Dear BNNVian,
Congratulations! Your untiring efforts & supports have ultimately enabled our fledgling ALUMNI ASSOCIATION to start
taking fruitful steps towards achieving it’s objectives! In the last few months, we’ve achieved quite a number of things :
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS:
(A) With your generous help, we collected ONE LAKH rupees in two installments & donated the same towards treatment of
one of our brothers who is fighting with Cancer.
(B) We’ve held a much needed &, indeed, very well-attended EYE & DENTAL CHECK-UP CAMP for all students in the school
premises itself & we’ve plans to make that a regular fair in future.
(C) This year’s RE-UNION was held in the SCHOOL PREMISES itself, fulfilling a long cherished dream! And what a success it was!
(D) And, at long last, we now have a permanent mailing address (the same as that of the school) & a permanent NOTICE
BOARD (in the entrance lobby of the school). We’ve also donated an identical NOTICE BOARD to the school.
(E)
We participated in the Annual School Sports of both Primary & Secondary divisions & provided Accessories .We also
donated two trophies for Champion Sportspersons—one for ‘Prep to Class I’ & one for ‘Class II to IV)- named after two
illustrious teachers of our Primary Section, ‘ILA DI’ & ‘RAMA DI’ respectively.
(F) Our renewed & very fruitful positive interactions with the MANAGING COMMITTEE was responsible to a great extent to
enable us to achieve whatever we have achieved this far. It seems now we understand each other better. It is important,
because, whatever be the changes around us, the school & it’s students-both present & past-should remain united &
prosper, for the benefit of the school as well for the community.
(G) All these have also made us realize our limitations!! We might be full of grand plans but we are hopelessly insufficient in
both MANPOWER & MONEYPOWER to execute them!! Now we, in consultation with the school management, are into
making small executable targets so that we can keep our commitments.
OUR RECENT COMMITMENTS:
(A) MARCH’13: We will donate eight ceiling fans to the school as requested by the School M.C. One of our prominent members
has generously volunteered to provide for them.
(B) MAY’13: We intend to run a “KEEP YOUR SCHOOL CLEAN” campaign that will involve poster competitions, awareness
programmes & a ‘CLEAN THE PREMISES’ drive. At the end of the campaign, we will donate sufficient number of LITTER
BINS to be strategically placed in different wings of the schools so as to help all concerned to maintain the cleanliness.
(C) OCTOBER’13: We intend to make permanent provisions to supply “SAFE DRINKING WATER” to the whole school. This will
involve constructing 4-5 strategically placed water supply terminals (each with 4-5 taps) around the school premises along
with provisions of a central water purification system & a major renovation of the water collection & storage system.
OUR APPEAL:
We have done the plans & the ‘costings’ of the job we have taken up. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT TOTAL COST OF EXECUTING
THE TWO CAMPAIGNS(B & C) IS GOING TO BE AROUND Rs. 5.25 LAKHS. Detail project report by our expert committee will
be available to you on or before 30th April, 2013. To meet those targets & to solve our resource problems, the present
executive committee appeals to you to please take the following steps:
(1) Be a LIFE MEMBER. We are starting a Life membership drive. Please avail of that ASAP. You can have the details from the
Annexure. This will help us to generate a fund which will be useful for our future plans.
(2) Please take time off your busy schedule to enroll at least 5 new members in the next 3 months.
(3) Please ask the new members to do the same(enroll 5 new members in next 3 months).
(4) Please DONATE GENEROUSLY whatever you can & ASAP. Details of the procedure are in the Annexure. We need to arrange
for those FIVE & A QUARTER LAKHS by mid-SEPTEMBER so as to maintain our committed timeline.
(5) Please interact with the COMMITTEE MEMBERS: We need to communicate more amongst ourselves. This can be via letters,
phone calls, personal contacts or Websites. We need your opinion. We are trying to improve our website so that it can be
more interactive.
We firmly believe that, given the way you have nurtured the Alumni Association till date against all odds, we shall, with
your help, overcome all handicaps & barriers to fulfill our dreams & commitments vis-à-vis BNNV-our ALMA MATER & our PRIDE.
Thanking you in anticipation,
