Alumni Association - the effective support

From Secretary's Desk

The concept of making Alumnae Association is not very sudden to our ex-students. It was taking shape in our mind since 1948. The Ex-students Association was formed earlier. They continued the activities over long period of time. In 2003, the Ex-students Association decided to convert it into an Alumnae Association. We are thankful to God and his siblings that the dream came true in 2005. The present Alumnae Association is the product of the long cherished imagination and labour of all the members of the Ex-students Association from 1948 till date.
