ALUMNI DAY 2020UMNI DAY 2020

It was a nostalgic trip down memory lane as the alumni of SRM
came back home to celebrate Alumni Day 2020, organized by

Directorate of Alumni Affairs. Alumni and their family members
of about 2000 participated and made it a successful event.

Following the registration the event started with welcome note

by Prof. R. Venkatramani, Director Alumni Affairs.

Founder Chancellor, SRMIST and Member of Parliament (Lok
Sabha) Dr. T. R. Parivendhar said, “This is my family meet and
not merely an alumni meet.If children grow well well and enjoy
several positions that is when a father will be happy. I am really proud to hear that many are doing well. As you

grow, our University will also grow. More than that we are well recognized by every Indian and Foreign Univer-
sities both locally and globally.”

Dr. P. Sathyanarayanan, President, SRMIST, while addressing our alumni said “The campus is not just about the
buildings or roads, but it is about the embodiment of all these memories and aspirations of the present stu-

dents. AT SRMIST, the management is trying to bring a balance in the quality and quantity and thereby giving
importance to both.”

The Vice Chancellor, Dr. Sandeep Sancheti said “You are one of the highest alumni groups in terms of number,
diversity, sectors, activities and various other things. Many of you come from different fields including govern-
ment, private and entrepreneurship. So, we also need to learn from you and get your feedback to improve the

next generation of students.”

Twenty Two Alumni Awards under the category “Eminent”, “Notable” and “Distinguished” alumni were awarded
by Dr. T.R Paarivendhar.
Three other graduates were presented with endowment medals instituted by the 1991 batch alumni.
