You are here!!!
...somewhere between the Enright Hall...
...and the entrance to campus from the hostel side...
...and this is how the entry view looks now...
On your left - is the patch which used to lead to good ole' Dadus!... So, where's Dadu's???
Dadu's (or rather, Niranjan's, now) shifted inside the campus, behind the Enright Hall mess...
The wall done up by the students of 06-07 batch
Coming back to the walk... to your right, is the lane leading to the back entrance of the Admin Block
And this would be the view of campus over JLT steps/lawn .. !!??? the football ground? the tennis court? the basky court???
Still intact - in the ground in front of Tata Audi (which has remained the same - though the building in front is now the Tome's Residence)
There are 2 flood-lit Tennis Courts...
The Basky Court..
and, of course, the Football-cum-Cricket ground...
... besides doubling up as the venue for the Maxi Fair
Tata Auditorium, of course, continues to be the venue for...
Convocation,
Annual Play,
JRD Tata Ethics Oration, etc.
Continuing our walk, we take a detour from the other side of the Tata Audi
If you look back, this is the path you traversed...
On your left, is the lane behind the Tata Audi, leading to the hostel gate
On your right, is the MDP Block...
... the venue for the executive development and in-company courses.
...and opposite the MDP Block is the MDP Residence, where the participants stay.
The fountain at MDP Residence
It looks even more gorgeous at night!
Here is an inside view of the MDP Residence
and one more snap...
...and a view of the MDP Block from the MDP Residence
Leaving the MDP Residence behind...
the road on the left goes behind the Library
and beyond the ground on left are the Faculty Residences, which we will cross later
We take the straight road, and walk through the Campus...
... till we reach the turning to the extended campus, towards the side of the Subarnarekha river
This is the "GMP Village", which is the residence of the participants of XL's 1-year full-time Executive MBA (GMP)
...fully-furnished apartments, which can house a family...
and a separate Dining Hall
Another view of the GMP Village
Opposite to these is the lawn, and the new Faculty Residences...
Taking a round, we walk back towards the acadmic area...
The Library still looks the same...
...though only from the outside
It has changed...
The Reading Room is brighter...
and more spacious
Though the stacks are more or less the same
Above the Library, is the studio
from where we conduct/ "real-cast" the satellite programs across the country
Stading outside the Library, this is how the campus looks
Moving towards the Admin Block, on the left is the XL Entrance Gate
A view of the Admin Block
We continue with our campus walk
Inside the Admin Block, the Small Audi remains...
the center of variety of activities
As we walk in front of the Admin Building...
and turn left....
...we reach the new academic block - The Learning Center
It looks beautiful at night...
and awesome during winters, when flowers bloom.
Inside the Learning Center...
...the corridors lead to
fully air-conditioned state-of-the-art
classrooms
syndicate rooms
computer center
Fr Prabhu Hall - used for conferences, talks, examination, etc.
One more inside view
A view of the Enright Hall from the Learning Center
Leaving the Learning Center, we continue towards the new hostels...
The "waterfall" outside the Learning Center..
is a striking sight at night.
Turning right, next to the Learning Center, are the hostels, gym and cafetaria
The XLRI Cafetaria
Inside the Cafetaria
Outside the Cafetaria
This Building nextdoor is in the memory of Mr SC Sarkar
It has a tuck shop inside, and also the venue for "night canteen" now
on the top-floor is the gym
and an indoor bandminton court
Beyond that is the New Men's Hostel
the gallery inside
...which leads to the dining hall
Returning back...
the new Girl's Hostel - Mother Teresa Hostel - on the right
We move towards the Enright Hall, and
and take the left turn towards the gate...
and say good bye!
