Chronicle completes 5 years
We are pleased to state that our magazine, IT-BHU Chronicle has completed 5 years of publication. The first issue (May 2005 issue) was published on June 10, 2005.
http://www.itbhuglobal.org/chronicle/archives/2005/06/
That issue was brief and contained only the web links of the published articles. Since most of the links of the published articles are broken after a while (due to storage capacity limitations by news media), it was decided to publish full articles in subsequent issues. The Chronicle is able to publish issues month after month. It is the only engineering college news magazine in India which is regularly published online each month over a period of five years!
The decision to start a college magazine was taken during discussion among our alumni (including Anshuman Singh, Animesh Pathak, Keerty Nath, Rahul Saxena, Arun Tangri and Yogesh Upadhyaya) due to the following reasons:
*There was no official published medium to provide authentic info to IT-BHU community about institute
*Many students receiving awards and having excellent achievement could not persuade main stream media to publish the news reports about their achievements
*Even the main stream media sometimes lacked the official info about IT-BHU to IIT conversion issue
*Readers wanted in-depth information about any news related to our community
The Chronicle is a monthly online news magazine published by IT-BHU Global Alumni Association (IBGAA). The magazine represents news and views of IT-BHU (Institute of Technology-Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi) community including: students, alumni, faculty and administration. The magazine’s views are independent to those of alumni association or the institute.

The magazine faithfully records all the news and events happening for the IT-BHU community (hence the name chronicle-recorder of events). It publishes news and articles from a variety of published sources, which are important for the engineering students and professional engineers.
The Chronicle is selecting and presenting articles (with rich photographs) as it believes in golden principles of journalism, that of being educative, informative and entertaining. It avoids any controversial articles which can defame others. All news sources/web links of published articles (taken from other news media) are greatly acknowledged.
The magazine is published around 20th/25th of each month. It is mass emailed to 11,000 alumni, students and faculty of the institute. Moreover, about 3,000 estimated students/alumni from other engineering colleges and from BHU read it regularly.
