The NJAAI Milan 2019 – the Jesuit Alumni Association of India (JAAI) North Zone Alumni/ae Congress commenced on the evening of 14th September 2019. It was hosted by St. Xavier’s Alumni Association and Jesuit Alumni Association of Patna at St. Xavier’s High School, Patna.

On 31st August 2019, Soxa members, namely, Fr. Hilary D'Souza, Principal St. Xavier's School, Sahibganj,  Krishna Singh, Om Prakash, Arun Gupta, Amit Sinha,  Dr. Devesh, Dr. Amitava Biswas and few others organised a tree plantation programme at the local government aided girls' school and even our school. The tree plantation programme was a great inspiration to the school girls and the Principal of the school, whose enthusiasm was unparallel in view of global warming affecting our Mother Earth. Awareness among students about importance of trees in our lives and environment was the message conveyed at the programme.

This was followed by a free eye screening and check up camp conducted by our alumnus and eye surgeon, Dr. Amitava Biswas and his team. 198 patients, which included our Class 4 students and poor people from neighbouring villages, had their eyes examined.

Witnessed by the students , management , staff and alumni the ‘young’ alumni team with an average age of 40 plus ( including a couple of them over 50 ) prevailed over the school team 1/0. The game consisted of two halves , 25 minutes each. This is a bonding exercise between the past and present , the bridge to a better today for a brighter tomorrow.
