Fr. Arrupe Centre for Ecology and Sustainability (FACES), a multi-disciplinary centre at XLRI, organizes a mandatory Students' Rural Immersion Program.[9] 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.[10]

Student activities

XLRI has around 21 committees on campus dealing with academics, sports, socio-cultural, and administrative activities. The Students Affairs Council (SAC) [11] 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 the interface between the students and administration and can give input on academic, school plant, and activities issues. It assists with XLRI's annual Inter B-School festivals, Ensemble and Valhalla. It envisions future activities and oversees all student-related activities on campus, such as MAXI Fair – a country-wide marketing research fair, Kshitij school fest, IdeaKon – an entrepreneurial event, Gnosis – a finance symposium, and Synergy – an operations and consulting event, and Disha – a career fair.[12]
