SASTRA Blooming


First let me explain to u why i m writing all this.. Yesterday evening while me and PJ were on a stroll (to relieve for the pressure due to exams :P) we spotted out something beautiful. Yes the picture on top.. After taking the snap he felt like putting it on angular view.. but was looking for a reason, then I felt like helping him out..
Now on the words are in the point of view of a 2003-07 batch student.. with just 2-4 days more at SASTRA..

As suppose our batch saw a lot of chances in and around the campus during the past 4 years and most of them were indeed for the better..
When we arrived here in 2003 the infra structure of the college wasnt the same as now. TIFAC-CORE and SARASWATI SADAN were the sparkling new buildings in the campus. JVC and SANDIPANI were under construction. Later the foundation of Vidyut was laid.. So full fledged work was on for all the 3 builds simultaneously.. JVC was then inaugurated and suddenly from no where we spot a BIG pit being dug behind the Maruti Indoor Stadium.. This then joined the construction spree and turned out be become the VISWAKARMA JYOTH.
Many things changed then on.. Mess services got privatised.. The security services were privatised.. Roads were re-laid.. NCC was introduced.. The campus went on a Green Revolution and grass and shrubs were grown in front of various buildings.
Then came in the KRISHNA canteen. This gave a better option for people to literally eat food and also became a hang-out for people who would otherwise used the temple or the ditch.
We actually made lot of progress in many fronts.. His Excellency President Abdul Kalam was at campus.. The governor of Tamil Nadu, Surjit Singh Barnala came in twice.. Washington Accord and few other MOU were signed with various International Universities. SASTRA growth curve started matching with that of the BSE Sensex defying all gravitational laws..
Then we started our own Technical and Cultural fests - DAKSH and KURUKSASTRA. The turnout at the very first attempt surpassed PRAGYAAN and other fests in the region..
And now we know the way the syllabus and few other rules are being modified to make education at SASTRA even better.. Few more buildings are under-construction. The work of Wi-fi and the new Auditorium are lined up..
So its easy to conclude saying SASTRA is indeed blooming and very soon well establish a better identity of its own.. A college which more people will look up to and a college we will be proud to be an Alumni of..
