Message from an alumnus

Message from Alumnus....

Hi Friends,

 

I think now we have to stop discussion and come to conclusion to do something concrete. 

 

Let me tell you that  in this cleaning operation We have done lot of investigation and came to know. that even Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has set up a VISION for all NIT for 2010 and 2025. There is also proposal that as IITans has Brand and having strong Alumni network called PAN-IIT. All the NIT will have the their own Brand and  strong data network which will be known as DAN-NIT. In this process SVNIT, Surat has already started on line voting etc as per details collected from net sites.( *Details as under  Annex- I )

 The points which came during discussion in various forum and can be concluded as-

 1. We have to ensure that actions as promised by MHRD are implemented .

2. Filing of RTI applications to put pressure for immediate action.

 AFTER this-

 

1. Formation of Strong Alumni with duely approved/recognised by MANIT.( This should be 

    taken care by Bhopal Alumni.Proforma Regist.attached Annex-II)

2. To put a Representative of Alumni on Board of Governors as per NIT act.

3. Sub Committee of Alumni at MANIT as per RTI act Chapter 9 Page 34.

4. Scholarship from Alumni.

5. Every year Alumni function at MANIT on 4TH September i.e. foundation day of MACT.

    ( Or can be discussed and finalised)

6.Every Batch should arrange their function at MANIT after completing 15 or20 or 25 years.

   ( Can be finalised by Batch-mates)

 

Any other suggestion and comments.

Student elections

All the NITs individually conduct annual student elections to elect a General Secretary and Vice President of the student body. These people are generally responsible for communicating with the college management and media, organising college festivals, and also for various development programmes in their college. Some NITs (like SVNIT,* Surat ) have recently adopted online voting process. Moreover, to promote student involvement in the management, it is mandatory to have a student body representative in the committee which monitors the flow of funds and suggests ways to invest them in the best possible way. This committee also consists of the Chairman of Board, an MHRD Representative, and NIT professors

Alumni  

NIT alumni are working in all parts of the globe and many alumni associations exist in cities around the world. However, despite great achievements by NITians, the NIT brand is somewhat downplayed by the Indian media in favor of IITs. But with the newly found NIT status, NITs are no longer expected to keep a low profile. In fact, by 2010, NITs are expected to sit equally with the IIT brand. All the NITs have chalked out vision plans to make the NIT brand stronger.It is also proposed to set up a common DAN-NIT network on the association of the popular PAN-IIT network. This would include all the current alumni associations of individual institutes and would help in cretaing a more larger and accurate database and to bring together all NITians under a commmon umbrella with the intention of taking the NIT Brand ahead.

In most of the NITs, alumni sponsored scholarship programmes provide funding to poor students. However, NIT alumni need to be more active and show more enthusiasm in supporting their alma mater. Some of NITs alumni are working as professors in IITs, IISc, IIMs, NITs, and also abroad in colleges like Stanford and Caltech. Every year, a large number of NIT students carry on their education by joining prestigious institutes like IIMs, ISB, FMS, XLRI, IIFT, SPJIMR, IITs, NITIE, MDI, TISS in India and the likes of Stanford, Georgia Tech, and MIT abroad. Moreover, many former students from NITs occupy key positions in several global corporations.
