Shanti School Alumni Association: A brief history of its establishment

The seed of Shanti School Alumni Association has been sown on 21 Mangsir 2064 when there was a gathering to mourn on the demise of Jagadish Prasad Bhattarai, Principal of Shree Shanti Vocational Model Secondary School, Manigram. It was the 12th day of the demise of Jagadish Guru (students used to call him by this name). The gathering was organized at Koteshwor on the leadership of Hom Nath Aryal where hundreds of past students of the Shanti School remembered Jagadish Guru for his extra ordinary contributions. The same gathering offered deep condolences to the Late Guru and sympathy to the bereaved family.

The gathering offered an exclusive environment to reunite and share the past days of school among peers. Then there were two proposals; first was to establish an alumnus and the second was to offer appreciation to the people who dedicated their time and efforts in the upliftment of the school. In doing so, SSAA and a scholarship called ‘Jagadish Guru Scholarship’ has been established in the same year.

The SSAA organizes two events each year to bring its members together. One of the events is being regularly held on Falgun 7, Democracy Day. Since BS 2076, the event is being held on the first Saturday of Falgun. The second gathering is being held during the onset of major festival time to exchange the greetings for Dashain, Tihar, Chhath, Nepal Sambat and others. The SSAA alumni members are regularly being felicitated during these events.

Following the successful events for more than a decade, SSAA established ‘AAMA-BUWA Scholarship’ as well as ‘Especial Treatment Fund’ for needy students. This way SSAA is becoming a popular place in bringing its peers together and serving the mother institution through different aspects.
