XLRI Jamshedpur Invites Applications For Two New Hybrid Programmes
XLRI Jamshedpur has opened admissions for two newly launched one-year hybrid programmes-Public Policy and Sustainable Leadership (PPSL) and Public Human Resources Management (PHRM). Developed in collaboration with the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Government of India, these programmes aim to equip professionals from both public and private sectors with leadership and policy-making skills. Applications are open now and will close on June 30, 2025. The programs will commence from July 28, 2025.
Eligibility And Who Can Apply
Both programmes are open to working professionals with at least five years of full-time work experience. While Group 'A' government officers may be eligible for sponsorship from the DoPT, professionals from private companies, PSUs, NGOs, and development agencies are also encouraged to apply. The initiative aims to bring together a diverse group of learners from various sectors to foster cross-sector collaboration and learning.
Programme Structure And Learning Format
The PPSL and PHRM programmes are designed to offer flexibility through a hybrid learning model. Each course includes 180 hours of instruction, delivered through live online sessions held on Sundays and two campus visits-one at XLRI Jamshedpur and one at XLRI Delhi-NCR. The format ensures that working professionals can continue with their jobs while upgrading their knowledge and skills. Those unable to attend specific modules will be given the opportunity to complete them with the next cohort.
Programme Duration And Fee
Both programmes run for one year and are structured into modules. The total fee for each programme is Rs 2.95 lakh, inclusive of 18% GST. This fee covers all learning materials, online sessions, and in-person components. Group 'A' officers selected under the DoPT scheme will have their fees covered by the government.
Course Curriculum
The PHRM programme consists of three modules-Foundations of Public HRM, Core of Public HRM, and Emerging Issues in Public HRM. Topics include organizational behavior, recruitment, HR planning, change management, labor relations, communication, AI in HR, and workplace well-being.
The PPSL programme is divided into six modules covering topics such as public policy theories, public finance, data analytics, public-private partnerships, leadership for sustainability, and business strategy. It offers a well-rounded perspective on governance and sustainable policy leadership.
Selection Process
Admission to both programmes involves an application review process conducted by XLRI. Shortlisted candidates may be invited for a virtual interaction or interview as part of the final selection.
Benefits And Unique Features
These programmes offer the advantage of a flexible format, government sponsorship for eligible officers, and access to an experienced faculty pool. Learners will also benefit from networking opportunities with professionals across sectors, case-based learning, and real-world policy and HR scenarios.

Homebuyers in Bengaluru feel betrayed as builders flout Rera orders with impunity
Bengaluru: For thousands of homebuyers across the city, the dream of owning a home has turned into a never-ending legal and financial nightmare. Despite securing favourable rulings from the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Rera), many buyers allege that builders are openly flouting the law with no consequences, while govt agencies look the other way. From construction delays and refund refusals to outright defiance of Rera compensation orders, aggrieved buyers say enforcement is virtually non-existent. What began as a hopeful investment has, for many, turned into a fight for justice that drags on for years. Gopal Agarwal, a 47-year-old chartered accountant based in Whitefield, invested in a project back in 2012 with the promise of possession by 2015. He finally received the flat only in 2019. The builder initially agreed to pay Rs 10 lakh in compensation but later backed out. Agarwal approached Rera, which passed a favourable order in Oct 2022. "I'm still running around for execution (of the order). I've visited the deputy commissioner and tahsildar offices more than a hundred times. Even the high court directed the DC to recover the money within eight weeks — nothing happened. The builder managed to get a stay and I'm back to square one. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Laxmi Ji Idol For Wealth, Peace & Happiness Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo Rera is doing its job, but it's toothless without enforcement powers. Revenue officers don't act," he said. Govind Narayan, a 36-year-old resident of Jalahalli, booked a flat near Electronics City in 2018. Possession was initially promised by Aug 2022, later revised to March 2024. However, construction stopped in 2022 and hasn't resumed since. "Every time we contact the builder, we're told 'work will start tomorrow'. It's the same excuse every time. I've invested Rs 37 lakh — my entire savings — and have no home, no returns. The flat's market value is now more than Rs 80 lakh. Even after winning a Rera case and receiving a revenue recovery certificate, there's no enforcement," Narayan said. Businessman Sudhakar Lakshmanaraja said that despite a 2021 Rera order to recover Rs 46 lakh from a well-known builder, there has been zero progress. "I've approached everyone — the PMO, CM, housing department, human rights commission — but to no avail. Officers pass the buck. Meanwhile, these fraudulent builders are still operating. What message are we sending to honest citizens?" he asked. According to data from Rera, 796 enforcement orders have been issued since the Act came into effect. Homebuyers' associations estimate that while roughly 50% of these involve builder refunds, nearly 30% of those refunds are stuck because of non-compliance. Dhananjaya Padmanabhachar, convener of Karnataka Homebuyers Forum, said: "Rera needs its own revenue collection officer with powers to attach properties of defaulters. Paper orders without enforcement mean nothing to homebuyers." A senior Rera official admitted the authority's limitations: "We don't have the power to recover money. That lies with the govt. We can pass orders, but without execution powers, enforcement suffers."

CZC meet: Exhibition to showcase Kashi's GI tagged products, promote local artisans
Varanasi: As part of the Central Zonal Council (CZC) meeting scheduled for Tuesday, a special exhibition featuring 10 GI-tagged handicraft products from Varanasi will be organised at the venue. This exhibition will highlight the region's rich heritage under the initiative of the Yogi Adityanath-led govt. The exhibition will be attended by Union home minister Amit Shah, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath , and the CMs of Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh — Pushkar Singh Dhami, Mohan Yadav, and Vishnudev Sai respectively — along with senior officials from various ministries and state departments.

Padma Shri awardee Rajni Kant, popularly known as the 'GI Man of India', hailed the event as a proud moment for Kashi. "This exhibition offers an opportunity to present the unparalleled skill of local artisans on a national platform. Eastern Uttar Pradesh is home to 32 GI-tagged products, which support nearly 20 lakh artisans and generate an annual business of over Rs 25,500 crore," he said. Thanks to the Yogi govt's policies and efforts, UP now ranks first in India in terms of the number of GI-tagged products. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Currently, the state has 77 GI products, reflecting its rich art, craft traditions, agricultural excellence, and unique regional identities. An additional 30 products are in the process of receiving the GI tag, which will further strengthen this achievement. Adarsh Kumar Maurya, a state awardee and expert in Varanasi's Soft Stone Jali Work, said, "CM Yogi is not just a supporter but a brand ambassador for GI products. His efforts have helped revive disappearing art forms and brought national recognition to local crafts," he said. Maurya added that showcasing GI products to such a distinguished audience will help generate interest, appreciation, and potentially new business opportunities for the artisans of Kashi.

Liquor shortage hits market in state as govt dues pile up
1 2 R anchi: Liquor consumers in Jharkhand are facing a frustrating situation as several popular brands of IMFL (India Made Foreign Liquor) are currently out of stock at local shops. Despite ready to pay, customers are being turned down as shops claim supplies have completely dried up, forcing many to settle for less familiar alternatives or make trips to neighbouring states. Furthermore, even when premium brands are available, they often come in 750 ml bottles, which don't meet the demand for smaller sizes like 375 ml or 180 ml. Bablu Verma, a private sector professional, who visited IMFL shop at Circular Road on Sunday, said, "When I asked for the brand, the shopkeeper said there was a shortage of the particular brand, Then, I asked for two similar brands of whiskey and got the same reply. Left with no option, I bought a cheap brand whiskey at the same price I pay for my favourite drink," Verma said. Rajesh Rajak, a banker, said, "The shops in the city are charging anywhere between Rs 10-40 extra on each bottle." Speaking to TOI, Subodh Jaiswal, general secretary of Jharkhand Sharab Vyapari Sangh said that the dearth of liquor brands is persisting in all districts of the state for the last 15-20 days due to pending payments to the Jharkhand State Beverage Corporation Limited (JSBCL) godowns by the govt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "There are enough stocks at the godowns, but they are not reaching the shops, as the govt is yet to clear the payments. The officials of the excise department responsible for clearing the payments are on leave, and no one has been given charge on their behalf," Jaiswal added. Jharkhand sells around Rs 12 crore of liquor per day, which has reduced to Rs 3-4 crore due to the ongoing issue, said Jaiswal. "No multinational companies had sold liquor to Jharkhand in the last one month as they are yet to receive their payments of Rs 400-500 crore," he said. When contacted, state excise department minister Yogendra Prasad, told TOI, "The excise commissioner was on leave for training, so the payments could not be cleared. Now he has joined, so within one-two days, the situation will come into normalcy."
