  H.L. College Alumni Association
Organized its mega event
GLOBAL MEET
in the year -2004

‘Where the HLites came together’

Encouraged by the enthusiastic and incessant requests made by past H.L. students spread over many countries who had expressed the desire for such a meet , the H.L. College Alumni Association organized its first ever Global Alumni Meet which was  held during January 10 - 11, 2004. 

The Global Meet was dedicated to those who have graduated from H.L., right from its first batch till date. Alumni invited the HL students all over the world to participate in this event.

The idea behind the two-day event was to give a chance to all those Hlites to visit their  beloved alma mater, to meet their HL friends and to make them aware about the Alumni Activities

H.L. is proud to claim that it has an excellent track record of turning out students who have made outstanding achievements in diverse fields and who are presently occupying  top level positions both in India and abroad.

The program provided an opportunity to the participants to interact with each other to their mutual advantage. Discussions, Brain-storming and Interactive sessions even helped them to share their knowledge and skills

During these two days, some of the distinguished guests-the best of brains- academicians, industrialists and government representatives shared their knowledge and experience with the delegates which also helped in achieving the aims which were set.

Highlights of Global Meet :

  1. Fellowship Meet
