Dear Alumnus,
As you are aware, the National Executive Committee during their last meeting in August 2017 had nominated me as the Returning Officer for the elections for the position of the President and Vice-President of the National Alumni association, which was falling vacant this year, on the expiry of the tenure of the present incumbents.
Accordingly, we had embarked upon an ambitious drive to get all alumni who had so far not registered in our portal to do so, and then finalized the electoral list from the registered alumni on the portal. The list was checked and scrutinized for errors, if any, and again circulated to the registered alumni body and then nominations for the position of President and Vice-President were invited. There were two nominations for the position of President and one nomination for the position of Vice-President. Time was given for withdrawals of any nominations and then the election was conducted for the post of the President, only.
Mr Debabrata Mishra (Batch of 1991) and Mr Amit Pahuja (Batch of 2004) were the contestants for the position of the President. Mr Chandrasekhar Chitrala (Batch of 1990) was the lone contestant for the position of the Vice-President. Elections for the position of the President was conducted in early January 2018 and the results were tabulated with Mr Debabrata Mishra securing 281 votes and Mr Amit Pahuja securing 145 votes.
Therefore, I have great pleasure in announcing Mr Debabrata Mishra and Mr Chandrasekhar Chitrala as the new President and Vice-President of the national Alumni Association. Their tenure shall be for a period of two years. Hearty congratulations to both of them.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing President, Sri Sudhanshu Sekhar Mishra and the outgoing Vice-President, Sri Pradeep Thacker for their valuable and excellent service to the Alumni association during their tenure as office bearers.

Secretary and Faculty Alumni Coordinator
