Agri varsity college alumni meet begins today

The College of Agriculture, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, is set to organise its 60th Annual Alumni Meet on February 6 and 7. Providing details about the event, Dr Prabhjodh Singh Sandhu, Secretary, Alumni Association, shared that the annual meet served as a special occasion for alumni from across the globe to reconnect with their alma mater. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation, especially from former students settled abroad, who eagerly return each year to celebrate their bond with PAU, he said.

Dr Satbir Singh Gosal, Vice-Chancellor, PAU, will be the chief guest at the event, while Dr Sardara Singh Johal, the college’s senior-most alumnus, will attend as a special invitee. This year, special recognition will be given to the 1970 (five-year programme) and 1971 (four-year programme) batches, who graduated in 1975.

The alumni meet will feature a cultural evening, with students presenting musical performances, traditional folk dances, and poetry recitals. Additionally, students who achieved academic and co-curricular excellence in the past year will be felicitated.

A key event highlight will be the addresses by distinguished alumni, who will share their experiences and insights with the current students. As in previous years, poetic recitations by alumni will be a significant attraction. The meet will also include the election of the new executive committee of the Alumni Association.
