, “28th February will mark my calendar as one of the most extra-ordinary days I ever had in my life. It was great to get back to my own campus, were nature’s ravishing beauty revived the spirit of joy yet again. Every moment spent on that day, reminded of four beautiful years of engineering and what a nostalgic feeling it was! Thanks to the department specific meet, I could interact with my teachers at a very different level and the feeling was amazing. Overall, great effort from the organizers to come up with this brilliant program and yes, I feel short of words for more laudatory remarks.”

“It is said that one always feels a connection with one's alma mater no matter where one is and what one is doing. But retaining the connection between the institution and the individual is no easy job. Kudos to the Amritians team for putting up a great show and for organizing an event of such a large scale without any hitches. I am eagerly looking forward for future events and hope that the strong connection I have with Amrita will become even stronger as time flies by.”

“Amritians are working so closely with its members in various areas like Entrepreneurship, mentorship, and Social Service Wing, etc. With this ever expanding strong network of Amrita Alumni, we are confident that we will be able to organize such events in large scale in the future also.”, Gokuldas.G., Manager – Alumni Relations said.
