BARC TRAINING SCHOOL: FIRST BATCH ALUMNI MEET

摘要

A meeting of the first batch of Alumni of the DAE Training School, now renamed the BARC Training School, was held from December 27-29, 2007, at the Multipurpose Hall of theTraining School hostel, BARC. Around 50 trainees of the first batch, who had joined the training programme in August 1957, attended the meet. Dr. H.J. Bhabha initiated the DAE Training programme to turn out well trained scientific and technical manpower, required to start India's fledgling nuclear power programme. True to it's mandate, the BARC Training School perseveres even today. The enthusiasm and the drive of the first batch trainees (many of whom retired as pioneers of India's nuclear power programme) can be evinced from the fact, that they came together, to form an Association of BARC First Batch Trainees, with Mr. U.C. Mishra as their President, Mr. B.A. Dasannacharya as Secretary, Mr. P.P.V.J. Nambiar as Joint Secretary and Mr. AJ. Singh as Treasurer. They came from USA, Canada, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Mumbai to visit BARC, their parent organization.
