The pressure of building a prosperous professional life weighs heavily on the students, parents and schools who together join hands in making a generation capable of strengthening the existing foundations of the nation.
In this journey of helping students navigate through the confusion and uncertainty that arises inevitably with identifying their true calling, Samarthya, the Human Potential Centre of XLRI focuses on guiding school students in various aspects through its flagship event, Disha.
