Birla High School Alumni 17th Annual Reunion

 Birla High School Alumni 17^th  Annual Reunion

Kolkata, 2014: The 17^th Annual Reunion “Homecoming 2014” organised by the Birla High School Alumni will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2014. An evening of nostalgia, remembrance, music and dance with old friends at the School Ground. Industrialist Mr S K Birla will be the chief guest.

The Birla High School Alumni was founded 17 years back by a handful of ex students. Over the years, the membership has grown to more than 1500.

Though the major purpose of an Alumni is of reuniting old friends and give them the opportunity to reminisce and recall about the life they have left behind, Birla High School Alumni is so much more than that. Our association is also about giving something back to school and society through the various programmes and projects we undertake.

We are forever indebted to our teachers for imparting us with knowledge. In the older days students gave their teachers Gurudakshina as a token of their gratitude. Today, in our own way, we are showing our appreciation, love and respect to all teachers through our Benevolent Trust among other means specially set up for our teachers.

About Birla High School

Birla High School formerly known as Hindi High School was founded in Kolkata in 1942 by late Lakshmi  Niwas Birla. It was established with the idea of sustaining and keeping the spiritual and Indian values along with western techniques to blend in a wholesome and harmonious discipline. Today, it is one of the premier educational institutes in Kolkata with more than 3500 students.

From generations our school has been blessed with visionaries and leading educationists as the Principal and his/her team. Our present Principal Ms Mukta Nain has continued the legacy and taken the school to new heights of success. We are all proud to say that our alma mater has been felicitated with the International School Award by the British Council and our Alumni has received the Best Alumni award by the Gurukul Awards.

Generations of students have benefitted from gaining knowledge in this and have gone along to achieve great success. The school boasts of having among its ex students, acclaimed persons in every field.
