Alumni Association
During 1970's, initiatives were taken to form a
Registered body of the Alumni from the then Department of Applied Chemistry.
Distinguished teachers and alumni took the responsibility to form organizations like
Applied Chemistry Alumni Association, Chemical Engineering Alumni Association etc. The
bodies were formed, operated mainly during organization of Alumni Meet or Reunion.
Unfortunately, no one was Registered under the Societies Registration Act. Again, during
1990's attempt were made but most of the times interest were missing just after
completion of Alumni Meet of the year.
It was the very beginning of 2K, Prof. Parthasarathi Ray attempted further to form a
Registered body of the Association. At this time Prof. Ray got whole hearted support
from senior alumnus like Prof. Niras Kumar Bose, Prof. Basudeb Barman, Dr. Saral Kumar
Ghosh, Prof. Bibhuti Bhushan Paira, Prof. Parameswar De. A few junior (at that time)
alumni like Mr. Gautom Mitra, Mr. Dipankar Chakrabarti, Dr. Asim Kumar De put their
services to draft Objectives and Memorandum of Association. And ultimately, the Calcutta
University Chemical Engineering Alumni Association got Registration under West Bengal
Societies Registration Act 1961 on 7th December 2001 (Registration Number S/1L/6821 of
2001 - 2002), has been functioning in the Department of Chemical Engineering, University
of Calcutta to fulfill the objectives laid down in its Memorandum of Association. Later
on, after online modification by the Society of Registrar, the Association has been
given a new Registration No.SO106821 dated 21.01.2019.
It is the Association of
individuals of passed out students of the Department of Chemical Engineering and the
former Applied Chemistry Department. Associates for the well-being and academic
developments of Students are also invited to the Association.
The Association is engaged in organizing Technical lectures, Seminars, Workshops and
Interactive Sessions in collaboration with the department of Chemical Engineering since
its inception for career development of the students.
It has also been organizing in
collaboration with the department, the Reunion of the past and present students,
teachers and staff of the department and the former department of Applied Chemistry from
time to time. On the occasion of the Reunion we felicitate the Distinguished Alumni of
the department, and also present Service Awards to the distinguished teachers and staff
of the Department of Chemical Engineering as well as of Former Department of Applied
Chemistry.
