Mr Indra Kiran Kumar enlightened the alumni on the various channels through which they could engage and contribute to their alma mater. He encouraged them to be mentors by sharing their experience and knowledge with the students, to be part of the various academic and non-academic councils of the university, and to join hands with the faculty and students to work on joint projects or begin a new business venture. He also emphasised the slogan “Come. Connect. Contribute” advocated by Vice Chancellor Prof. Manoj K Arora.
The meet-and-greet offered alumni an opportunity to meet their fellow alumni and connect with their alma mater, which has guided them in their formative years of higher education and helped them choose their career path. The event also conducted some team-building activities and prizes for the winners.
The Hyderabad chapter of the Alumni Meet and Greet was a resounding success. The Alumni Relations’ initiative to organise several smaller meetings in various locations of the country made it easier and more accessible for the alumni to get together, witnessing a broad and active participation. The event organisers also encouraged the alumni to visit the campus occasionally and be part of the journey to excellence.
