PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear Friends, I take immense pleasure in congratulating the editorial board of this Newsletter of ExAVMS for successfully bringing out the first ever Journal of our Association. This is yet one more noble achievement that highlights the rise of our Association. We have come a long way now and we are confident that we will now only keep on going forward. I highly appreciate the tremendous efforts made by a small group of dedicated ex-AVMS alumni in reaching worldwide exAVM friends and slowly absorbing them into our Association. Today, we are an impressive big family of businessmen, bankers, bureaucrats, technocrats, engineers, doctors, politicians, teachers and more, from all walks of life. We plan to create a synergy of good things.

SHORT INTRODUCTION Ex-Adarsha Vidya Mandir Students’ Association (Ex-AVMS Assn) was formally registered in 2046 BS. It is a volunteer organization with the aim to provide social service to the community, to encourage its Association members to grow, develop and excel in their respective professions through building strong bondages and networking among themselves. It also encourages and pursues recreation among its members. The Association is guided by the motto “Be Good and Do Good”. The Executive Committee of the Association is currently involved in a major campaign to encourage exstudents to register themselves as members of the Association. To make this “Membership Building Campaign” more effective, at least two persons from each batch have been selected as Batch Ambassadors (BatchAmb) who are personally responsible for getting their SLC Batch Mates to register as members of the Association.
CHARITY ACTIVITY AT MAN MAIJU VDC On Tue 27 Ashadh 2063 (11 Jul 2006, also Guru Purnima day), the Assn was involved in a charity activity at an orphanage called CHARITY NEPAL (situated in Man Maiju VDC near Balaju) for which the Assn had earlier allocated Rs. 15,000. Altogether a 1,000L Water Tank, a Computer Table, a Laser Printer and 50 pairs of slippers were handed over to the orphanage. In addition to these, some cookies, yoghurt and fruit juice were also distributed to the orphans and other children who had gathered there.
This is the best tribute we can pay to our late Founder Principal Satya Narayan Bahadur Shrestha and continue to strive towards building a healthy prosperous nation. Come! Let us join hands and think together. Let our family grow.
KISHORE K. MAHARJAN President, Ex-AVMS Association
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE It gives me immense pleasure to acknowledge the fact that the Ex-AVMS Association has, though very late, come forth with its first ever Journal. In a time when activities are more oppressive and less transparent, this effort offers an authentic platform for its activities to be unveiled. I wish a smooth continuation and a healthy life to this effort.
