sjcoba1940

We have finally documented the history of our glorious Alma Mater.

We sincerely thank Mr. Abhishek Verma, from the batch of 2014, who has put his heart & soul in putting the bits and pieces together.

This is the second time the history of our institution has been re-recorded. First it was Rajiv Nath Kapoor in the Centenary year 1984.

Just to mention, the original file created by Abhishek was of more than 8 pages with minute details but due to space constraints, we had to chop this up to four. Also, there were more than 150 pictures shared by him but we couldn't accommodate all of them hence we just used the ones of our Founding members Dr Francis Pesci & Dr Angelo Poli.

Have a great time going down the memory lane, and re-living each and every event in your hearts and minds.

Thank you Rajiv & Abhishek, this is now documented & you have put your names in the pages of History.

May you all find colours of joy , happiness & good health in your lives.

Have a safe & colorful Holi !
