Our alumni association (IT-BHU global Alumni Association) in the current form was formed in April 2008. It was established initially to carry out some basic functions such as providing a structure to the organization, formation of CoR (Council of Representatives), enacting bylaws, etc. It was decided at that time that the BoD (Board of Directors or executive committee) is an interim one assembled for the sole purpose of establishing the alumni association. It was also agreed that the term for this interim board will be for one year, i.e. up to March 2009; and that the new board will be constituted by April 1, 2009.
It is planned to have to have new BoD ready by 1st April 2009. Its term will be for 2 years, till 31st March 2011.
In the current BoD, there are 14 directors by election process and three (one each from Institute, Faculty and Students) directors are nominated, bringing the total to 17 directors. The election will be for all the 14 positions, including any vacant position.
Accordingly, all 14 current directors of the current interim BoD have been asked to state whether they would like to continue on the post or would opt to vacate the post (due to personal reasons, etc.) Irrespective of the response, all 14 posts are available for contest.
Any registered alumni can stand for the election. Voting will be done by 145 members of CoR council. The election will be supervised by our election officers.
The detailed announcement for the BoD election will be made around mid-February on our website (www.itbhuglobal.org), on Yahoo groups and other forums.

Fifty-year reunion of the BENCO Class of 1958
The engineering class of the Banaras Engineering College (BENCO) that graduated in 1958 celebrated its 50-year reunion on January 4, 2009 in New Delhi.
Banaras Engineering College, popularly known as BENCO, is one of the three constituent colleges which merged in 1971 to form the present BHU Institute of Technology, the other two being the College of Mining and Metallurgy (MINMET) and the College of Technology (TECHNO). When the 130 members of the Class of 1958 joined the college in 1954, it was already recognized as the country’s premier institute of engineering. Admission to the college was highly competitive, so the members of the Class who hailed from the many regions of India were all highly talented. This talent later brought each of them to glorious heights in their career.
The reunion was held at 15A Noida Club, New Delhi. About 20 alumni, many with their spouses, attended the event. They came from many different parts of India and the world, from Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Adipur (Kutch), United States of America, and Canada. The event brought back fond memories of their time together and provided an opportunity to rejoice in what they had achieved. The program began with a welcome address by A. K. Mathur, which was followed by poetry recital by Jagmohan Humar. All members in attendance then related their account of their journey through life. It was a matter of considerable joy and pride that the members of the Class of 1958 had excelled in their profession as engineers, entrepreneurs, academics, and public servants. The event concluded with a lunch.
A detailed report on reunion, including photos and profiles of alumni is attached here
Here are some images from the event

Another get-together was also held at Princeton, NJ.
As a part of golden jubilee celebration of 1958 Bencoites (1954-58), three class mates, namely Manash Dutta from New Delhi, Ravinder Nanda from New York and Mahendra Das from New Jersey, all from Mechanical Stream, met at a get together at Princeton, New Jersey, USA on 29th December 2008 with their spouses. Manash Dutta along with his wife Sumitra were on a visit to their daughter at Houston, Texas, USA. They decided to fly to New Jersey to meet Mahendra and his wife Madhu at Princeton, New Jersey who had settled there only about a year ago from The Hague, Holland after retirement. Fortunately Ravinder Nanda and his wife Serena who celebrated their 50 yrs. of stay in USA in 2008, and made New York their home, were also in town to join the meet at Princeton.
All three friends met with their spouses first in the house of Mahendra Das around 11 am, where the long association of 54 years (1954 to 2008) were remembered with very old photographs of their college days as well as with the Souvenir where photographs of all the classmates of Mechanical, Electrical and Civil taken in 1958 in a studio at Banaras, were available. It was really a pleasure to see and remember the old and golden days. The weather on 29th December was much better compared to what it was 2 days earlier (snow, rain and cold). The meet was made all the more memorable over a sumptuous lunch hosted by Mahendra and Ravinder in a cozy Thai restaurant at Princeton.
The three spouses also joined and enjoyed very much the meet. The friends bid adieu after 4 pm with a wonderful feeling. Some photographs taken in the meet by Ravinder Nanda are attached.

The reunion of class of 1983 was held at our Varanasi campus on December 27-29, 2008. About 75 alumni with their families (total about 110) participated in reunion meet.
Below please find report forwarded by Vasudevan Raghavan (mechanical 1983). He can be contacted at: vasu_erfolg [AT] yahoo.com
________________
We had the "official" function on the 27th January between 1000 AM and 1230 AM. The Director was present with about 30 to 35 faculty members - retired as well as serving - who had been invited. Shawls were presented to the entire faculty by alumni who had come for the reunion. Professors from certain branches were felicitated by alumni from that branch and for some faculties (like Applied Maths, Applied Physics, etc.) people simply stood up and volunteered to do the honours. After this, some of the professors spoke and then the alumni gave a brief intro about them, what they had been doing these 25 years etc.
1300 Hrs to 1400 hrs was lunch, on the terrace of the Chemical dept. auditorium. The next 2 hours were spent visiting the respective departments. By 1700 Hrs, we were all getting ready at Assi Ghat to board the boats that took us on the Bajra ride and at the end of it, we witnessed the Ganga Aarti.
By 2000 Hrs, we had reassembled at Clarkes for the dinner.
The second day was more sedate. About 50 bicycles were graciously made available at Morvi Hostel by the students - for the alumni to go on a cycle ride. Many of the alumni made good use of it to relive their student life.
At 1300 Hrs, we had the lunch - MESS LUNCH - on the lawns of the Morvi hostel. The inmates of the Morvi hostel had also been invited for this lunch. At the end of the lunch, the Conveners of Kashi Yatra and Magnum Opus were given 10 minutes each to make a short presentation to the alumni. This was arranged at the request of the conveners, as they wanted the 1983 batch to help them tide over the financial difficulties faced by the Kashi Yatra festival and because the Magnum Opus team wanted us to help with ideas and contacts.
After this, the alumni dispersed on their respective "chakkars". Some visited the hostel rooms where they had lived in or the other year of their IT life. A group consisting of Pankaj Chandra, Vish, Vasu, Rajiv Hukku, Madhu Ranjan and a few other interested 83 batch alumni met at the IT guest house where an impromptu discussion on how the institute and the alumni community could work together flourished.
The evening of the second day was concluded by a dinner get together where a live orchestra was entertaining the alumni with songs from Hindi movies. The latter part of this program was taken over by the alumni themselves, as many of the alumni and their children rendered songs and danced to these too, entertaining themselves and the others.

Banaras Experience
Here is the experience of Banaras journey captured by Mrs. Priya Laxminarayanan (wife of Vish Laxminarayanan, Electrical 1983), who visited the campus reunion.
When given the opportunity to pen a few words on my trip and experience at Banaras, I was elated to share my thoughts. It gave me an opportunity to reflect on poignant moments and revive the brief spell of shared excitement. The airport welcome sign succinctly states, “Banaras is not just a city, but an experience”. It was fantastic meeting the extended families of the alumni. The passion of people flying in from the US for just three to four days astounded me. After staying at Banaras for two days, I began to realize the lure of the city and depths of the bonds forged twenty five years ago.
My link to IT BHU is through marriage. I was eager to visit Banaras to see the place where roots of strong relationships developed and formed the basis for many amusing stories and anecdotes shared with friends. I had gleaned fragments of stories from my husband’s colleagues over the years and was eager to experience some of the campus excitement. The future and present is built upon the strength of the past.
We were all set to visit this holy place well-known for its rich academic history, temples and of course “Ganga maiyya”. The experience far exceeded my expectations. There was not a dull moment and all activities were planned and executed with precision and taste. Everything moved flawlessly. The bumps were minor, given the number of people that the events were organized for.
Everyone bonded strongly and parting after the two day sojourn was tinged with sorrow. I was fascinated by the nostalgic discussions on having Lavang Lata, Rabri and Lassi from Pehlwaan’s and my personal favorite - Banarasi paan. I can now call myself a connoisseur of paan, having been given the drill on the differences in the paan leaf several times. The excitement on visiting the mess, meeting the Maharaj, chaiwalas and paanwalas was infectious.
Our Banaras experience began the minute the flight touched down. The polished veneer of these successful alumni melted away. They were all back to being “Banarasi babus” with nostalgic UP accents. Their discussions were fascinating and the twenty five year chasm vanished. Mr. Tolani’s brief mimicking act on the diverse set of first year students was hilarious. He nailed everyone’s mannerisms to a tee with his witty one-liners. I was later on told that this was a censored performance for my benefit.
The first day started out with several cups of chai waiting for the felicitation ceremony to begin. The turnout was impressive. IT BHU students’ melodious rendition of their anthem “Kulgeet” was stirring. The song encapsulates the greatness of the university. It reflects on the city’s past glory and achievements, while focusing on the growth of the students. It made me aware of the strength and value of our roots. I am positive that it aroused similar sentiments in every heart and mind present at the ceremony.
The tour of the facility was impressive and the quips from the alumni on their favorite moments were thoroughly entertaining. I found the memory of the professors remarkable. They remembered minute details about some of the alumni. It was touching to observe everyone discussing options to improve BHU – facility, campus and weighing options to overcome the existing political challenges with funneling funds to the IIT portion of BHU. I sincerely hope this endeavor succeeds.
It is difficult to capture an experience with a few highlights. For me, the whole trip was a highlight, however one that distinctly stood out, was having Lavanglatta and paan on the Ganges Bajra ride. Bajra ride with nice mattresses and goodies was luxury indeed. Not having ever tasted Lavanglatta, I probably have to concur, that Pehlwan’s still reigns supreme. The aarti by the Ganges in parallel with the Antakshari competition on the boat by the PV Jaishankar family, Arun Rao and Deepak Sayals was a unique experience. It kept everyone engaged and entertained during the ride. Kudos to Supreet Jain for picking up the Paans and Lavanglatta for the ride.
The cycle rides around the campus was nostalgic. It was amusing to see the level of enthusiasm and excitement on visiting old hostel rooms and chatting up with the current residents. Of course I drew the line at visiting the boy’s bathrooms or taking pictures of it, regardless of the high level of enthusiasm displayed by all on the upgrades made to that area.
The last event at Clark’s was another big highlight. This was an event where everyone participated with abandon - kids, wives, BHU alumni alike. I still get nostalgic, thinking of Paramjit’s rendition of “Khaike Paan Banaras Wala”, and “Mitwa Re” by the BHU freshmen students. Of course the kids were not to be left behind sang and danced with equal enthusiasm. Badal Chandra’s bindaas performance of “Beedi Jalaike” was phenomenal. Kids shook a leg vigorously for the “Chaiyya Chaiyya” number and probably beat the original movie choreography on this.
Although, I stayed in Banaras only for two days, its charm rubbed off on me as well. I now have memories of my own that I have shared with countless friends since. I can only imagine the affection and bonds that were forged over those five years of college. In conclusion, I can only say as Paramjit Seehra stated at the end of the event, “Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna”. The visit was brief, although the memories will last me a lifetime.
