It is the alumni who make a college great. Any second thoughts?
Ghumakkad was invited to address the 1st Alumni Reunion of BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus (BPHC). The first batch of 2008-09 passed out in 2012-13. Having attended the Bhumi Pujan भूमि पूजन - the ground breaking ceremony- of the new campus in 2004, BPHC has that special bond with many of us- Pilani alumni in Hyderabad.
BPHC is located north of Hyderabad in a sprawling 220 acres campus. Set amidst rocks and boulders in an undulating terrain, the campus was teeming with life on 12th Jan 2019. Here is a short video clip of the panorama.
You may browse an earlier picture story about BPHC 'The Campus That Rocks'.
The students had organised a day long Reunion. I thoroughly enjoyed interacting with them. The students as well as young alumni had many questions for us- the older alumni. Sample:
Glimpses of latter half of the Reunion.
BPHC had organised many events in the past including a 10K Run in 2014 on the Necklace Road. You may browse the story 'Thrill of a 10K Run'.
You may also browse another story titled 'Convocation Excitement' about BPHC convocation.
We end with a famous quotation by John F Kennedy who had said that "I think the success of any school can be measured by the contribution the alumni make to our national life."
Thanks for browsing.

- How much does CGPA matter in life?
- What is the relevance of our specialisation to jobs?
- How do club activities and other events help a student?
- How can BITS also have live research projects from Defence like the IITs?
- Should we do the PS-II or the Dissertation? And many more such questions.
