And even within our own batch, we need just more than e-mails that say "i am getting married" or " i had a baby" or "intersting job post".<BR/>Yes the alumni network needs to be developed across batches. Mayb we can start dividing people by regions e.g. mumbai, delhi, Nyc, CA etc. Mumbai wd need more volunteers to track people since I presume a hell of a lot of concentration of alumni would be there.gayatrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004541504396997418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537277355893645179.post-37193037219736255852008-03-17T18:34:00.000+05:302008-03-17T18:34:00.000+05:30and yes Alum secy is not 'poor' - when they contes...and yes Alum secy is not 'poor' - when they contest for these posts they should very well know the responsibility that they are taking up...Nishant Kashyaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392178210801797645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537277355893645179.post-44315415467737278242008-03-17T18:32:00.000+05:302008-03-17T18:32:00.000+05:30Hi Alam,When I meant an Alum directory - I meant a...Hi Alam,<BR/><BR/>When I meant an Alum directory - I meant across the batches right from 70s to 2000s- yes we need volunteers (of course count me in) but we need to track down many more people - so perhaps it would need a more concerted effort than just few volunteers working on their own -any ideas??Nishant Kashyaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392178210801797645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537277355893645179.post-21167051430047544322008-03-17T18:25:00.000+05:302008-03-17T18:25:00.000+05:30Count me in.

Need just 10 volunteers.
