Thanks to Mr. Lalit Sehgal

Dear All,

Minutes of 2nd Alumni Association meeting 2011 held on 20th August 2011, at Jiwaji University.

The 2nd alumni’s meeting was held on 20th August 2011, at centre for genomics, jiwaji University. The Co-ordinator Dr PK Tiwari greeted all alumunus. The programe started with Saraswati vandana, followed by welcome address by Dr PK Tiwari and Dr DN Saxena. Selected alumnus from different batches shared their views and experiences. Alumni Association meeting and discussion took place after the lunch and following points were discussed.

1 Dr PK Tiwari suggested to legally registering the Alumni association for genomics and the bylaws and regulation for the same to be formulated.

Mr Ratnakar Tripathi first batch alumnus took the responsibility to formulate the laws in accordance to the university rules.

2 To create awareness about the utility and prospects of MHG among the undergraduates of the Jiwaji University, every 3-6 months a batch of 10 students from different colleges will be given a chance to attend a workshop at centre for genomice JU. In this workshop we will emphasize the importance of the course through lecture from the Alumni of the centre. This activity will be funded by Alumni association.

3 To expose the MHG students towards clinical and industrial research Mr Anant Saxena has proposed that he will try and create a workshop which will integrate people engaged in clinical research and industry. This will enable students of MHG to understand the scope of this course. The long term goal that we want to achieve through this is campus placements. Apart from these Anant along with Dr P.K. Tiwari will help to restructure the course to incorporate the basics of clinical research.

4 Funding: The major problem so far in two alumni meeting is the constant absence of the alumnus itself thereby increasing the financial load on the current batches. To overcome all these problems, we have decided to contribute Rs 1000/- per year towards the maintenance of Alumni association activity.

5 Alumni association award for best student will be given every year. The decision to select the best student will be decided by a committee headed by Dr P.K. Tiwari.

6 An electronic newsletter quarterly will be published from centre for genomics. This newsletter will be available freely from the department website. The responsibility to manage newsletter goes to Mr Satish Poojary.

Any other suggestions are welcome.
