1. Dr Yeli said that an amount of 1.5 lakh rupees has been collected from donations by various alumni which is inadequate for construction of a swimming pool on the campus. He asked for suggestions of what to be done with the amount. Dr Sangamesh proposed merging of this amount with the alumni corpus fund and it was seconded by Dr Vinod.
2. The next agenda was on the need of funds to conduct future meets of the alumni and if it can be taken from the corpus fund of Spandana.
3. Dr Srinath Thakur, Chairman and Dr C Bhasker Rao were of the opinion that the corpus fund has to be used only for administrative purposes. Dr Gowri suggested that interest collected from the deposits of Spandana to be used for the conduction of future meets. Finally Dr Bhasker Rao proposed that money collected from registrations for the meet only be used for conducting the meet and Dr Srinath Thakur seconded it.
4. Next on the agenda was the place to conduct the next alumni meet. Dr Ravikumar suggested Hyderabad as the next venue. Dr Sangamesh was of the opinion that the main meet of the alumni is always held in the parent institution and chapters can be held at other locations.
