IIT Roorkee on Monday launched a Global Network of IIT Roorkee Alumni to establish an extensive connect with its large number of alumni spread all over the world.
On this occasion, Prof Ajit Chaturvedi, Director IIT Roorkee, said, “In this digital age, there is a paradigm shift in relation to social and professional networking. Information technology has raised expectations of alumni and students for a flat and efficient platform instead of a hierarchical and bureaucratic process. They want to connect seamlessly with each other and with the institute too.”
The Network will contribute in keeping alive the heritage and legacy of Thomason College of Civil Engineering to University of Roorkee and now IIT Roorkee. It would blend the old and new generations of alumni of this unique institute with a glorious history since 1847.
