It was named after the Jesuit Saint Francis Xavier for his missionary work in India. XISS was established with the mission to develop human resources for various sectors such as industries, business, rural development, health care etc. in the Chota Nagpur region. Both the founding director Fr. Michael Windey and his successor Fr. Bogeart were Belgian Jesuit missionaries who contributed significantly to the Jesuit mission in India from their youth. Fr. Windey established the Village Reconstruction Organisation (VRO) in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh after having officially ended his career as a professor and teacher in 1971, to fully give himself to the poor helping them in the reconstruction of villages due to natural disasters. In the early 1970s, Fr. Bogeart made an extensive tour of the rural areas of Chotanagpur meeting with tribal youth and established the Vikas Maitri to assist the tribal youth financially in their higher studies. This organization is active to date in the rural areas of Chotanagpur. Influenced by the welfare works at Ranchi, he started PG diploma in Rural Development in 1974. In 1986, Fr. Bogaert joined the team of Jesuits assigned to start Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar. He also started the Xavier Institute of Development Action and Studies (XIDAS) in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh in 1995. Hence XISS gave him his own agenda of doing something special for rural development in all these places. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Xavier Institute of Social Service」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
