Your untiring efforts &#038; supports have ultimately enabled our fledgling ALUMNI ASSOCIATION to start<br \/>\ntaking fruitful steps towards achieving it\u2019s objectives! In the last few months, we\u2019ve achieved quite a number of things :<br \/>\nOUR ACHIEVEMENTS:<br \/>\n(A) With your generous help, we collected ONE LAKH rupees in two installments &#038; donated the same towards treatment of<br \/>\none of our brothers who is fighting with Cancer.<br \/>\n(B) We\u2019ve held a much needed &#038;, indeed, very well-attended EYE &#038; DENTAL CHECK-UP CAMP for all students in the school<br \/>\npremises itself &#038; we\u2019ve plans to make that a regular fair in future.<br \/>\n(C) This year\u2019s RE-UNION was held in the SCHOOL PREMISES itself, fulfilling a long cherished dream! And what a success it was!<br \/>\n(D) And, at long last, we now have a permanent mailing address (the same as that of the school) &#038; a permanent NOTICE<br \/>\nBOARD (in the entrance lobby of the school). We\u2019ve also donated an identical NOTICE BOARD to the school.<br \/>\n(E)<br \/>\nWe participated in the Annual School Sports of both Primary &#038; Secondary divisions &#038; provided Accessories .We also<br \/>\ndonated two trophies for Champion Sportspersons\u2014one for \u2018Prep to Class I\u2019 &#038; one for \u2018Class II to IV)- named after two<br \/>\nillustrious teachers of our Primary Section, \u2018ILA DI\u2019 &#038; \u2018RAMA DI\u2019 respectively.<br \/>\n(F) Our renewed &#038; very fruitful positive interactions with the MANAGING COMMITTEE was responsible to a great extent to<br \/>\nenable us to achieve whatever we have achieved this far. It seems now we understand each other better. It is important,<br \/>\nbecause, whatever be the changes around us, the school &#038; it\u2019s students-both present &#038; past-should remain united &#038;<br \/>\nprosper, for the benefit of the school as well for the community.<br \/>\n(G) All these have also made us realize our limitations!! We might be full of grand plans but we are hopelessly insufficient in<br \/>\nboth MANPOWER &#038; MONEYPOWER to execute them!! Now we, in consultation with the school management, are into<br \/>\nmaking small executable targets so that we can keep our commitments.<br \/>\nOUR RECENT COMMITMENTS:<br \/>\n(A) MARCH\u201913: We will donate eight ceiling fans to the school as requested by the School M.C. One of our prominent members<br \/>\nhas generously volunteered to provide for them.<br \/>\n(B) MAY\u201913: We intend to run a \u201cKEEP YOUR SCHOOL CLEAN\u201d campaign that will involve poster competitions, awareness<br \/>\nprogrammes &#038; a \u2018CLEAN THE PREMISES\u2019 drive. At the end of the campaign, we will donate sufficient number of LITTER<br \/>\nBINS to be strategically placed in different wings of the schools so as to help all concerned to maintain the cleanliness.<br \/>\n(C) OCTOBER\u201913: We intend to make permanent provisions to supply \u201cSAFE DRINKING WATER\u201d to the whole school. This will<br \/>\ninvolve constructing 4-5 strategically placed water supply terminals (each with 4-5 taps) around the school premises along<br \/>\nwith provisions of a central water purification system &#038; a major renovation of the water collection &#038; storage system.<br \/>\nOUR APPEAL:<br \/>\nWe have done the plans &#038; the \u2018costings\u2019 of the job we have taken up. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT TOTAL COST OF EXECUTING<br \/>\nTHE TWO CAMPAIGNS(B &#038; C) IS GOING TO BE AROUND Rs. 5.25 LAKHS.
