Bhubaneswar: Xavier University Bhubaneswar (XUB) bagged Four Palmes Global Award for outstanding academic excellence in management education and research.
In a glittering ceremony held on November 9, France-based Eduniversal Convention gave away the award at the Grand Hyatt in Dubai.
While over the past few years XUB was awarded Three Palmes Global Award, this year it was elevated to Four Palmes Global Award for exhibiting tremendous growth and development at par with global standards among top business schools in India. The Eduniversal Convention over the years has been grading and ranking more than 1200 business schools across the globe.
This is yet another reason for India to be proud, with XUB bringing this honour to India. Upon receiving this award, Jesuit Father Paul Fernandes, Vice Chancellor, dedicated this award to the efforts of the Governing Board, the Deans, the faculty, staff and the excellent students and all the well-wishers.
“XUB always stands for academic excellence, integrity and ethical values, social justice and building a humane society, and educating people for greater citizenship. We have been providing management education of global standards and we will continue to provide quality education and contribute to the nation-building process of India and showcase the rich academic culture present in Odisha before the whole world. This award is a testament to this belief and conviction,” Fernandes said.
Along with the Vice Chancellor, the University was represented by Registrar Jesuit Father E.A. Augustine, Dean (XIMB) Prof. Subhajyoti Ray and Associate Dean (International Programmes) Dr. Sasmit Patra.
