Dubai, Oct 22: The first ever global meet of SDM college of Engineering and Technology Dharwad alumni to be organized by Middle East Chapter Unit will be held on November 6 at Rixos Palm, Dubai.
Around 250 to 300 members from India, USA, UK, Nigeria, Qatar, Oman, Saudi, Kuwait and UAE will be participating in the programme which will include around 30 faculty members from Darwad.
The entire endeavor has the blessings of Padmabhushan Dr Veerendra Heggade who will also grace the occasion as chief guest. Dr Shrikanth B Vanakudre principal SDMCET will also grace the occasion as guest of honour. Other dignitaries include prof Suresh Radder – Sr lab instructor (American University of Sharjah) and prof V K Parvati - associate professor.
To add to the colour of the event, a musical treat by well known Praveen Godkhindi, who is also an alumni is being arranged which will be followed by other cultural programmes and dinner. To make the mega event more successful the organisers request the SDMites from all over the world to come forward to register their names and enjoy the fellowship across batches under the umbrella of SDMites.
It is this time of the year when SDM (Shri Dharmasthala MAnjunatheshwara College of Engineering and Technology, Dharwad) alumni Middle East Chapter has decided to bathe in the surreal reincarnation of the impeccable past of their college days with the SDMites from all around the world and rejoin the ride of the past. So the SDMites have started scheduling their journey of memories in search of their roots - back to the roots to relive the good old golden days.
As Henry Ford said, 'Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.' This global SDMites meet would not have been possible without the earlier executive committees coming together over the years and laying the foundation and milestones of the SDM Middle East chapter. Thereby it is momentous to acknowledge all the energy and sweat of their executive days.
Since its inception in 2009 the SDM Alumni Middle East Chapter has echoed in action sticking to the values and principles of the SDM Institution. The word ‘Dharma’ traditionally means ritual, duty, righteousness and alms and touching the lives of people with a transformational directness that is unique. Taking these values ahead in practice the alumni has not only come together for pleasure in a foreign land but also added value to the fellowship with always initiating support towards the various social causes and turning the desires into reality.
The activities include supporting social cause, honouring the teachers and mentoring and supporting new SDMites who will join them in Middle East. In this short span the group has initiated mega actions from organizing the first Middle East meet to the current first Global Middle East meet in the month of November.
