Bhagat Phool Singh Women’s University, Khanpur Kalan, Vice-Chancellor Sudesh has said alumni are the invaluable heritage of any institution.

The Alumni Association was a powerful platform to bring together alumni, she added. She was addressing Smriti Kumbh, the annual alumni meet of the college, on Saturday.

As the chief guest, she officially inaugurated the programme. On the occasion, she paid homage to Bhagat Phool Singh and Subhashini Devi.

She said the joy on the faces of the alumni present at the auditorium was heart-warming. Today, active participation of women was evident in every field, including science and technology, she added.

The Vice-Chancellor said the university was not an ordinary institution, but the land of an ascetic.

For its educational development, former students must share their suggestions and ideas, she added.
