Like the previous year. this will again give us an opportunity to meet our alma mater friends.Hi Dear Alumni Friends.I hope you had a smooth catch up Monday after kind of hectic Sunday. I am so thankful to you each and every one that you could take time out for the BITSAA event to make it a grand success. Those who couldn’t make it due to some important reasons.  we missed you badly.I have special words of thanks for our President Dr. Neil Pundit who flew from Florida to attend. His presence has certainly encouraged us and has filled us with zeal and desire to unite for the cause of our dear Alma Mater.I sincerely thank our seniors who blessed the occasion with their talks and whatever they were requested for in the event in advance and at the last moments.I have great expectations from the young alumni who were only seated in the back but they are actually the front runners for future. Please come more forward with your new ideas. energy and participation.There is a message from Dr. Neil Pundit that those who paid the Alumni Fee ($50) for this year in the event have an opportunity to pay the balance $450 and become a life member. This is really a good offer for the youngsters who have to play a long inning.Thanks and take care.Ghaz(Ghazanfar Mohammad)2015 Annual Meet in Toronto 2015 Annual Meet in Toronto Previous Slide 31/52 Next

SUMMARY:BOD Telecon Meeting of Mar 31. 2015
DESCRIPTION:AGENDA for March TeleconDiscussion of the following topics:\nA: Organizational Matters:\n1. Number of Directors – The number of Directors is currently 9.   Election is on August 15 Meeting in San Francisco at which I have to put forward a slate of candidates. You must tell me ASAP your thoughts.\nMonthly telecons have been very difficult to secure a quorum. One thought is to reduce the number of Directors. but expand the list of participants by including the Organizers of the meetings.\n2. RE-ELECTION: I seek your thoughts on standing for a second term. weighting your priorities for job. family. and other commitments. If you wish to continue I would like a personal letter from you listing your priorities for the second term.\n3. Raised Expectation: With the LIFE MEMBER fee reduced to $600 I would like that each Director or candidate become a Life Member. and commit to attend at least one large meeting (in east coast or west coast) and 4 Regional meetings. and 80% of the Monthly telecons.\n4. Dr. Pundit: Personally I am not running for the second term. as indicated earlier. However. I will serve the upcoming BIT Sindri Association International to get it started. I will make a trip to Ranchi and Sindri as soon as responsible leaders (elected and appointed) are in place. I plan to meet with the Chief Minister. Minister of Sc & Technology. the IAS Officers. Director Dey. faculty. and students. I will also plan to attend a number of chapters in India.\n5. The 1965 batch will have their Golden Anniversary. We need to appoint an Ambassador. Anil Singh will please address this topic from his experience. Also. we need to revisit the Travel Grant that we started last year. We should consider this as a recurring event. and include in our plan.\nB: Priorities – We need to revisit our priorities. which in turn are based on current status. and our desires for change. Our current priorities from our July NJ meetings are:\n-Safety and Security of Girl Students\n– Recruitment of faculty\n– Wi fi in all buildings. hostels. and Alumni House\n– Infrastructure Maintenance\nWith Kumar Arun’s report Toilets Renovation has become a priority. with Anil Singh volunteering to address the MET Dept building. There is a thread of correspondence on the subject. An estimate is expected shortly for the MET building which can be replicated.\nPlease consider these major topics and related matters. Feel free to share your thoughts.\nThese are the most important matters.

SUMMARY:Greater LA Area BITS HOLI Fest
DESCRIPTION:Greater Los Angeles Area alumni members had Hoil Feast hosted by Rasmi Kumar (1991 Met) and her husband Manoj at her house in Arcadia. California on February 28. 2015. A total 25 people were in attendance that included ten BITS alumni members . their spouses. children and guests.Rashmi and Manoj were wonderful hosts. and they cooked variety of foods with all the Holi trimmings suchas puaa. malpuaa. goat meat. chicken. karhi-bari. dal. chhole. dahiwada. dhekua. kathal pakore. pulao. kachhori. ice cream. thandahi (no bhang). Indian sweets etc. Everyone had a blast. The sumptuous feast was followed by Antarakshari conducted by Kalika Gupta (91 EE) and her husband Navin. Some photos are attached.Our next get together will be on April 18. 2015. Rajesh Jha (1977 Civil) has invited the members for lunch and dinner. and to watch/view Toyota Gran Prix from his Penthouse in Long Beach. California. All are welcome.In between. the food and Antarakshari. I briefed the alumni members about the our efforts for renovating the washrooms for girls in various department buildings at Sindri as well Ranjit Bhai’s foundation in the memory of their daughter Shini.As regards to the toilet renovation project. members had some concerns that even if we fix/repair the toilets. maintenance/upkeep will be a real problem. Members suggested that after toilets are fixed. the maintenance of these shall be contracted to Sulav Sauchalaya (SS). a company that is active in building and maintaining the toilets in various parts of India. The maintenance money may be generated by charging some nominal user fees that may still need to be supplemented by outside grant. say by BITS NA Association.Members also indicated that unless the present students and staff at BIT really want to have/demand workable/clean toilets. the renovation project would not be successful. So. it is imperative that we somehow wake them up. so they see the need for clean toilets.Our youngest member. Rakesh Kumar (2007 CSE). suggested that we should establish contacts with Rotract/GRS club and Leo Club BIT Sindri. as student members in these clubs are much more socially oriented. and will act favorably if we ask them to bring home to other students the importance of clean toilets. They may even take up the matter with the staff and management at Sindri.Greater LA Holi MEETGreater LA Holi MEETPrevious Slide 3/4 Next
