Today I spent the day with more than 200 Alumni of St. Ignatius High School, Gumla, Ranchi Province; about 110 Kilometers off Ranchi.

This school attained its present shape in 1934, and the present HeadMaster is Rev. Fr. Manohar Kumar Khoya SJ. This school is known for their breeding of world class Hockey Players, our national sport. At any point of time, our National Hockey Team at all levels has members from this school. 

A full 2.5 hour motivation session was taken by me and Er. Shivendra Mohan Sharma, President, JAAI Central Zone. 

By the end of the interactive session, the House was fully charged to launch its ad-hoc inaugural Alumni Association Managing Committee, which was elected unanimously.

1970 Batch DOX Alumni Visit School after 48 Years : Spend a Day w Ten Alumni of the 1970 Batch of St. Xavier's School, Doranda, Ranchi gathered with their wives at their Alma after almost half a century (48 years). They travelled all the way from England, USA, Canada, Delhi and Pune to re-live their childhood.

A special meeting with present teachers, past teachers (who had taught them) and the present students of SXD was organized at the School Auditorium. 

Replying to a question from the audience, "what kept you all together and networked for all these years?", they happily recalled and replied : "We were taught to support each-other and to pull-along the weaklings. We did not compete for positions. We progressed on merit and the best one would lead in academics. But sure, we always carried each-other along. Today, we find cut-throat competition even amongst the best-friends".
