It’s been over 25+ years since we left the gates of Vidya Vihar, bright eyed and ready to step into the big, a world full of hope and with absolutely no idea as to where the journey of life is going to take us. All of us have achieved something (personally/professionally) and our time at BITS Pilani was instrumental into molding us into the people we are now. As we prepare to come together for a memorable reunion this November to celebrate 25 years of graduation from BITS, I am hoping that we can take the opportunity to give back to the institution and the BITS family that we are proud to be associated with. The funds we raise could enable BITS to compete with the other top schools of the country in academia or improve its infrastructure. For instance, did you know that every IIT campus has more than 10 times the research budget compared to BITS?

We’ve set a goal of raising $ 500,000 to create a “Co-Create Center of Excellence by the '92 batch” getting together in 2022 i.e. C3OE by 92@22." These funds will go towards creating a Playbook / Framework for Institute + Alumni + Industry Funded Research, Patent & IP Development and Monetization with an objective to generate additional revenue stream for generations to come.  

The important thing is you contribute and we would like maximum participation from our batch. The easiest way is to contribute online but other mechanisms are also provided below. And don't forget to get your company to match your donation and remember they are tax-deductible (see details below).

We have tried to arrive at a method which is not taxing on a month-to-month basis, but once the contribution is complete, will help us achieve our goal.
