The Association of Indian Management Schools (AIMS) conferred the prestigious Ravi J Mathai national fellowship award on Father E Abraham, director of the premier city-based business school XLRI, for his exemplary contribution to the field of management education. The award, instituted in the memory of Ravi J Matthai, first director of IIM Ahmedabad, was given to Fr. Abraham at AIMS national convention held in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
"I feel honoured to receive the prestigious Ravi J Mathai National fellowship award. I dedicate this to all the board members, faculty, staff and students of XLRI and XIM Bhubaneswar, where I spent my last 30 years," he said. He further added: "Mathai is a role model for all of us. He was a superb man-manager with the gift of drawing out the best in people."
As director of XLRI, Fr Abraham has been instrumental in launching collaborative ventures with universities abroad. However, he is concerned about the less privileged and the marginalized sections. In his second tenure as director from January 2008, XLRI has had received several distinguished laurels.
"Today, XLRI is an institution of learning par excellence largely because of Fr Abraham's dedicated support and involvement with endeavors that include social responsibility activities alongside imparting world-class management education," said a faculty at XLRI.

XLRI degree day with India Inc.
From The Telegraph

XLRI, Jamshedpur,
hosted its 56th annual convocation at Tata Auditorium on Wednesday,
officially conferring post-graduate diplomas on 257 smiling faces.
Students of
business management as well as personnel management and industrial
relations — shortened to BM and PM&IR by everyone — numbering 235,
three of fellow programmes in management and 19 from the Dubai campus,
got certificates as well as business sustainability tips from invited
stalwarts.
Infosys founder
and chairman emeritus N.R. Narayana Murthy as well as Standard Chartered
Bank group executive director and CEO (Asia) Jaspal Singh Bindra
addressed the outgoing batch of cub managers.
Corporate legend Murthy also received the 46th presentation of Sir Jehangir Medal for Industrial and Social Peace.
“On behalf of
about 140,000 Infosians, I receive this honour with much gratitude. I
will try to work harder and smarter. In the last three decades, I have
learnt many lessons that includes openness to new ideas, meritocracy and
excellence in execution. The barrier for success is generally within
one’s self, generally between the mind and the mindset,” said Murthy to
resounding applause.
He added that the mind should triumph over mindset, giving birth to new and efficient ways of working.
“Even though your
schooling is over, your education continues. From my experience, I have
learnt that you have to keep jumping to identify and take the right
opportunities in life,” Bindra said in a lively address peppered with
many anecdotes from his life.
“Just work as a leader, don’t work out of fear,” added Bindra.
Also present were
Tata Steel managing director and XLRI board of governors chairman H.M.
Nerurkar and XLRI director Father E. Abraham, other board and faculty
members, students and their parents.
Students also came for their share of the spotlight.
The XLRI medal for best all-rounder went to Deepanjan Deb and best all rounder (woman) went to Neeti Kumar.
In the BM, the
first five toppers were Siddhartha Saran, Aadith Raman, Aniruddh
Vallabh Kamat, Shambhavi and Sunny Suresh Shahadadpuri.
Their PM&IR
counterparts were Kakunuri Bhargavi, Meenakshi Narayanan, Manan Deepak
Shah, Sameer Kumar Agrawal and Prateek Rungta.
