In his address, Mr. Kumar highlighted the vital role of networking among alumni of Jesuit institutions across the globe. He deeply appreciated PBW’s commitment to social causes, especially initiatives such as the recent Blood Donation Camp. He also extended a cordial invitation to all Paulite alumni to participate in the upcoming JAAI SUMMIT GOA, the 11th National Congress of Jesuit Alumni/ae Associations of India, to be held from 6th to 8th February 2026 at the V.

Alumni are not just keepers of cherished memories, but also torchbearers of values that light the way for generations to come.
