It was a great pleasure and surprise when Dr MLV Rao and Suneel Naik, Professors of Veterinary College visited my residence and invited me on 27th Dec 2013 at college auditorium to participate in an alumni meet of 1988 batch veterinarians. After 25 years of their graduation ,28 alumni out of 36 batch decided to celebrate their meet at Jabalpur Veterinary College with their family so that they can meet their old friends ,their wife and children can witness the college from where their dear ones became a Professional to challenge the world with their knowledge.
The gathering on 27th Dec 2013 was memorable as the alumni has called all the retired teachers of Vety college who were present at Jabalpur along with university authorities (this was new experience for the alumni as in their time the college was an constituent body of JNKVV). Dr Jitendra Verma, Bangalore was anchoring nicely the whole program. We the teachers over whelmed to observe respect and affection shown by our old students towards their old teachers by presenting flowers and gifts . As there is a great change in physique and social status, each alumnus introduced himself and his whole family to the audience ; teachers also blessed them by narrating some old memories and present positions.The students remembered that 1983-1988 batch was the first who was admitted through PMT; aJabalpuria' have produced their dent in every where they have worked . The lunch was more than sumptuous having Gazar ka Halua and Gulab zamun ,forgetting that many teachers though desirous to consume sweets has to control due to sugar levels. The evening witnessed a colorful cultural program , organized by the alumni and their family.
gain this was the batch having first student President (Pankaj Shukla) ,elected not by voting but on merit basis. It was a great satisfaction to hear from our old students that '
I am reproducing some photographs of this event which will remain in their mind for ever. This event also provides us satisfaction that our efforts of forming JVC Alumni Association in 1999 has given our old students to express their feelings at one platform. It is a matter of great satisfaction that JVC alumni association has started celebrating Jabalpur Veterinary College Foundation day since 8th July, 1999 and is continuing uninterruptedly till date.
I am confident that this feeling of alumni will usher a new era of organizing such meets of batch-met in coming years . I will highly appreciate to see comments on this blog ,preferably with some photographs.
