Contribute Now
Dear BITS 1995 Alumni Batch,
Our Batch Reunion is an opportunity to spend a happy evening reminiscing about the past and sharing experiences about how 23 years ago the 1995 batch of young sharp minds left the gates of Vidya Vihar, Pilani!
As we all entered a new world filled with hope, dreams and aspirations we absolutely had no idea as to where the journey of life is going to take us. The essence of this journey is that - all of us have achieved something (personally/professionally) and our time at BITS Pilani was instrumental into molding us into the people we are now. As we prepare to come together for a memorable reunion this September to celebrate our years of graduation from BITS we are hoping that we can take the opportunity to give back to the institution and the BITSian family that we are proud to be associated with. The funds we raise could enable BITS to compete with the other top schools of the country in academia or improve its infrastructure and support employees. Several of our batchmates have requested that this year the funds we raise be utilized to support the children of the Mess Workers and employees at BITS, this fund is overseen by our batchmate Yash and we can get any updates as needed. This fund is called BAFCE (BITS Alumni Fund for Children's Education)
We’ve set a goal of raising 40 Lakhs INR (Approximately $55,000 USD) which is slightly higher than what our senior batch 1994 batch fundraised initially. This fund will generate sufficient interest yearly to make a meaningful contribution to improving our alma mater’s facilities and allow the brightest and the best from BITS to compete globally. The important thing is you contribute, and we would like maximum participation from our batch. The easiest way is to contribute online but other mechanisms are also provided below. And don't forget to get your company to match your donation and remember they are tax-deductible (see details below).
So what’s next?
