02. FACILITIES OF THE INSTITUTE

Xavier Institute (XIDAS), Jabalpur, is located at a sprawling campus of about 12 acres. The
entire campus has been developed esthetically. It has separate buildings for the academic
activities, hostel for women, hostel for men, staff residence and guest house. The Institute is

from the Airport.

and women. Several of these rooms have attached toilets as well. About 300 persons can be
accommodated at a time in these hostels.

c) Documentation Centre and Library

In order to disseminate the required information to the various projects and programmes of
the Institute and to the students of Management Studies, the Institute has three Libraries –
MBA Library, PGDM Library and Central Library-cum-Documentation Centre. The Library
comprises: About 7000 titles/books, over 250 research papers, about 100 in-house reports, 35

available from 9.00 hours to 21.00 hours, seven days a week.

03. THE PGDM COURSE

a) Introduction
India is a fast-developing country and it is booming time for the one-billion and more
population of India. It is now India’s turn to become brighter and stronger in the development
front. India is one of the most sought after developing nations of the world. The development
prospects are immense provided we have competent and qualified hands. However, the
development of a nation has to be brought about in a professional and in the right manner, in
order to ensure lasting and healthy development. This is possible only if the leaders and

5
policy-makers at all levels are professionally qualified, have the right understanding of
development and are capable of ensuring that every section of the nation develops
simultaneously. In other words, India is urgently in need of sustainable development and not
one-sided, selective or chaotic development.

The PGDM course is meant to train the students to become professionals for the sustainable
development of both the rural areas as well as urban areas. Moreover, we are also beginning
to witness the effect of over-development in the urban areas, where the cherished values are
being thrown out over-night, the youth are being carried away with new fashion, values and
style of functioning, families are breaking down, violence is increasing, etc. The PGDM
course will enable the students to have an in-depth understanding of this new phenomenon
and identify possible solutions.

The students will have the opportunity to specialize in the area of their personal interest, by
opting for two areas of specialization. At the same time, the course will have a specific focus
on sustainable development. Thus, this course, while enabling the students to specialize in
two areas of their choice, will also enable the students to have a critical understanding of the
causes of under-development or over-development, the possible ways and means to overcome
the existing state of affairs and move forward, the various skills that are required on the part
of the victims of under-development or over-development to emancipate themselves from
these clutches, the various laws and provisions of the Government to assist these people, etc.

At the end of the course, every student will have specialized in two areas of his/her
option and will also have developed a balanced perspective regarding sustainable
development, which is absolutely essential for a balanced growth of the country and the
world at large.

b) The Academic Programme

The PGDM is a two-year Post Graduate level diploma programme and major specialized
modules (electives) are offered in these two years – Development, Human Resource,
Marketing, Finance and Information Systems. The entire course covers obligatory (core)
subjects, which deal with business management and development issues related to both rural

he/she will have to repeat the entire Semester Examinations, in the subsequent year along

systematic placement procedure of the Institute. On the part of the students, hard work,
proficiency in English, good knowledge of the subjects and satisfactory behaviour in the
