Vote of thanks

Prof. P.S. Tripathi

Prof. P.S. Tripathi, thanked all the alumni who have been constantly supporting the Institute

and motivating the students to work hard by providing scholarships. Also, Prof. P.S. Tripathi

thanked Alumni present for being a part of the National Alumni Meet and inspiring students

by their inspirational words

The cultural event After the lunch break, the celerity was revived with brilliant performances of students. The

cultural event began with Saraswati Vanda followed by a Bharathanatyam peformance of

Shiva Vandana.

Sayontika Bhattacharya, Performing Shiv Vandana

Recalling the old college days a poem was presented which was followed by a melodious

flute redention and a rock performance which added all colors of different cultures to the

event.

Lakshit Garg, presenting poetry Akash Singh, developed the magic of his flute

The next performance brought on stage the power of the modern day lady being an

all-rounder capable of protecting her dignity independently.

Srishti and group (Institute of Management Studies, Agri-Business)

Next came the euphonious performances that made the entire event brisk and cheerful. And

what added to the alacrity was a performance by alumni of batch 2013, Mr. Baran Singh

Nostalgia- a small word indeed but envelopes so many things at a time. It is a mystic cloud

that is often preferred over what is real to be honest. The next act brought a trail of memories

as it depicted the entire MBA journey.

Short play by Agribusiness Students

It is said that a poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom and when it is related to a place

where you have spent your joy, laughter and sorrow with friends, it makes it even more

idiosyncratic. The last performance of the day was a Rajasthani Folk dance on a few famous

songs of Bollywood.

Geetanjali and group, performed the Rajasthani Folk Dance

“Life gives us brief moments with one another…but sometimes in those brief

moments we get memories that last a lifetime.”

Such lively moments were added to the day with the filler events organized by the students

where the alumni took part with utmost enthusiasm.

And with this the long awaited day came to an end with the beginning of a journey

reinvigorating the old bonds.

When the newspapers read-“BHUMAA 2018”

The event got covered by some of the leading dailies of Varanasi applauding the success of

the event giving glimpses of the occasion where the IM-BHU family celebrated love, unity

and prosperity.

hearts and minds that were at the reunion. Like I said when we were planning the

reunion, this is a “once in a lifetime experience” and all of us were truly privileged

and blessed. The students must have worked tirelessly to put together a fantastic

show under the guidance of our ever popular Mathur Sir whose energy levels beat

most of us hands down. Special thanks must go out to the boys at Management

Hostel for allowing us to be a part of their lives for a few hours. We could relieve

some of our cherished memories and partake of a special meal in the mess we made

our own for 2years. Our best wishes and blessings to these 2 batches and may

IM-BHU soar to unprecedented glory in the very near future.” - Pramod Bhatt

“Thanks to dear Mathur Sir and appreciate effort put by current batch budding

them. Kudos to all.”- Pankaj Sri

golden jubilee celebrations of FMS BHU & coinciding 25th year reunion of our batch.

I also thank the young students for the painstaking efforts undertaken over time to

make this reunion celebrations pleasing and memorable. Would be more than pleased
