Christ to celebrate 49th alumni family day on Jan 26

Christ (deemed to be university) Alumni Association is all set to celebrate its 49th Alumni Family Day on January 26. Nearly five thousand alumni of the 50-year-old institution have already registered for the event, and the organisers are expecting more to join in.

“This time we will be felicitating all the former principals of our college. Out of 15 principals, two principals have passed away and the rest 13 principals will be felicitated at the function. Every year, we used to felicitate the top achiever from our alumni. But we decided to do something different this year. We are expecting more than five thousand alumni this year. Most of our alumni are from outside the state, a few are settled abroad and also includes NRIs. Till now more than four thousand alumni have officially registered,” addressing the press, Jugnu Uberoi, president of the alumni association said.

As is the practice every year, the alumni association has raised funds for the scholarship. “Every year we collect up to Rs 20 lakh, but this year we have collected Rs 30 lakh and a few more alumni are still expected to contribute. This will be set apart for deserving talent,” Jugnu added. The meet is scheduled for 11 am, January 26.
