A dinner reception for the Vice-Chancellor of our University, Prof. Dhirendra Pal Singh was hosted on May 8th at Royal Albert’s Palace, New Jersey. The event was organized to honour our VC, who was visiting US during April 21-May 9. He visited State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, New York; Cornell University, Ithaca, New York; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and University of Georgia. Besides New Jersey, VC was also honoured by alumni group at New York and Maryland. VC was accompanied by his wife and his friends, Mr. Pradeep Sengar, Mr. Vijay Kumar Pandya and Mrs. Ritu Pandya.
The reception was jointly organized by IT-BHU Global Alumni Association (IBGAA), BHU Alumni based in US (BHU Parivar) and BHU Pharmacists’ Alumni Association of America (BHUAAA). About 60 alumni and their families/friends attended the meet. It was a great success.
The program started with singing of BHU Kulgeet and introduction about our Vice-Chancellor. His brief bio-data was also read out. Then a Plaque commemorating visit to New Jersey was presented to our VC by Prof. B. D. Nautiyal (retired Civil Engineering Professor from our institute). This was followed by classical dance program.
Prof. D. P. Singh made a PowerPoint presentation about BHU, its glorious past and future plan. He stated that several new faculties/programs will be introduced at the main campus in Varanasi as well as at Rajiv Gandhi South campus at Barkachha in Mirzapur district. He stressed that development of South Campus will also result in the development of this economically poor area. He appealed for help for establishing international guest house/hostel on the main campus in Varanasi.
The presentation was followed by question/answers from the audience. Regarding conversion of IT-BHU to IIT, he replied that it will happen soon as the formalities are continuing. About upgrade of Institute of Medical Sciences to AIIMS level, he assured that this will result in more central govt. funding and improvement of facilities but the institute will not be separated from the university.
The event was made possible by the help of the following volunteers: Manu Goyal, Anil Singh and Anand Maharana from IBGAA (www.itbhuglobal.org); Sushil Srivastava, Mrs. Vijaya Keshari and Arvind Srivastava from BHU Parivar (http://www.bhuparivar.net/); Chandrakant Trivedi and Dushyant Desai from BHUPAA. The sound and video systems were arranged by Chandrakant Trivedi.
