CALLING: OLD BOYS OF SAINIK SCHOOL KUNJPURA KARNAL

It has been more than 10 years since I left Sainik School Kunjpura, Karnal, but having spent the most memorable moments of my life there, nothing has faded away in my mind till now.....Amazing, life transforming experience !

For the people who don't know what are Sainik Schools please read the next para, others simply skip it.

Sainik School Kunjpura


WHAT ARE SAINIK SCHOOLS IN INDIA ?

The Sainik Schools are a group of schools in India established by the Sainik School Society, and conceived in 1961 by the then Defense Minister of India, to rectify the regional and class imbalance amongst the Officer cadre of the Indian Army, and to prepare students for entry into the National Defense Academy (NDA), Khadakwasla, Pune and Indian Navy Academy. Today there are over 24 such schools covering all the states of the country.The schools come under the purview of respective state governments and Ministry Of Defense India. The admissions start from the 6th Grade.

THANKS TO THE SOCIAL MEDIA

I must admit, one thing that I really value is technology. The era of internet and information has blessed us with the advent of some really amazing internet technologies such as Social Media. I confess, without the social media I would not have been in touch with so many of my school mates at Sainik School Kunjpura, and this is not just limited to it in fact not with any of my old friends or teachers. What a bliss !

OLD BOYS OF SAINIK SCHOOL KUNJPURA

You will know that "Old Boys" is a famous jargon, if you have studied at Sainik School Kunjpura."Old Boys" refers to the "Alumni" of the school. Every year Sainik School Kunjpura organizes the "Old Boys Meet", giving the opportunity to the alumni to revisit the school and meet their old friends and teachers. An amazing event, an extravaganza and a massive carnival over the weekend. A perfect networking event !

TIME TO NETWORK TO HELP EACH OTHER PROFESSIONALLY

Though most of the students of Sainik School Kunjpura join Indian defense forces, there are many who join non-defense professions, like me, such as engineering, public sector services, advertising, politics etc. Undoubtedly, each and every alumnus from Sainik School Kunjpura is doing well in whichever profession he is in. Still nothing beats helping each other professionally. Keeping that in mind, I thought it would be great idea to create a linkedin group for alumni of Sainik School Kunjpura. I feel it's now the time to take the brotherhood forward. Let's come together and help each other in our professions in whichever way whenever possible by being in contact on this linkedin group called "KUNJEANS". Join this group and invite other proud Kunjeans ! So all old boys let's connect....

Just for reference, I'm roll no. 3982 :)
