XlRI has expressed concern over the security of the campus. Recently, there have been a few incidents on the eastern side of the XlRI campus. Some miscreants also demolished a wall recently.
In order to prevent any further untoward instances XlRI has initiated steps to seal all the outward-facing entrances that might be a potential source of unauthorized infiltration into the campus.
Accordingly, XlRI submitted a letter to the deputy commissioner explaining all the facts and the reasons for closing all the outward-facing entrances. In view of the past untoward instances and the likelihood of future unauthorised infiltration, XlRI has also intimated all the concerned district authorities regarding the urgent need for round-the-clock campus security.
Concerned over the situation the B-school has approached administration and has sought cooperation in any such situation near the campus.
Addressing the media, director E Abraham said, “The batch sizes for the various flagship programs – PGDM-BM and PGDM-HRM are slated to increase next year and an extension campus is coming up to accommodate the additional intake of students. Thus, by 2014 XlRI will have be a residential campus for approximately 1200 students and 200 (faculty and non-teaching) members. Due to academic workload, classes are generally held until late in evening, sometimes as late as 11 pm. Therefore, it is extremely critical that adequate safety and security prevails in the XlRI campus.”
