Walk down the memory lane 25 th Year Reunion for OU Mech Class of 1991
It has already been 29 yrs since this class set their feet on the campus . Fresh new faces , most of whom had just turned 17 , full of hope and ready to conquer the world . They came from varied family backgrounds ( from farmers , business owners , and professionals ), from different regions across India ( e . g ., Himachal Pradesh , North Eastern states ), and with stellar accomplishments ( including national champions in sports such as triple long jump , handball , and cricket , to those that had already started building engines and planes to those that had performed phenomenally in academics at their State and institutional levels ). The 4 years on campus proved to be an amazing melting pot for these young ones with stresses of the semester end exams serving as a catalyst to bring the different personalities to come together and collaborate while the rest of the free time was spent in the engineering canteen bonding and building lifelong friendships . It was clear from the very start that this was going to be an exceptional one-of-a-kind batch as it had a good mix of personalities with lots of charisma , leadership abilities , and drive for academic excellence . Their current profile validates that initial assessment with this Class leading across multiple fronts - high end research in renewable energy , drones , and automobiles , entrepreneurship with companies driving infrastructure for sports , optimization of retail supply chain , and aerial drones , leadership in public sector units ( mining , petroleum , etc .,), advising and consulting top management across industries , providing updates to State Assembly , driving cutting edge software for several industries including stock trading to cloud computing , and serving in high impact positions across varied industries including finance , banking for the ultra high net worth individuals , transportation , hi-tech , commercial shipping , petrochemicals , and others .
It was amazing to see this Class congregate again at the OU Mechanical building on Dec 17th . The energy and the excitement was palpable as the classmates , some of whom were meeting each other for the first time after 25 years , acquainted themselves with the buildings , the labs , the faculty ( including meeting the Principal S . Sameen Fatima and faculty members V . Nageswara Rao , P . Usha Sri , V . Uma Maheshwar , and few others faculty members from the department ), and the alumni executive members ( including Rammohan Rao , Vijay Kumar , Praveen Dorna ). Most of them had travelled long distances and blocked off their busy calendars to dedicate the next couple of days entirely to their classmates . The classmates bonded over tea , lunch , planting a commemorative mango tree in front of the Mech building , and classroom discussion involving welcome address from Ms . Fatima , all of which would not have been possible without the active involvement and coordination from the small but highly efficient alumni relations team . This was a perfect setting for the entire Class to reflect on where they started , where they are , and shifting gears into how they can help their alma mater that has been an unparalleled launchpad for
