(Class of 1982 at Morvi Hostel)
The silver jubilee reunion of class of 1982 was organized during 24-27 December 2007 at our campus. About 110 alumni (200 including family members) attended the reunion, the largest group for reunion so far.
Prof. S. N. Upadhyay, Director, IT gave his whole hearted support and assigned Dr. Pradeep Kumar Mishra (Chemical Engineering) and Mr. Vikalp Agarwal (final year student of Civil Engineering) to organize things at IT-BHU. Through them, we got valuable support for booking university/IT guest house rooms, IT orchestra, hostel visits, lunch at hostel, alumni Milan function at Gopal Tripathi Auditorium, formal invitation to all HoDs (Heads of Departments) and all 1982 era professors. Hostel wardens were informed for access to rooms and few of the hostel Maharaj pitched in for serving us the authentic hostel food to reminisce hostel days. HoDs/Professors were invited for the Gala dinner for which transport was arranged. The lunch at Morvi hostel was arranged and 200 final year students joined us.
The batch also decided to raise funds for upgrading hostels and lecture halls.
