More on GJC 2014

 

 Thanks Sankar for initiating the spirit of building up the excitement of Celebrating Golden Jubilee. Yes !! its going to be  once in a lifetime event for us. As many of us rightly said its we (Alumni) who have to take active initiative in coordination with the present management in school to make it really an event to member. Its right time for us to form a special Golden Jubilee Management Team so that concept and master planning is done and start working on it..

I believe we have a very good number of alumni who are well placed around the globe and will make significant contributions to make it a grand event.

I suggest to make a Golden Jubilee Management Team as early as possible so that the team starts working on the overall concept. Lets have sub-team for Fund Generation/Collection, Event Management, Publications & Communications, Logistics, Events like panel discussion, Sports activities, Cultural Nite, Concerts, Involving distinguish Peronalities etc... 

I am sure many of us will come forward....

Well guys this is just my thoughts which i am sharing.... please lets have more discussion on this so that ideas start pouring.

i am based in Dubai at present and i extend all possible support from my end..

  Lets do it guys !!

 

Love & regards,

dear friend & brothers pls read this comment /suggestion

dear friends & bro'r, I am posting an very imp suggestion sent to me by amitab da, lachit house roll no:2357

 

The whole thing talks only about building a club, shopping complex, CSD etc. Shouldn't we be concentrating first on helping the school in building character? Some kind of enhancement in the facilities to students? Something to make sure that the hobby classes are always open throughout the year and not just when someone comes to make a film/ documentary! A swimming pool, better infrastructure for atheletics and other sports and so many other things in that direction.

Building a bar in rupnagar and drinking discounted scotch from the CSD is not my idea of development, I'm sorry!

Having said that, if anyone does think of doing something towards overall development of the the educational infrastructure, pls comment.

If we do that then we will automatically become "a power to reckon with" not just in the NER, but in the whole country.

Best regards,
Amitabh Atreya (2357)

Let us all first have a office at Ghy (Rupnagar)and thereby have marathan discussion regarding the ways and means of celebrating the golden jubilee at ssg.
My next suggestion is that the names of the ex-ssgians be put serially in the membership folio.

 binoy da,  see all x

 

binoy da,  see all x ssgians cant visit the upcoming office at Ghy(rupnagar)..many constraint is there of which time constraint is most important, I am not discouraging the opening of the office , where as i am trying to use the this site of ours to discuss about whatever we can do or should do.see dont take me otherwise, whatever sentiments u have for ur almater , i do also have the same senti, so its my duty to reach maximum no of idea's through this media, and not waiting for one single day when the meeting happens and god know how many ex ssgians turns up that day.

So i kindly request you not to discourage my idea of reaching maximum no of ex students  by saying"""""Let us all first have a office at Ghy (Rupnagar)and thereby have marathan discussion regarding the ways and means of celebrating the golden jubilee at ssg""""

 Ideas can be shared without having a meeting /gettogether,I know you might be having many better n efficent ideas, please pen them down so we can read it and think on it.

Please read my recent conversation with diganta da GS of OBA:

So, would like u all to participate....and I personally appreciate the attitude and idea...we all need to pay back something to the school and school needs our support
something to begin with...at the last AGM, the matter was raised and all the members had the same opinion as urs to do something concrete for the school...
things are taking shape...and people have started pouring in the AGM's....a concerted effort can do wonders to school....just we need to plan it out and work out the plan
there was  a discussion with present president Subash da who is in a prime Govt. position with Assam Govt....We will do something for sure..like .Few more Guest rooms at school Guest House and a shopping complex for the school with a full fledge CSD...meanwhile we need to concentrate on building up our own OBA also...efforts are on for a plot of land and if everything goes as planned, we will hv the plot in another 2-3 months...rupnagar near bhangagarh,CSD will cater to the needs of cadets and staff only....but a shopping complex outside the school so that it does not influence the school will make it a destination....shopping complex for a single window solution, we have plan to have a full fledged infrastructure with a self sustaining system, once the plot is handed over to us...my concern is that anything done inside the school, the cadets are to be given priviledge........................and anything outside the school ...ex students are to be given importance
rupnagar,near banghgarh 2 katha of land
have plan to develope ground +4...
Ground= Parking
1st Floor= Banquet Hall
2nd= OBA Office, Card Room, Bar, Conference Hall for 45 people with state of the art facility..
3rd Floor= Rooms, suite, Pantry, store etc...
4th Floor: dormitory, etc
Funds wont be a constraint...but I would prefer our members to register a Life Members and donate some money also for the proposed infrastructure
Dr Bikash Choudhury Add No 10 has taken responsibility to generate fund for the building....he has committed in the last Executive Meeting
He would generate from among the senior lots....
You all need to b life member only which has been fixed as Rs 10,000.00 and will remain the same for next 5 years to come....as resolved in the last AGM meeting
whoever gives more than 10,000.00 will be considered as donation...all this will come to OBA SSG Savings account
We all need to build the bond that was long pending...OBA was formed in 1995....had there been some effort in right direction, it would have been a force to recon with for entire NER area by now...but nothing is lost ...we will have to build up slowly but for sure.

lets plan our contribution for our forth coming goldenjubilee ce

Shall we start preparing a list with all the possible things or support that we OB can provide to our almamater.later we can shortlist and filter whichever are the best possibilities.Runjun da has already mentioned that some discussion has already started to build a class 1 cafeteria(unlike bania canteen)

Reply to Shankar Dutta's comment on class 1 cafeteris

Why a class 1 cafeteria is to be constructed, when we have the biggest mess.

Apart from regular meals , provision should be introduced for snaks/food on demand , the cost of which can be realised from the incidental a/c of each students. Menues of available items are to b made available. Mess manager should be dynamic. Quality of food are to be improved.

Ask why, i suggested......

It is very easy to start a cafeteria, but to maintain its standard is very very difficult. And since sufficient personnel are engaged in mess, the purpose will be served with addition of 2-3 expert cook.

just a thought.

i totally second dipu da's idea... A canteen's requirement of some cooks, infrastructure etc can be established... but dont neglect the fact that it will surely be on tender basis.. thus basis hygiene, maintenance and upkeep of the facility has a very high probability of getting jeopardized over time. agreed that it can be avoided ... nevertheless why get compromised when we can come up with better ideas.
i think the mess is one of the most under-utilized basic facility in the system.
yes.. new plates, seating arrangements, floor work and some tins of white wash has indicated a so called development.... but not entirely. A premier defence institution of the state must bring up the facility like what it is meant to be. I am talking about a entire upliftment of the kitchen.... which includes
. a befitting cold storage (quantity and quality catered)
. an equally good dry ration storage room.
. dish washing and drying facility
( school's str=700... NDA=1800+.. IMA=2000+.. AFA=500+ )
. re-estb the school poultry and piggery farm
. steam/solar cooking facility at a larger quantum
. a more edible diet planned out (age group 11- 18)
. a trained staff in conjunction to diet and facility management

i know there are a thousand more modifications feasible here but we need to start too. we have the available space behind the mess for a new construction and keep the present kitchen active till reqd. the plan may sound far fetched but why not...

a good diet will suffice all cadets with the required standards of taste, quality and save the authorities from the wrath of parents, sick students etc.. and of course fulfill the long-due honour to the magnificent building.

i m sure my seniors with all their age and experience can shower some light to this appeal of a relatively younger brother ....

Our Contribution

Rupam and others,

I think we are losing track. When you compare with the NDA, IMA/AFA/NA and other defence establishments, we should not forget that these are all part of KLPs. There is no monetary contribution from the users. Opening guest houses, cafes and CSD in the school campus should be left to the principal and the LBA (in our time the chairman was the GOC 101 Area). Those of you in the Assam government should try to put in your bit and draw the attention of people concerned.

In case you want guest rooms, cafe and shopping complex in the Guwahati office, so be it.

As an OBA, let us concentrate on our social responsibilities. We may think of providing support each year to a deserving but needy student to join the school and nurture him throughout his stay. Try and visit the local and remote schools in your areas to identify such probables. The harsh truth is that boys from well-off families are avoiding joining SSG nowadays. So let us turn our sights elsewhere. Blood donation camp, some have already been held, is a noble idea. We can also conduct adult literacy programmes. Why not run coaching classes for aspiring students of class V to crack the sainik school entrance exam?
