The monthly meeting and Du Foundation’s 13th Annual Day coincided on the 7th of June. This made the meeting extra special, both alumni and present students participated in large numbers.
The students were eager to be a part of the celebration and turned it into a revelation as many came forward with hidden knacks.

A lot of the visiting alumni spoke about their journey with DU Foundation. Mr Avinash Thakre, a student of the 2014 batch, expressed his gratitude for the Foundation’s role in his life and for helping him become an engineer. As an orphan, we provided both moral and financial support to Rushikesh Sonawane. He’s now working in a respected position in an MNC and also visits Germany for his work.
Mr Vaibhav Nichite was selected as a Tahsildar. As an orphan, the Foundation ensured he had all the moral support he needed. He was able to make extensive use of the Foundation’s library facility for his exam prep.
