Dear Reader,
Nehru Hall held a kick-off/pooja event on March 29th to mark the beginning of their major modernization project. This event brought together (both in person and virtually) Nehruites, past and present, students, administrators and distinguished guests to introduce and formally launch the alumni-initiated modernization project. You can view a recording of the event by clicking here.
Also, a formal award ceremony was held at IIT KGP on March 27th to honor notable alumni and eminent professors. The alumni honored were Mr. Vinod Gupta ('67) with the DSc. Honoris Causa Award, Mr. Asoke Deysarkar ('71) with the Life Fellow Award, and Mr. Kalyan Chakrabarti ('63) with the Distinguished Alumnus Award. You can read more about the ceremony and awards in the newsletter article below.
Congratulations to the awardees and to Nehru Hall on kicking off their renovations!
