Jorhat Engineering College Alumni Association - Its Mission and Vision

To work for the welfare of (a) Jorhat Engineering College, (b) the students' community and the alumni of the college and (c) the society at large has been the basic mission of JEC Alumni Association which took its birth in a General Body Meeting held on 17.02.2008 in the college auditorium. Our initial thrust has been on the enrolment of members and also on the aspects of its legal standing. The association now has a well conceived constitution and has been duly registered under the Societies Act XXI of 1860 of Government of India.

Our vision is an ambitious one.

In respect of the welfare of our Alma Mater, our association has been trying to impress upon the Government of Assam to constitute a broad-based DevelopmentCommittee for ensuring the proper utilization of funds to be made available for developmental works by the State Government or by other funding agencies. We are also planning to prepare some schemes for execution by the association on its own. Once these schemes are prepared, we would be concentrating on the mobilization of the required funds for their execution.

With respect to our mission towards working for the welfare of the student community, we have already initiated actions- gold medals (styled as JEC Alumni Gold Medal) and some financial aids to needy students We have other areas in mind. They include creation of possibilities for appointment, higher studies and training with the help of our alumni working in important positions in different parts of the world, organizing workshops, seminars and training for the benefit of the students.

In respect of the welfare of our alumni, we have yet to take up concrete steps. The development of an Alumni Welfare Fund for the mutual benefits and also for encouraging our young alumni to go for entrepreneurial activities, organizing seminars, workshops and training are some of the areas we are now working on. Our association has a wide scope for its contribution towards the welfare of the society with the extent of expertise available with our members in different fields. There are many areas in the present day scenario for developmental activities particularly in Assam, to which we may possibly contribute substantially. Our Central Executive Body and the Executive Bodies of different chapters are now trying to take up some of these areas of our contribution in a visible way.
