Punarsangam 2026, the annual alumni meet, was successfully organized on 28 February 2026, bringing together alumni, faculty members, and students for an evening dedicated to reconnecting, celebration, and renewed engagement with their alma mater.

The event commenced with registrations at 6:30 PM, followed by the Inaugural Ceremony at 8:00 PM, marked by the traditional lighting of the ceremonial lamp. The gathering was warmly welcomed by Dr. Sonali Singh, Chairperson – ARC, along with Dr. Poonam Sharma and the Dean – SAC, who acknowledged the continued support and valuable contributions of the alumni community toward the institute’s growth and development. One of the key highlights of the evening was the unveiling of the Alumni Newsletter by the members of JIMNAA and the faculty. The newsletter was a proud in-house initiative conceptualized and created by students, reflecting their creativity, teamwork, and commitment.

Mr. Gaurav Tripathi, President – JIMNAA, addressed the gathering and shared the vision and objectives of the alumni association. He encouraged alumni to further strengthen the network through active participation and by becoming lifetime members of the association.

This year also witnessed the introduction of a new initiative aimed at promoting alumni entrepreneurship, wherein a dedicated platform was provided to an alumnus to showcase and sell his products during the event. The initiative served as an effort to support and encourage alumni-led business ventures. During the event, SIP Award cheques were presented to the Winner and the Runner-Up, recognizing outstanding performance and achievement. The formal proceedings were followed by an engaging and vibrant segment featuring interactive games, student performances, and musical presentations. Several alumni also took to the stage to showcase their talents, adding warmth and enthusiasm to the evening. A special attraction was the caricature corner, where guests enjoyed getting their portraits sketched and carried home a unique keepsake from the event.

The evening concluded with music and dance, creating a lively and memorable atmosphere for all attendees.

The success of the event was made possible through the dedicated efforts and teamwork of the ARC student members, who worked tirelessly to organize the meet under the able guidance of Ms. Sonali Mulay. Punarsangam 2026 once again reinforced the strong and enduring bond between the institute and its alumni community.
