It is heartening to know that class of 1976 took up Books for Library project for contributing books worth Rs. 2 lacs to our library. We all congratulate the class of 76 for their initiative for a good cause. We hope others will follow the example.
The class submitted a total of 539 copies consisting of 366 titles. The list of books contributed can be seen in this file.
Here is what Ashok Srivastava and Sandip Sen have to say about the project:
“In response to the appeal of Director IT-BHU during our 30 yr Reunion of class of 1976, we collected some money and took up the project of Books for Library. First a list of Books was sought from the Institute. We were pleasantly surprised by a very prompt response from our Director and from our Librarian Shri Navin Upadhyay.
We decided to add to the list provided by BHU with some more content and depth. We expanded and modified the list by selecting lot of books from catalogues of leading publishers; some books being very new introductions. We did mix the selections initially to add books of Mining, Metallurgy and Ceramics which were missing from the original BHU list and then added some new International Student Edition books as well as a few leadership, motivation and competitive exam titles.
This was a joint effort of the batch of 1976. Other active volunteers for this project include Shankar Roychowdhury, Pradeep Shrivastava, Pradosh Chakravarty and UN Dubey
Books worth over Rs 2 Lacs, costing us Rs 1.52 Lacs were dispatched to Library of IT-BHU on 8th June.
We hope that these books will be found useful by the students.
