Alumni Association
Composition of Alumni Association
The Rani Birla Girls' College Alumni Association was given the status of a Government registered society in the year 2003. The Association was formed to maintain contact with its students who are present throughout the globe and also with former staff members i.e. both teaching and non-teaching. The Association aims to serve its Alma Mater in every possible way.
The main objectives of the Association are :
- To renew and maintain contact among former students, teachers and non-teaching staff.
- To promote and encourage literary, cultural and social service activities.
- To carry on advancement of education in any form.
- To encourage and felicitate academic excellence through awards/recognitions.
- To provide financial benefits to poor and needy students.
At the end of every Academic session the Association awards a medal to the College Topper at the Annual Day Prize Distribution ceremony of the institution. Over the years, with a noble aim to promote environment friendly atmosphere in their Alma Mater, alumni members have contributed solar lights, wheel chairs, waste bins for both degradable and non-degradable refuse, college lawn beautification and planting of saplings and plants.
