Sanidhya Chennai
The Chennai heat gave way to the smell of wet earth, the damp grass, and
the slosh of puddles on the evening of 2nd June 2013. Sanidhya was back in
Chennai and this time at the President Hotel and Towers, Mylapore, to
connect with the esteemed alumni and faculty. The event was graced by
the Director of XIMB Fr. Paul Fernandes, S.J, Dean (Admin) Fr. P D Thomas,
S.J along with Prof. Sasmit Patra. The event began on a nostalgic note with
a Sanidhya Video celebrating 26 years of XIMB. Next, the regional

felicitated the Director and the faculty. Prof. Patra took over the
proceedings and invited the Director to deliver the welcome note. Fr. Paul
gave a briefing on the Xavier University. Later, the Director, Mr. Sunder,
