Dear all:
We are pleased to inform you that the much awaited Wi-Fi internet project is nearing its completion. One of the hostels (Limbdi) has already been tested using a pilot setup. Eventually all the 10 hostels (9 boys’ + 1 girls’ hostel) will be connected by Wi-Fi internet by the end of September. With the commissioning of this project, all the current students as well as freshers will benefit, as they can access internet for their computers from the comfort of their hostel rooms.
We are also pleased to announce that we have collected Rs. 26 lacs for this project. This was made possible by donation by hundreds of individuals, class/groups and several mega donors. A brief introduction to Nikesh Arora, one of the mega donors, is given in the next article. A list of all donors will be made public and posted to itbhuglobal.org website by October end.
We appeal to all those could not donate so far, to come forward and contribute whatever amount possible. Any amount in excess of planned amount for the project will be used for related project or towards a general fund, which will benefit students by targeting other desperately needed infrastructure improvements for the hostel environment.
Thanking you all for your help, contribution and best wishes,
Ujj Nath (Meta 1979)
