I feel honoured while writing the blog for the Yearbook-2020 on the request of the longest ever served SAIL
Team 2020 with its four strong pillars, Mr Mayank Singla as General Secretary, Mr Pankaj Kumar and Mr Omkar
Desai as Associate General Secretaries, and a big team of executives.
I am pretty sure that each one of you will do your best in whichever field you are inspite of all the challenges
this COVID19 pandemic imposes, and that’s the confidence inculcated in you by your alma mater. Many of you
might be remembering your first day at this institute while writing the testimonials for the Yearbook and
cherishing beautiful memories of your adolescent years back when you came to this institute as budding
seeds and today you’ve grown into lush green trees providing shelter to your families and strengthening the
organizations you are going to work with. I feel happy to see the shining stars in you, and would like to congratulate all my fellow
colleagues who have tried their best to inculcate in you the qualities of remaining grounded while you reach the skies of success. At the
same time, I would urge you to follow good ethics and be an inspiration to society as you represent an Indian Institute around the globe.
Further, I personally appreciate the idea of an alumni meet, as it strengthens the bond with an alma mater. Such a reunion provides the
Alumni a platform to greet their teachers, revive memories and inspire the young minds. To realize this dream, the alumni and external
relations (AER) office and the Student Alumni Interaction Linkage (SAIL) team worked very hard to have one maiden Alumni meet in
March 2020 as the beginning of a new tradition so that the bond between the alumni and institute may become stronger in coming
years. However, the alumni meet could not be realized owing to continued pandemic limitations but surely the efforts will remain on and
we all will come back soon strongly and enthusiastically to organize the Alumni meet, with in campus presence of our Alumni.
My best wishes to all of you in all your endeavors and urge you to take all precautions to maintain a healthy life.
Happy reading! and See you again and again!
