Vidyanatariksha is a conjugation of the words vidya

03

Vidyanatariksha is a conjugation of the words ‘vidya’ and ‘antariksha’. ‘Vidya’ means knowledge, information, the basis of creativity and innovation. It is the foundation of technology and envisages the future. ‘Antariksha’ means ‘the sky’ the space which we belong to or exist. It can be broken into ‘antar’ and’Ikshan’ which means inner vision. Hence the combination, the core promise becomes “The reality of inner vision or root of all knowledge”.

Manav Rachna signifies the creation of human beings or individuals with attention to all components of holistic growth. The concept of 'Manav' is accorded the fundamental status. The true essence of Manav Rachna Vidyanatariksha is thus to create human beings who have an inner desire to gain knowledge.

and antariksha. Vidya means knowledge, information

We empower and support individuals who are pursuing their dreams in higher and professional education - because it's those people who make our world amazing.

Founder visionary Dr. O.P. Bhalla's vision and dream of uplifting education and human values to the pinnacle has seen Manav Rachna guided and motivated in all its endeavours. Dr. O.P. Bhalla had a dream of educating every child possible. Not only did he aim at academic excellence in the Manav Rachna Educational Institutions, his focus was on 'Manav ki Rachna & creation' of better human beings in every sense of the word. The dream continues to this day to take it forward and keep on contributing to make it a reality.

If you’re serious about your dream,

Dr. O P Bhalla. Not a mere persona but a visionary and dynamic educationist who literally shaped an educational movement called Manav Rachna with the intent to create better human beings. The mission continues with Manav Rachna Educational Institutions dedicated and committed as always to train and equip its students with latest knowledge and skills in the chosen fields in the backdrop of Indian ethos and values to enable them to face any global challenge with a view to transform them into insightful, honourable and responsible citizens of this great country and to imbibe a work culture of theoretical and applied research leading to creation and dissemination of knowledge.

CELEBRATING FREEDOMCelebrating freedom is an organization which works towards the individualistic freedom of people from all walks of life. It promotes the cause of fighting for self- freedom. Even though the fight does not involve any rivals, it's a war with the inner self. Aim is to create a platform where everybody can celebrate their freedom pursue what they actually want to and perform what they love the most.

Celebrating freedom creates a platform for any cause which may be concern for the youth, the elderly, the working class, any Non-Profit organization or an NGO.

This platform could be a festival, an event or a movement which would cater to audiences and bring people on one forum through entertainment value and eventually cater to the cause through AID raising, unlike any other organization which may work for FUND RAISING or CHARITY.

CELEBRATING FREEDOM is a Profit organization and shall work towards supporting NGOS and others through substance, materials, resources, aids and anything except FUNDS/monetary help.

Celebrating freedom staff caters to various causes that NGOS World over are fight for. It helps them in aiding them with substantial material through creative means by utilizing youth talent.

It provides cultural and entertainment sources to audiences by motivating the youth in pursuing their talents and eventually help nonprofit organizations to fulfill their deficit of aid like bold banks, raw materials, employment, human resource, platelets, organ donations, free health checks and much more. The staff works in the similar fashion towards a holistic empowerment targeting the following-human right, empowerment, health & hygiene, education, healthcare etc.

Celebrating freedom is an initiative; it's a movement and a revolution towards the holistic empowerment of our societies, individuals and minds of millions. It survives to fight with our inner selves to bring the best out of each other in unison.

It stands out of others through the vision it holds. It just doesn't celebrate freedom at a small level, instead it is holistic which empowers the youth and uplift them in utilizing talent at the right time with the right people for the right cause.

MAKING A D IFFERENCE , TRANSFORMING LIVES

Committed to Founder VisionaryDr O.P. Bhalla's ideals of nation building, Dr O.P. Bhalla Foundation, a trust with philanthropy as its sole objective under the banner of Manav Rachna Educational Institutions (MREI), has been carrying forward the philanthropic vision and rich legacy of Dr. O.P. Bhalla through a series of ISR activities. Through Skill Development workshops, the Foundation has been providing youths with the necessary skills for a livelihood, through the “Say No to Polythene” pledge.

SCHOLARLY PURSUITWe guide our students to find their own academic paths by helping them to reason, analyze and understand in unprecedented ways. The academic experience at MREI is characterized by a spirit of academic energy, exploration and challenge.

INFLUENCED STUDYWe have enriched resources to connect professional education to the processes of inquiry and discovery. MREI students explore ideas by collaborating directly with our exceptional faculty in a programme of study that focuses on interdisciplinary exploration.

ENGAGED IMMERSIONA student's education doesn't end at the classroom door. We provide an incredible variety of opportunities for students to enhance in-class learning with hands-on experiences, service in the community and development of leadership skills.

THE MREI SPIRIT: CULTURE OF CHAMPIONS THROUGH EXCELLENCEWe view education not only as a gateway to personal development, but also as a pathway for improving society.

THE MREI PHILOSPHYACCESS AND FLEXIBILITY

THROUGH FACULTYWithin the ranks of MREI's faculty are scholars of national & international prominence in every area of academic study.

THROUGH SPORTSOur students play because they are passionate, they love sports and they love to represent MREI.

THE MREI AMBIENCE: AMAZING ABUNDANCE OF OPPORTUNITIESTo turn MREI opportunities into personal strengths, one has to desire them, reach out to them, and actively incorporate them. It's an individual choice, but it matters what one does.

ENERGIES OF INTELLIGENCE & CREATIVITYA great institution is a scene of constant combustion, where energies of intelligence and creativity are released in a bonfire of innovation and evolution.

HIGHEST REALIZATION OF HUMAN POWERSLike raising the benchmark, MREI is dedicated to the highest realization of human powers.

17

Welcome!Since its inception, MREI has been a distinctive intellectual and educational community, and the values that underpinned its establishment have been an important guide since that time. Marking the 20th anniversary of MREI's founding will provide special opportunities for reflection on these values and how their manifestations over time have shaped us and our vital work in knowledge disbursement.

Perhaps the most distinctive attribute in 20 years has been its deep and unwavering commitment to open discourse, free expression, and a singular focus on rigorous inquiry. Visionary founder Dr. O P Bhalla viewed free expression as an essential basis for an institution where strength of ideas, not social standing or other considerations, would determine success in education and research. It is a legacy we have all inherited and a value we must preserve.

When MREI was founded 20 years ago, it set itself apart from most comparable institutions by its commitment to the admission of persons from all backgrounds who could benefit from and contribute to the intellectual life.

Our visionary founder foresaw Manav Rachna as a natural partner both for the region's ambitions and to address thewell-being of the community. For him, none was more important for MREI's academic eminence and impact than an insistence on recruiting and supporting the finest faculty in the world. This remains our standard in every field represented here. Our success depends upon the constant commitment of faculty who recognise that generating ideas that enrich understanding, enhance human life, contribute to the stewardship of the world's cultures, and create the environment for inquiry-based education form the core of MREI's inheritance and its future.

I am grateful for the dedication that everyone has demonstrated towards 20 years of excellence at MREI. I feel a profound sense of responsibility for being part of MREI's proud legacy of groundbreaking ideas and transformational educational experiences and building on the strong foundation created by Dr. Bhalla.

With education and knowledge at an inflection point, we must strive to equip future leaders with the competence and character to address emerging challenges.

My blessings.

MREI has been successfully fostering leaders for two decades now. Students learn the skill required to work together to meet or address leadership challenges through problem-based learning. They are able to step into zones of certainty and uncertainty both with confidence and humility in order to engage others in working toward a common goal.

Across 20 years, a differentiating factor of MREI is the encouragement students receive to look inward first to identify their own values before moving forward as a leader.

As always, as foreseen by visionary founder Dr. O P Bhalla, MREI has supported would-be leaders in understanding and applying the best of leadership theory in their own personal, supervisory, team and strategic contexts for 20 years. The mark of excellence continues, by offering an innovative approach to learning and practicing leadership through experiential method and attention to students as whole people.

Here, the learning processes engage people in meaningful dialogue and inquiry to co-create new answers to seemingly intractable challenges. Students get in touch with who they are, who they want to be as a leader and how they show up as a leader. They also reflect on where they were, where they're at and where they want to go in the future. The programmes begin with self and ripple outward from there. They help develop leadership skills around understanding how our very presence alone has an impact on the organization and the outcomes for the world.

We feel proud to have a distinctive intellectual tradition that thrives on research plus innovation and academic rigour. Our Career Development Centre accelerates this endeavour. That's why MREI continues to move forward.

As we move forward, we continue to find ways to meet student expectations and provide them with the quality attention they need and deserve. We set high expectations for our students and establish engaging curricula and learning environments. We provide students with skills and experiences needed to succeed in a complex, technology-driven, global society. Our global-tie ups and illustrious corporate tie ups provide launch platforms for students.

Our theme on this 20th year centres on excellence in sports to nurture excellence in studies and wholesome development of students.

Welcome to a global world, where you come not just to study but to absorb a universe and an ethos of challenging yesterday and asking big questions about tomorrow.

Padmashri Dr. Pritam Singh - an inspiring role model, has spent his life tirelessly doing what he does best: awakening students, academia, corporate heads, & policymakers to raise their excellence to the next level. As the Chairman and Member of several policymaking committees and bodies of Government of India, he has stamped his perspective on policy issues that surround both management education and corporate management in India.

Dr Singh turned around the fortunes of both MDI and and IIML, and, quite fittingly, earned the repute of being the “Midas Touch”Director

Manav Rachna Educational Institutions (MREI) is unique academic Organization in India. It is powerfully engaged in the socio-technical and economical transformation of India through creation, dissemination and application of new frontiers of knowledge.

Functioning of the great Institutions is made with the following three philosophical overtones.

• Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself (John Dewey)• Thought without action does not have any value and an action without thought

is a futile action (Vivekanand)• What I read I forget, what I see I remember, what I do I understand - that is

learning by doing.

MREI is distinct Gurukula working primarily around the above philosophical paradigm. It is confluence of galaxy of thought and action leaders from different walks of life. The Universities are engaging in architecting and shaping young minds and business leaders who:

• Look beyond, look around and look within,• Develop undaunted curiosity to continuously learning and grow as holistic leaders,• Can powerfully connect horizons with the ground reality,• Can efficiently connect scattered dots and create powerful mosaic and rainbow

of managerial skills.• Seek higher results with the helicopter perspective,• Develop capabilities to handle Complexity, Ambiguity, Uncertainty and Volatility,• Are socially responsible and ethical prudent in their behavior and conduct,• Can create tomorrow, today with entrepreneurial vision and out-of-box thinking.

MREI has galaxy of thought leaders. It has great campuses with lush green surrounding by the Aravali Hills and enchanting forest. If you want to emerge as a great leader and develop the above qualities, I invite you to join MREI for building a glorious and meaningful life.

Best Wishes,

Prof (Dr.) Pritam Singh

ValuingImaginationWe do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already, we have the power to imagine better. Imagination gives one the ability to empathize with others. Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.

We value imagination in a much broader sense. It's amazing how technology gives us new pathways to learn and create.

Water Conservation and Management Centre of Excellence

Currently, around half of all urban dwellers live in cities and almost 10 percent of urban dwellers live in megacities. As cities around the world experience this exploding growth, the need to ensure they can expand sustainably, operate efficiently and maintain a high quality of life for residents, becomes even greater than it is today. This is where smart cities come into the picture.

The term "smart cities" is trending amongst governments, urban planners and even the private sector to address the projected demands of cities in the future. Making cities smarter to support growth is emerging as a key area of focus for governments and the private sector alike. Smart cities are about to make huge investments to uplift the infrastructure, economy, energy efficiency, and nevertheless environment. Smart cities encompass six important sectors that need to work in unison to achieve a common goal of making a city more livable, sustainable and efficient for its residents. These sectors are smart energy, smart integration, smart public services, smart mobility, smart buildings, and smart water.

49

50

One of the most critical factors for the

growth and sustenance of a smart city is

its water system. With populations in cities

growing, it is inevitable that water

consumption will grow as well. The term

"smart water" points to water and wastewater

infrastructure that ensures this precious

resource - and the energy used to transport

it - is managed effectively. A city's water

distribution and management system must

be sound and viable in the long term to

maintain its growth and should be equipped

with the capacity to be monitored and

networked with other critical systems to

obtain more sophisticated and granular

information on how they are performing

and affecting each other. Water loss

management becomes highly important

as supplies are likely to be stressed by

population growth. A medium-sized city

with 100 million gallons per day of

produced water that loses about 25 percent

might incur millions of rupees per year in

non-recoverable labor, chemical and energy

expenses.

Today, we are entering the era of smart

cities, where the city is a hub of innovation,

entrepreneurship and technology. It's

paperless, wireless and cashless. It is equally

impertinent that we make our Earth and

Water resources burden less and persistent.

With this background, Centre for Advanced

Water Technology & Research has been

setup at MRIU campus which comprises

scientists, technocrats, professionals,

academicians, members of RWAs, etc as

MRIU consortium. This would focus on all

the problems associated with water and its

issues and would bring about awareness

and solutions in this area.

CAREERDEVELOPMENT CENTRE

Ms. Gauri BhasinHead - Career Development Centre &Manav Rachna Centre of Foreign Languages

A well-developed mind, passion to learn, and the ability to put knowledge to work are the new keys to the future of our young people, the success of businesses, and the economic wellbeing of the nation. India has undergone colossal transformation leaving fresh graduates to fulfill greater expectations because of the ever growing competition & need for excellence.

Nothing fuels the debate between the worlds of education and work so much as the subject of employability skills. CDC - the training arm of Manav Rachna, is accorded with the profound responsibility of imparting employability coaching - an aspect that in today's world has taken as much prominence as the technical know-how. We aspire to provide a bridge between education and employment. Our approach supports learners in a seamless transition from education to work, training them to provide the confidence they need and employers the evidence of the skills they demand.

At CDC, we understand that for students to achieve exponential success, their interests and capabilities have to be aligned with each other. Hence, our interface with students starts when they are about to leave the protective cocoon of school and about to enter the realms of higher education. At this stage we offer comprehensive psychometric profiling for career assessment and have also accredited some well accomplished members with illustrious background as Career Advisors. They bear the responsibility of counseling the students to seek greater clarity about the opportunities that they can leverage right at the beginning to broaden their career prospects.

CDC remains an integral part of a student's journey at Manav Rachna. Through a robust mechanism we impart training in personality, soft skills, aptitude and communication spread across semesters, as an embedded part of every course available at MR.

In addition to offering programmes in a plethora of fields, CDC provides a wide array of contemporary and niche set as well that help budding professionals to build an edge over others. SAP academy, Communication Gym, MR Centre of Foreign Languages and an in house Study centre by Career Launcher are some arenas which have been established to leave no stone unturned in making our students a sought after brigade of professionals.

At MREI, living by the philosophy of “Nurturing Young Minds”, we firmly believe that it is both our duty and privilege to harness the unleashed potential of our youth capital to enable them to discover and foster their talent.

CAREERDEVELOPMENT CENTREThe beacon of excellence offering expanded opportunities to its takers.

Manav Rachna Educational Instutions (MREI) firmly believes that “The only thing that remains constant is the change”. India has gone through a great transformation leaving fresh graduates to fulfill greater expectations and rightly so because of the ever growing competition and need for excellence. This has resulted in the largely talked about “industry - academia gap” where recruiters often complain about unemployable graduates.

MREI recognizes this issue and to ensure employability of students, has a designated unit -The Career Development Center (CDC) - a team of industrious faculty members who work ardently to build on those aspects of a student which are left untouched by classroom teaching in the usual course. CDC remains an integral part of a student's journey at Manav Rachna right from the beginning of the course until the graduation.

Espousing New Knowledge in the New Age EraCDC imparts training on various aspects of Personality, Soft skills, Aptitude and Communication through a robust mechanism spread across semesters as part of the curriculum of every program. With this being the primary function, CDC goes the extra mile in enhancing the employability of students through a basket of other offerings available exclusively at Manav Rachna.

CDC as a dedicated entity perpetually thinks about adding value to the students so that they take the world head-on and shoulder responsibilities that they fittingly deserve.

In this ever shrinking world, the employers are desirous of employing the human capital which is diverse. At that moment, it becomes essential to know your place and position in the industry/ market. To help the students know this, CDC has tie ups with some of India's largest assessment networks like Aspiring Minds, CoCubes.com, E litmus to name a few, which provides employability prospects to students over and above in-house opportunities. These assessments are multi-dimensional adaptive instruments that measure the knowledge, skills, and personality required for multiple job roles and provide accurate assessment of a candidate's ability.

A student undergoes a battery of tests & the best result is shared with the companies. We also have a comprehensive feedback mechanism in place for the students.

Beyond the Curriculum: Personality EnhancementKeeping true to its principal motto of out of the box thinking, impeccable execution and continuous effort to improve, we at Manav Rachna Educational Institutions (MREI) are constantly inspired by the greater good to undertake avant-garde initiatives for students.

There is no denial to the fact that personality plays a critical role in shaping our future. Keeping this in mind, the overall grooming of our youth capital is our cynosure.

Personality development is an exhaustive and profound process and hence, at CDC the mentoring of students starts from the very first semester itself, encompassing but not limited to enhancing professional and business communication skills; shaping up and further refining the notions, opinions, perceptions and attitude of an individual. We at CDC undertake all of this through a comprehensive & a robust training program devised for young minds. The lean team of CDC consists of some well accomplished members with illustrious backgrounds who act as Career Advisors for different faculties at Manav Rachna.

Aligning the right aptitude: Aptitude DevelopmentAptitude development is a token of exclusivity at MREI. The statistics reveal that 70 percent of world's recruitment companies use aptitude test as a part of their recruitment procedure. Thus, developing the right aptitude is paramount for securing better jobs. We at MREI help students in exploring and honing this natural talent by giving them a better understanding of their own aptitude.

• At CDC, students are subjected to numerous aptitude problems of Numerical ability, Logical reasoning and Verbal Ability from as early as third semester.

• Mega events inclusive of fun games and exercises are conducted from time to time that provides our students the necessary edge which would help them to stand out from the crowd.

• By solving aplenty of such problems, the confidence of the students is boosted while sitting through the placements in the final year.

Employability Augmentation: Listen to wise Longinus when he proclaimed “when you learn something of the outside, you realize something from the inside”. Giving shape to that something, we at CDC aspire to hone that inner zeal of students which would mobilize him/ her to continue doing better.Employability has many definitions but they break down into two broad groups. The first is the ability of a student to get, retain, and evolve in his/her profession after graduation. The other is the enhancement of the student's attributes, skills, knowledge and attitude ultimately empowering the student for his life.

CDC at MREI with its holistic approach orchestrates and trains students on the interactive attributes such as: • Communication skills

• Interpersonal skills and team function

• Intellect and problem solving

• Analytic, Critical and reflective ability

• Willingness to learn and continue learning

• Flexibility and adaptability

• Risk Taking

• Self Skills

By inculcating these skills in students, we pave a pathway for them to elevate their employability quotient.

The Corporate Consociate:CDC has also spread out its wings outside the physical boundaries of Manav Rachna where it extends its services to Corporate Houses. The proficient army of CDC is well equipped to customize modules as per the requirement of the companies. This ensures that a well devised personality enhancement program can be directed to elevate the employees to the level desired by the company.

Communication GymCommunication is the lifeblood of any transaction that takes place in the world and hence communication ability is the most sought after non-academic skill by employers all over the World - irrespective of the industry or the job profile. Whether it is about being able to grasp what is being taught in the class, or appearing for an interview during recruitment or amalgamating well in a workplace, a person with appreciable communication skills is often seen surpassing his counterparts with lesser degree of interaction capabilities.

Manav Rachna in collaboration with Vision Net devised an integrated, one of its kind language lab for providing its students state of the art facilities to make communication enhancement engaging and fun filled. This language lab called the “Communication Gym” is equipped with interactive software that helps in providing individualized teaching to students, depending on their abilities.

The Communication Gym uses a unique blend of Trainer-led and Self-Led learning. This methodology exposes the learner to both real-life scenarios and situational learning using simulation techniques, coupled with cutting-edge technology and multimedia rich content. Manav Rachna is proud to bring this feature to its students & is certain that it will help them gain the much required edge in this competitive World

CORPORATE RESOURCE CENTRE (CRC)

Corporate Resource Centre (CRC) is one of the facilitating units of Manav Rachna Educational Institutions (MREI), which engages with the industry and constantly strives for expanding the industry-academia interface. In the institutions providing professional courses, it is the dream of every student to get a job offer through campus placement while still being in the Institution and join it immediately after passing out. The placement-profile of a campus is a paramount indicator of an institution's prestige in the contemporary society. It instills enthusiasm among the campus students, confidence among the parents of aspiring students and registers recognition by the industry.

Fulfilling these dreams of the students has been a constant endeavor of Corporate Resource Centre (CRC) at Manav Rachna. The CRC also gathers information, through close and regular interactions with the leading recruiters, regarding the knowledge and skills requirements of the industry and advises the institutions / faculties under MREI to incorporate them to make our students even more industry ready and job ready.

MREI was able to break the barrier of declining placements due to global and national economic melt-down and recession in the last few years and attracted reputed multinational & Indian companies for campus placements. For 2015 Batch, a total of 182 companies organized the placement drives, of which 72 were new companies. A total of 926 students were placed through the campus placement.

Wg Cdr P K Sinha (Retd)Director-CRCQualifications: BTech (Mech), PG DIE (NITIE, Mumbai). M.Sc.-Mil. Studies (Madras Univ.)Experience: 38 Years

Some of the eminent recruiters conducting placement in 2015 include TCS, Accenture, IBM, Cognizant, HCL Technologies, FineEdge, JBM, L&T Infotech, Naukri.com, Nestle, NIIT Technologies, Safenet, Sony India, Yamaha Motor Solutions, IFB, IREO, Raheja Builders, Radisson Blu Plaza, Sadbhav Engineering Ltd, The Grand Hotel, Times Business Solutions Ltd., Xerox and the likes.

Securing significant placement figures, despite shrinkage in the job market due to economic slowdown, bears testimony to the fact that in MREI, the teaching-learning pedagogy is in sync with the industry.

During the recessionary phase, most of the companies tend to become cautious and resort to selective / limited hiring. They scout for multi-skilled and IT savvy talent equipped with sound domain knowledge, immaculate soft skills and positive attitude. It is, therefore, imperative for the students, who desire to pick up a lucrative job in the final year, to work hard from the first semester onwards for making themselves job ready. Towards this end, in MREI, there is a dedicated Career Development Cell (CDC) to assist, guide and mentor students in honing industry relevant skill sets. It is important for students to understand that the Institution can only afford job opportunities and help students enhance their employment quotient. Competing in the selection process and getting selected is totally dependent on their performance and competency.

In an effort to streamline the placement process the CRC makes use of an 'Online Registration Portal' for campus placement. All students in their final years are eligible to log-in through the CRC website. The primary data is filled-up and authenticated by the students which enable them to be considered for placement drives. The academic data is uploaded directly from the authenticated data made available from the examination department & verified by the faculty TPOs. It helps CRC in identifying the eligible students for a particular campus drive based on the criteria provided by recruiting company. It also provides the required information for the management of CRC processes & systems.

The Corporate Resource Centre strives to get more and more recruiting companies on-board the placement calendar of MRIU and it is heartening to note that each year we have been doing better than the previous one. In addition, as the CRC keeps abreast with the needs of the job market during its interaction with the industries, it provides valuable input to the teaching faculty regarding the market-relevant skills so to prepare our students to become more employable, equipped with market ready skills.

This year many new companies are also expected to visit the Campus for “On Campus” recruitments. For more details about the year-wise placements of the students of MREI, visit our website link: www.manavrachna.edu.in

“To succeed, we must perform. To perform, we must know.To know we must study and prepare. To prepare, we must be committed.”

Manav Rachna Alumni Connect

Alumni, which literally translates to a

former student of an institution, is an

asset that their alma mater cherishes.

90

Life is to connect. Individual interaction,

communication, is the key to conveying

thoughts. With the conception of

Alumni Association, every alumni of

Manav Rachna irrespective of the

department, institute or school they

belong to now have access to a single

communication channel for all of their

engagement needs. Alumni, which

literally translates to a former student

of an institution, is an asset that their

alma mater cherishes.

With every step that the alumni take

towards the realization of their dreams,

the institution relives the fond memories

of it. The nurturing of that dream, the

sweat of the dreamer to make it

happen, everything, everyday,

knowingly or unknowingly, the

knowledge temple, the mother, the

alma mater breathes with its children.

Alumni Association is the homecoming of these children, a gateway to the nostalgia, their second home a click away. Born, to this dream, the Manav Rachna Alumni associations aim to support alumni with networking suppor t , p rogress i ve career opportunities and provide direction for entrepreneurship. This will help them move through their career goals and dreams. In addition to being the corporate mentor, engagement with the alumni, through cultural and social events and reunions is also on the list.

Knowledge liberates, in view to this, the Alumni Association has planned to offer digital as well as personal access to Dr. O.P. Bhalla Central Library, and its plethora of knowledge resources including books, journals and research papers. In addition to the library, the alumni will also have access to online question corner where they can ask the expert faculty their queries pertaining to academic or corporate experience.

We are also in the process of building a digital platform, both web and mobile based, an information and nostalgia centre for the alumni which will engage them to their batch mates, inform about new changes and achievements, engage through local and central events and offer seamless communication of alumni to alumni, alumni to faculty/ university/ institute, and alumni to the association. This will enable the flow of information and help them connect amongst themselves and to their alma mater. Subsequently, with the appointment of a Coordinator, Alumni Relations, the alumni now have a single point contact to their institutions.

“Once a Manav Rachnian, always a Manav Rachnian.”
