Sharada Mandir School, Miramar, on Thursday launched its alumni association with the installation of Shrinivas V. Dempo as charter president, along with the first executive committee, at a function on campus. At the event, chief guest Justice Valmiki Menezes of the Bombay High Court at Goa, an alumnus of the 1983 batch, described the occasion as a “homecoming”. He urged the new committee to play an active role in civil society. “Upholding citizens’ rights is something that all of us have a role to play,” he said, adding that the association should function as a constructive force rather than just a platform for reunions. He advised students to pursue their professions while also following their passions, noting that a balanced life is as important as career success. Dempo, a member of the 1985 batch said, “To return to the school which shaped my early years and take on this responsibility means a great deal to me. He said the response from alumni reflected their continued attachment to the institution. “That is what gives this association its purpose,” he said, adding that it aims to create opportunities for alumni to mentor, share experiences and contribute to the school. He also acknowledged the role of teachers. “Much of what we carry from here comes from them, and that stays with us,” he said. Chairman of the Board of Trustees Dattaraj V. Salgaocar traced the school’s evolution from its early days, when the campus had a lone building and a sandpit, to its present status as a modern educational facility. “For over 50 years, Sharada Mandir has been a place where friendships were formed and students set out on different paths,” he said. He noted that over the past two decades, the school has improved infrastructure. “The focus has been on strengthening facilities, encouraging curiosity and independent thinking and ensuring teachers have the space to do their work well,” he added, noting that the emphasis remains on character and integrity. He said the new association is more than a social club, calling it a “meaningful bridge” for mentorship and professional engagement. Dempo then administered the oath of office to the executive committee of the alumni association. The executive committee includes managing director of Advertising Associates Group and founder- editor of Viva Goa Kedar Dhume as vice president; company secretary, head of Legal and ESG at Kineco Limited Manisha Shirgaonkar as secretary; and chartered accountant Shilpa Deshpande as treasurer. Other members include Vishwesh Kamat, Nida Sayed, Devansh Cholera, Gina Maria Silveira, Rekha Jyothi Panvelkar, Sandhya Pai Vernekar, Gaurav Pradhan, Sanghavi Naik, Vedant Uddhav Pawar, Sanaa Razak, Louann Marie Alvares Sequeira and Ajit Parulekar.
