Introduction

Established in 1987, XIMB would be celebrating its Silver Jubilee in 2012. Within the past 23 years, it has established an identity of its own, and it is getting to be known not only for its postgraduate programme but also for projects usually not found in management institutions. The institute owes its origin to a "social contract" between the Government of Orissa and the Orissa Jesuit Society. The Management of the institute is in the hands of a Board of Governors, consisting of senior representatives of the Government of India, the State Government, the Orissa Jesuit society, eminent industrialists and educationists.

Our mission is to develop professional managers for the corporate sector and for other socio-economic institutions, which serve the people of India and to foster the progress of the nation towards a more prosperous, just, and humane society. The training programme strive to equip the participants with more effective techniques, decision making abilities, instill in them a vigor to productivity, excellence, innovation, concern for one's neighbor and at the same rime creating relevant global awareness to keep pace with times.

The faculty, the students and the administration of XIM, contribute to the building up of an organizational culture, marked by confidence, mutual respect, concern for the other's needs, hard work, social values, personal maturity and integrity.
