How do you think , we , as alumni of OUCE can give back to our college ? Our alumni are very placed across the globe . It is our duty to give back to the institution which has played such a pivotal role in our lives .

How do you perceive the Global Alumni Meet being held on 25th December 2016 ? It is really worthwhile to conduct such a Global Alumni Meet in OUCE . I feel proud to be associated with the Alumni in hosting such a prestigious event . Looking forward to many such events in the future .
Your suggestions for the Alumni Association ? To promote Center of Excellence in the selected field of engineering for the benefit of society and people .
Any message to the Alumni ? I advise them to be professional and whatever you do , do it with commitment and sincerity .
Message to the Students :
Your message to the students / younger generation who wish to build their career in your field .? The role of engineers in the society is likely to be very great and the tasks facing them will be formidable . It will be necessary for them to work with a social , economic and cultural perspective to be fully aware of the political and societal constraints and to be exceedingly flexible . Young engineers will have to be exposed to real problems of the society as early as possible . An engineer is someone who sees something in the world and sets out to make it better . I believe that anyone who involves himself in the field with hard work and honesty will always achieve greatest heights in career and life .
How do you think the younger generation should be prepared for the future ( both in professional and personal development aspects )? Yes . I like the popular saying of Dr . A P J Abdul Kalam : “ Dream is not that which you see while sleeping . It is something that does not let you sleep ”. Pupils should aim high and work hard to realize their dreams . Be fully aware of what you want to do , be it is studies or profession . Try to fix targets and strive hard to achieve them . Young Indians should inculcate our traditional values , respect elders and women .
Any other advice you wish to give to the students as an Alumni ? Be active . Participate and involve in all Alumni matters .
