We are pleased to announce that IT-BHU Global Alumni Association (IBGAA) plans to launch alumni funded projects very soon. The aim of the projects will be to improve select infrastructure and facilities on the IT-BHU campus as well as to support students and faculty initiatives.
A number of steps have been taken to plan for the launch of alumni projects:
a) Bank account has been opened in Varanasi by IBGAA (India) and 12A/80G tax exemptions have been obtained for the same. Now alumni depositing donations in the bank account can obtain tax-exemption for the amount donated, subject to certain conditions. Similar facility already exists for our US based alumni via the New Jersey bank account.
b) A campus office of our alumni association will soon be opened. The office space has been identified. It will be staffed with a full-time employee and assisted by student-volunteers.
c) A list of projects have been discussed within Board of Directors of our alumni association and will be finalized in consultation with our institute administration, who have better idea of exact needs.
d) A list of documents, including FAQs (frequently Asked Questions) is being prepared and will be published for fund-raising drive.
The partial list of projects is as follows (to be discussed and confirmed):
* For students: summer internships for India and abroad, scholarship for publications, research, attending seminar/conference/competition in India/abroad, financial assistance to needy students, students with excellent IIT-JEE ranks, etc.
* For faculty: scholarship for publications, research, attending national and international seminars/conferences * For departments: improving infrastructure. labs / lecture hall, etc.
* Campus facilities: improving library, workshop, etc.
* Hostels: improving hostel facilities such as mess, laundry room, heating, and emergency power
* Website: improving alumni website (www.itbhuglobal.org) with version 2.0 with vastly improved features.
* Brand building: Preparing/publishing, video, calendar, publish articles, advertize in news media, etc.
Each of these projects would be developed in conjunction with faculty and alumni inputs. More projects will also be added.
We hope to launch alumni fund drive by the year end. Further announcement will be done in the coming issues of chronicle as well as on our website (www.itbhuglobal.org) and by direct mail. All project information will be published and tracked on the alumni association Web site at www.itbhuglobal.org/projects
We hope that with the help from entire IT-BHU community (alumni, students, faculty, administration and well-wishers), we shall be able to launch the projects on mass-scale and achieve the desired results.
Thanking you
