CAET ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

heading center pattern

Introduction :

College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology was established in the year 1984 at Gujarat Agricultural University, Junagadh as per the directives of the Government of Gujarat. So far, 16 batches of B. Tech. Agricultural Engineers have obtained their degrees from this college and have been working successfully in different areas related to Agricultural Engineering in India as well as in many developed countries.        
As you know, after leaving this college, there are rare chances to meet the batch-mates., juniors, seniors and faculties. We feel that there is always a keen desire in the heart of every one to know the where about and progress of the other alumni as well as to be in touch with their alma-mater.

In view of above, an attempt is made to form an alumni association under the umbrella of this college, which can serve as global terrace for all the alumni to meet and interact for the development of the profession so as to serve the nation in related matters. To keep the socio-professional bonds live forever among each other, it is planned to publish and release the first issue of alumni Directory on the occasion of the first convention on 27th September, 2003. We have tried to accommodate details of all the alumni including of even those who could not be communicated by us. Those who have not sent their recent information are kindly requested to send it for use in future programme.
