This year, the Institute is making efforts to increase the share of women candidates as well as those from the weaker sections of the society.”
Adding further on the social commitments of the programme Prof Sen shares “Being conscious of the need for an increased emphasis on promoting entrepreneurial talent in resource-rich but economically poor states like Jharkhand, 50% of seats in this programme have been reserved for candidates of Jharkhand State. This is also in conformity with a special agreement entered into between XLRI and the Government of Jharkhand. The remaining 50% are drawn from different parts of the country. Over 85 per cent of the graduating students across the last five batches have been operating their respective entrepreneurial ventures successfully. We expect the forthcoming batch of students too to turn out successful entrepreneurs”.
