News on the Silver Jubilee Celebrations

In October 2001 the batch of 1971 entry celeberated the Silver Jubilee of our Batch graduation. We had enjoyable three days together at the new Birla Guest House (opposite Swimming pool) The arrangements were excellent and all had good time.

The first day was the day of introductions with people arriving till late afternoon. We had the round of introduction in the evening which went on for many hours and then had tea snacks. Later there was a dinner arranged for which no one was hungry as in between all of us went to Connaught and had our usual round of tea. It is quite changed from our days of the seventies.  The second day morning we went for a round of the temple and got to offer the prayers. It was voluntary of course.
 

Later we all went to Birla Museum and had some photographs. After that a visit to Senate room and a meeting where a meeting with Director was arranged. He was not available unfortunately and we met the Deputy Director. We had some issues discussed and hot issue was on admission procedures. There were also some discussions on future Batch gatherings and participations. We then had a lunch at our usual hostels and were served a little different delicious food. Some old faces in waiters could be seen. Not much change in hostels and messes. In the evening there was a cultural program well compeered by Kalyan Swarup. He really made the environment charged and we had some of our old pals singing nice songs. Even the new BITS team sang some good old songs. Dinner followed and then next day was time to depart.

Every one enjoyed the two nights three day stay and whoseover could not make it did miss a good time and chance of interacting with old friends. We wish to make it a more frequent with rotating host cities. Hope we can also do it now on our golden jubilee (2026) Hope many of us are around and can join it.
