I hope this message finds you in the best of health and spirits. As the President of the IIT Delhi Excellence Foundation USA, I am reaching out to you today to share our vision for our alma mater’s future and invite you to join hands in shaping that future.
Over the years, IIT Delhi has been a source of pride for all of us, having played a pivotal role in our personal and professional growth. Our collective efforts can make a significant difference as we strive to build a stronger, more vibrant community. The time has come for us to give back to the institution that laid the foundation for our success and to help ensure its continued progress.
By giving, we grow as a community. Our mission is to create a lasting impact by expanding opportunities for the next generation of IIT Delhi students, enhancing the institution’s infrastructure, and fostering a culture of innovation and excellence. To achieve this, we need your support in various ways:
Financial Contributions: Generous donations will enable us to fund crucial projects, such as rebuilding hostels, establishing new research centers, and creating endowed chairs to attract top-notch faculty.
Organize Fundraisers: Leverage your local networks to host fundraising events in your town or city. These events raise funds and help strengthen our alum network and raise awareness about our initiatives.
Mentorship and Guidance: Share your knowledge and experience with current students through mentorship programs, guest lectures, or internships. Your insights can help shape their careers and inspire them to contribute to society.
Collaborate on Research and Innovation: Join forces with IIT Delhi to work on cutting-edge research and development projects that can propel our alma mater to new heights of excellence.
Together, we can make a difference in countless students’ lives and contribute to our beloved institution’s overall advancement. Your support and involvement are critical in helping us transform our vision into reality.
Let’s come together as a proud, motivated, and driven community to ensure that IIT Delhi remains at the forefront of academic and research excellence. As we embark on this journey, we are confident that our collective efforts will bear fruit and make a lasting impact.
