About Us

The Xavier Institute of Social Service (XISS), Ranchi was established in the year 1955 with the objective of training young men and women in Rural Development, Personnel Management and Industrial Relations. In 1973 the institute was registered as a separate educational society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. In 1978, it moved to its present site and over the years has developed its own distinct identity as a centre of excellence in management education, research, consultancy and development interventions. 

We envision a centre of academic excellence towards creating a sustainable society with peace, justice and reconciliation. 

• To become a leading management school in India by offering a portfolio of academic, research, social involvement and outreach programmes.

• To create leaders with conscience, compassion, competence, and commitment for sustainable development and empowerment of the marginalised.
