Higher education must pay more attention to helping students understand how to lead 'ethical, reflective, fulfilling lives.

XLRI, Jamshedpur organized the 22nd Annual JRD Tata Oration on Business Ethics on Dec 7, 2013 at the Tata Auditorium.  The theme of the oration was – “Ethical Challenges for India Today”. Union HRD Minister Dr MM Pallam Raju delivered the oration.

On the occasion, Dr. Raju delved upon three different facets that are linked to Ethics in India today – Education, Business & Politics. He said “Higher education must pay more attention to helping students understand how to lead ''ethical, reflective, fulfilling lives”. He also added that, “Despite the importance of moral development to the individual student and the society, one cannot say that higher education has demonstrated a deep concern for the problem of ethics”

He was however happy to learn that XLRI introduced a core course on managerial ethics for its programmes and that a medal is awarded to the best student in managerial ethics at the institute's annual convocation.

Union HRD Minister Dr Raju also inaugurated the new International Centre at XLRI where the second semester of the global management course by XLRI, Weatherhead School of Management of Case Western University, Cleveland- USA and School of Economics & Management of Tongji University, Shanghai- China will commence on January 10, 2014.

The session was attended by distinguished guests which include, HM Nerurkar, MD, Tata Steel Limited & Chairman, Board of Governors, XLRI; Fr. E Abraham, S. J. Director of XLRI Jamshedpur and Dr. Pranabesh Ray, Dean [Academics] at XLRI.

Mr. H M Nerurkar commented that, “Today, ethical deficit and lack of integrity in public affairs have become such a major issue that public confidence and trust in public officials and private organizations have taken a severe beating in our nation”.
