VIDYAVIHAR KUL
ALUMNI
ASSOCIATION OF ALL INSTITUTES OF C. N. VIDYAVIHAR
VIDYAVIHAR KUL (VVK), a registered
trust, was established in 1977 by Shri Zinabhai Desai who
set forward excellent examples as to how alumni activities
should be conducted. Over the years, this forum has provided
a variety of opportunities to past students to engage with
the school and its activities and thereby keep afresh as well
as refresh their school memories. Alumni members actively
involved in these activities feel that the association provides
them with a platform to contribute to their alma-matter.
STRENGTH
Presently, there are about 3400 members in the alumni
association. Interested alumni need to fill up a membership
form and send it to the alumni office. Alumni are encouraged
to contribute Rs. 1000/- as a one-time corpus fee while sending
their filled-in membership forms. This is a voluntary contribution
to the alumni association fund which is utilised for various
activities. A database of former teachers is also being compiled
(following the trust deed). It is planned to invite and involve
past teachers in various activities of vidyavihar kul.
PLANNED ACTIVITIES EVERY YEAR
FOR RECENT GRADUATES:
Farewell & Fellowship Programme:
As per the tradition, every year, C. N. Vidyalaya organises
farewell programme for all students appearing in 12th standard
examinations. Since last two years, this programme is being
organised by VVK. The chief guest for this function is mostly
invited from the VVK family. In this function, out-going students
are encouraged to register themselves in the VVK; honorary
membership is conferred to interested students for the first
five years of passing out.
Felicitation
Programme: This event is organised by the VVK to felicitate
students with outstanding performance in 10th and 12th board
examinations. About 16 students are selected; these include
three students each from Std-10th and 12th - Science, Commerce
& Arts streams and the first rank holder of kumar &
kanya chhatralaya also from Standards 10th and 12th. In this
function also, the students felicitated are given honorary
membership to VVK along with an appreciation certificate.
FOR PRESENT STUDENTS:
Education Program: In
order to encourage 100% results in the 10th board examinations,
the alumni members work in partnership with teachers. A team
of five teachers is formed to organise extra classes for about
35 ‘weak’ students to help them prepare for the
board examinations. After the results, these teachers are
felicitated by the alumni members. From the coming academic
session, VVK plans to organise such classes from the start
of the academic year.
Scholarship Programme: Under this
programme, a total of 18 students from 5th to 10th standards
are identified for receiving scholarship of Rs. 5000/- each
in kind. These students are essentially economically under-privileged
but brilliant in their performance. While selecting candidates
for scholarships, VVK invites recommendation from each class
teacher and the principal. This programme is supported from
the alumni corpus; in the long-terms VVK hopes to augment
this project by generating funds up to Rs.1 crore.
FOR ALUMNI MEMBERS:
Sports Day: On 15th February
2009, for the first time, a sports day for VVK members was
organised with six different sports like cricket, badminton,
table tennis, volleyball, chess & carom. About 100 VVK
members joined in this celebration and enjoyed with their
friends.
Annual
Get-together: A grand get-together is organised by
and for the alumni members every year usually in the month
of December. The last get-together on 28th December 2008 was
in the form of a musical evening which saw members from various
batches perform together on stage in the Rang Bhavan. This
programme was attended by more than 1600 members.
Group Get-together:

at periodic intervals. The responsibility of organizing these
meetings lies with batch respective batch representatives.
