Dear Harcourtians,
It has been a year since the Alumni Association institute the ?Alumni Student Connect Program? having four initiatives tit led ?Buddy program?, ?Mentorship program?, ?Weekend projects/Vocational projects? and ?Guest lectures? . These were started with the aim to supplement the process of bringing qualitative change in the students of our alma mater. I am glad that there have been some activities under these programs, but we have a long long way to go.
Now alumni may contribute in all the initiatives through digital connectivity in a non-intrusive manner. Those of you who wish to be a part of these programs may send their interests through email for their digital association. If you wish to make significant contribution you may think of extending support for instituting Professor Chair, institution of scholarships, creation / refurbishment of infrastructure for the benefit of student community.
On behalf of the Alumni Association, I humbly request all of you to come forward and wholeheartedly participate in the nurturing of students of our alma mater and help the Institution in achieving its mission for in its glory lies our glory too.
With warm regards.

Dear Harcourtians,
It has been over a year since the new committee has taken over and since then it has been our endeavour to streamline the Alumni Association activities. We have been updating our Alumni Members about these developments at regular intervals.
January 2019 has brought in good news. The Alumni Association HBTI Kanpur received the required 12AA permissions from the Income Tax Department to collect donation for the activities of the Alumni Association. This issue has been pending for over a decade now and it is not a surprise that members were raising it in almost each General Body Meeting. I think it is the collective good wishes of all Alumni that we have received this permission.
Developing Scientific temper and technical knowledge is our main aim and we continue to strive for that. In the coming months, you will see a spurt of activity. The beginning has been the very successfully conducted TEDxHBTU event which has had wide appreciation and large participation too. I am glad that such news will inspire more Alumni members to come forward and join in to help us achieve our objectives.
Warm Regards

ABCD - Any Body Can Do anything when the fire within a person burns the fuel inside him to achieve even what is considered to be impossible. To ignite this spark HBTU held an invigorating talk show TEDxHBTU under the tagline "INCREASING THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR COMFORT ZONE".
TED is an annual event that brings together the world's leading thinkers and doers to share ideas that matter in any discipline ? technology, entertainment, design, science, humanities, business, development. In the spirit of "ideas worth spreading," TED has created TEDx, a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
The inaugural TEDx show in HBTU, was organized by the Alumni Association HBTI Kanpur in the auditorium of HBTU on the 17th of February, 2019. The event was successfully managed under the able guidance of Mr. RadhaKant Jaiswal, Mr. Rajanish Chandra Dikshit, Mr. Balram Upadhay Dr. Onkar Singh and Mr. Mayank Jain.
This inaugural session was a bouquet of talks from diverse disciplines ranging from social issues, to latest research developments and even the comfort of the Himalayas. There were numerous inspiring stories of the life journeys of successful entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, a celebrated war veteran and all of them were extremely motivational for the audience.
