  It is  always a joyous moment when the alumni visit their alma mater, even more so when they are the ones who not only make us proud but the entire nation feels safe because of their valor.

   

  25 serving and retired alumni from the defence services visited BITS Pilani for the 1st BITS Defence Officers' Reunion during 5-7 April, 2019. The two-day event saw alumni across batches renewing friendships and reliving their time on the campus, alongside conversations, interactions, and entertainment. The alumni also had some informative and engaging discussions with the students about their experiences, joys and challenges of defence as a career. The alumni inspired and guided the students for opting the appropriate career.

   

  Welcoming the alumni, Prof. Souvik Bhattacharyya, the Vice Chancellor, BITS, Pilani said, “We are immensely proud of the great accomplishments of our alumni. These officers have not only made their institute proud but the entire nation proud with their selfless and dedicated contributions.” He also shared about BITS’ future direction and suggested path for alumni to be a part of its journey towards excellence. Prof. A K Sarkar, the Director, Pilani Campus welcoming the Alumni said that their experience and talent are valuable both for the students and Institute’s growth. 

   

  Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Arya Kumar, the Dean Alumni Relations showed gratitude to the officers for their selfless contribution to the nation and called for more BITSians to join the armed forces and contribute to their alma mater in multiple ways. He also stressed upon the importance of continuous engagement with the alumni for a meaningful exchange of expertise and contribution for taking BITS, Pilani to even greater heights.

   

  Back on the campus after a long gap, the alumni were brimming with emotions. “It is great to come back to our campus and meet old friends,” said Col. Gautam Banerjee. The campus now looks very different for Col PS Sangwan, who said, “Life was different at that time. The campus has grown up.” Rear Admiral Arun Saxena stated that BITS is the one institution that has contributed a lot to defence services and BITSians from defence services would be eager to contribute in promoting research and other teaching initiatives in their Alma mater to take it to great heights.
