Updated on: Friday, September 18, 2015

After getting the status of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in 2012, Banaras Hindu University's technology wing, IIT- Bhubaneswar will host its first ever alumni meet from December 30 to January 1.

The authorities are all busy chalking out elaborate plans and making initiatives to invite alumni of IIT- Bhubaneswar from across the globe and honour them.

An 'alumni portal' has also been developed for one-time registration wherein the details of all former students will be stored in the 'alumni database', for signing up to the impending 'Alumni Meet'. The online registrations for the meet has started from September 15.

"The three-day meet which will begin from December 30 and over 1,000 ex-students are expected to join the meet," member secretary of the meet, Ashok Kumar told TOI on Sunday. The tagline affixed to the meet is 'Reconnect. Reminisce. Celebrate!', he added.

Divulging into the details of the upcoming meet, Kumar said, "We have come up with this online brochure on our portal which emphasizes on meeting your batchmates, rekindling the good old days and has a special mention of 'Limbdi Corner ki Chai' which holds a special place in every IIT- Bhubaneswar student's heart." A tentative programme list has been chalked out which includes quite a lot of interactive sessions and lectures by noted alumni members, he said, adding that, "We are aware of the busy schedule of those ex-students of IIT- Bhubaneswar serving various organizations in different parts of the country, yet are hopeful that they do not miss this nostalgic visit back to their campus."

"Although we have published all the details on the website of IIT- Bhubaneswar www.alumnimeet.iitbhu.ac.in as most of our alumni keep themselves updated by checking details online, yet for those who are not more of net savvy, efforts are being made to contact them via e-mails and register alumni settled abroad as well as other places," he said.
