‘IMAGINATION
IS MORE POWERFUL THAN KNOWLEDGE’ - ALBERT EINSTEIN
You
might have witnessed the story of man evolving, but we witnessed Sapthagirians
evolving and their potentialities that has raised to heights, in just one meet
up. Yes, you heard it right- ‘Sapthagirians evolving’- starting with the first
batch of 2005 to the latest outgoing batch of 2012 under one roof was pleasure
in itself. Indeed an awesome feeling to have enthusiastic and likeminded people
who want some ‘change’ to be made in the college and to society.
Imagination is more powerful than
knowledge – with this inspiration Alumni admins and core admins along with the
college authorities held its 2nd meet up on 5/5/2012 at our very own
dear college – ‘ Sapthagiri college of Engineering’.
Sailing in the same boat, about
15 of us started to give out ideas, many things were discussed, brilliant ideas
& suggestions started pouring in to build this Alumni association with a
strong foundation.
The discussion was divided into 4
headings.
I.

These were the few ‘minutes of the
meeting’ . We were motivated by the participation of Srinivas Sir, Gopalakrishna
Sir, AO & Suma maam, PO. The college authorities also promised us to be a
part of the Facebook group & support us in all our endeavours.
