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:
“[Men say:] “Don’t you know that we are your natural protectors?” But what is a woman afraid of on a lonely road after dark? The bears and wolves are all gone; there is nothing to be afraid of now but our natural protectors.”
—Frances A. Griffin, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 19, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
