One of our ex-students has written this mail. We are copying it verbatim on the blog. All alumni who read this post are requested to respond to this.
Dear Sir,
Firstly, I do not who I am writing this mail to. Just writing blindly to the id mentioned on the blog. Writing to the mail id given on the school website is TOTALLY USELESS! No one even acknowledges those mails, let alone reply to them. There also no one is quite sure as to whom one should address the mail to.
Secondly, in the report on last year's alumni meet, read about some fancy plans for celebration of 50 years. Any updates on those? What's the status of registration of our alumni body? Has it been done? If so, why hasn't it been updated anywhere and alumni been invited to become members?
If the alumni body is not yet registered, then may we know why it has not been registered? Surely it does not take 10 months to register an alumni association. Who is in charge of registering this? Is there any specific person who has been entrusted with this? Who runs the alumni association? Why is there so no transparency or clarity in the way the alumni is run?
Thirdly, saw that the reunion dates for next year are 7-8 January. Who decides on that date and on what basis? If you need to have it January, why not have it on the 21-22-23 Jan weekend (an extended weekend) or 28-29 Jan weekend (with 26th Jan holiday just before it)? More people could have come in from outside. Seems that the people in Durgapur do not want people from outside to attend the meet. Otherwise what's the point of keeping it at a time when it's difficult for people to come. As it is Durgapur is not New Delhi or Mumbai which are well connected by trains and flights from across the country. And, if its a fixed date for every year, then why is such a thing not communicated to all? Also, before deciding this current date, why didn't we have a poll on the blog and/or school website with 2-3 alternate dates for the reunion before zeroing in on one? (We could have at least tried checking out the response once)
Fourthly, what's the status about chapter meets? Read about the meet of Kolkata once but nothing seems to have happened there after. What about other cities?
Looking heaven-ward and hoping for a reply.
Regards,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
