History
XLRI was founded in 1949, by Father Quinn Enright SJ, in the city of Jamshedpur. It was established with a vision to be a partner in the liberation and development journey of the independent India. Father Bill Tome lent a helping hand to Father Quinn Enright in this regards, and both of them together with other members of the Jesuit society brought the idea to fruition. XLRI began with courses for training trade union leaders in management practices in 1949. It introduced a two year full-time course in Industrial Relations in 1953 and later on Business Management (BM) in 1966. In 1968, a part-time three year programme in Business Management was introduced. Management Development Programme (MDP), an intensive short term programme for Middle & Senior level executives was introduced in 1969. A two year full-time course in Personnel Management and Industrial Relations (PMIR) was introduced in 1985, which was soon followed by a Fellowship Programme in Management (FPM) in 1989. XLRI has expanded its wings, both nationally as well as internationally in the last decade. In the year 2000, it came up with a Three-year Executive Postgraduate programme in Business Management, in India & Dubai. Post 2002, it ventured into providing training to executives through satellite based live classrooms, in Business management and Human Resource management.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
