renewing the face of the earth into action. The forces that made it possible for XLRI to realize the vision were (1) Commitment to Magis - to strive for the better, to excel; (2) Convictions through Discernment - a decision making process which is not self-centered but people-centred, nation-centred and God-centered and (3) Courageous execution of the decisions because it was Gods work. The translation of this vision is the culture of XLRI. The hall mark of this culture is, not to walk on the beaten path but to strike new routes; not to benchmark but to be benchmarked, to be second to none but to be the first to respond to the needs of the people and the nation, by taking up the tasks which are bold but necessary which nobody has hitherto taken up. This enterprising and pioneering spirit can be witnessed throughout the history of XLRI. From the beginning XLRI had a global outlook. XLRI was founded by an international group - the Jesuits. International persons were the leaders and teachers. International funds were sought to build XLRI and XLRI was the first to internationalize its programme.
