MUKTI Hosts First-Ever TSS Alumni Meet – A Heartfelt Celebration of Growth, Gratitude, and Giving Back

MUKTI proudly organized its first TSS Alumni Meeting on May 3rd, 2025, at the MUKTI City Office – a landmark event that brought together former beneficiaries of the Talented Student Sponsorship (TSS) program for a day of reflection, inspiration, and renewed commitment to social upliftment.

The gathering was graced by the presence of several distinguished guests and MUKTI leadership, including:

• Mr. Sankar Halder, President, MUKTI
• Mr. Sujit Paul, Cluster Head, UDAAN Program
• Mr. Subodh Biswas, Cluster Head, Education
• Ms. Alokananda Ghosh, Cluster Head, Education
• Ms. Ananya Chatterjee, Senior Manager, Education

The event saw the enthusiastic participation of 20 alumni students representing diverse academic and professional fields — including engineering, MBBS, general and science graduates, and current interns.

Highlights of the Day

The event commenced with a warm welcome and introductory session. Alumni shared personal stories about their journeys before and after receiving support from the TSS program, underlining how the financial aid played a pivotal role in shaping their academic and personal growth.

The core discussions of the meeting covered:

• Alumni’s current professional roles and achievements
• Real-life societal challenges and how they navigated them
• Overcoming barriers as first-generation learners or students from underprivileged backgrounds
• The significance of giving back to society through time, mentorship, and community engagement

Inspiring Announcements by MUKTI President

Mr. Sankar Halder made two important announcements that were warmly received by the attendees:

1. Launch of Short-Term Diploma Courses in Social Work: These upcoming courses will aim to provide hands-on skills and knowledge for those aspiring to contribute to the field of social development.
2. Mentorship Initiative: Mr. Halder encouraged alumni to serve as mentors for current and future TSS scholars, promoting a sustainable support system within the MUKTI community.

A Heartwarming Conclusion

In a symbolic closing moment, every alumnus was given a candle to light, representing the power of knowledge, hope, and unity. Together, the group sang “Amar Mukti Aloy Aloy”, concluding the program with a shared sense of purpose and emotional solidarity.

As a token of appreciation, digital certificates of participation will be emailed to all attendees. The meeting also included discussions on how to further improve and expand future alumni engagements.

This inaugural alumni meet has not only rekindled bonds but has also laid the foundation for a stronger, more collaborative TSS community — one committed to learning, growing, and uplifting others in return.
