“Testimonial: We had over 200 people attend our silver jubilee reunion. Several returned to campus for the first time since they graduated. The event brought together long-lost batchmates and reconnected us to IITB. We are proud that the '94 legacy funds strengthen IITB by supporting student fellowships and advanced research.“

Rajeshkumar (Raj) Bhatt

1994, Aerospace Engineering

“Being involved in our legacy project allowed me to catch up with many batch-mates even before the reunion. Seeing the initiatives that we funded bring real impact to our alma mater was most fulfilling (e.g., GROWTH India Telescope, Laptops for online learning during COVID). As an alumnus, please reflect on the role that IITB has had in shaping your success and donate accordingly.“

Pankaj Doshi

1994, Chemical Engineering

“1994 batch’s silver jubilee reunion and involvement in legacy project was almost like my second homecoming to IIT Bombay. It was an incredible experience to interact with many friends after almost two decades. It is hard to overemphasize the role played by legacy projects and alumni engagement in shaping the destiny of this great institution. “

Project

when it had to raise funds to secure the campus by vaccinating all its campus staff and residents that could not afford the vaccines. The Class of 94 responded immediately to their alma mater’s call for help and funded the vaccination of more than 200 of the staff on a very urgent basis.

Project

The focus of the interdisciplinary project is to undertake continuous studies of cosmic sources that have rapidly varying properties, like emission from gravitational wave events, young supernovae, and near-earth asteroids.

The Growth India Telescope is a robotic telescope set up in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Ladakh, and is one of the few such facilities outside of Europe and the US. It has helped conduct interdisciplinary research work at the UG and PG levels and is instrumental in the research carried on by IIT Bombay as part of the Growth India Project. Recently, IITB students made a stunning discovery by using this telescope when they realised that asteroid 2020 QG flew extremely close to Earth without impacting it.

Unfortunately, the Institute was running out of time, and for IIT Bombay to retain access to this telescope, it needed immediate funding support with a minimum commitment of Rs. 50 lakhs. The class of 1994 generously agreed to utilise one portion of the donations collected as part of their Silver Jubilee Legacy Project towards maintaining access to the telescope and ensuring the continuation of ongoing research.

Project

This meant that students needed access to computers and/or laptops and broadband connections. Unfortunately, a number of students were financially constrained and could not afford the hardware needed to continue with their education.

Once again, the class of 1992 came to their alma mater’s rescue. Even though it was not a part of their Legacy Project, the class of 1992 agreed to reallocate the amount to support this unanticipated but critical requirement faced by their beloved alma mater. Around 266 UG and PG students at the Institute benefitted from the IT Hardware Scholarships and were provided with a laptop and broadband connection which helped them attend online classes, pursue virtual projects, and complete their coursework on time.
