The 60th reunion of IIT Kanpur’s pioneering Class of 1964 was a heartfelt success, filled with nostalgia, laughter, and reconnections. Alumni came together and celebrated six decades of friendship, growth, and shared memories. Everyone felt nostalgic as they came after a very long span of time. The three-day reunions included engaging presentations, updates on IIT Kanpur’s latest initiatives, and a memorable gala dinner that echoed with laughter and camaraderie. Together, they celebrated the accomplishments of our classmates and remembered those who are no longer with us. The reunion was marked by joyful stories, reminiscing about campus days, and a renewed sense of pride in the remarkable journey each alumnus has undertaken.
