It is time of the year when SDM (Shri Dharmasthala MAnjunatheshwara college of engineering and Technology, Dharwad) Alumni Middle East Chapter has decided to bathe in the surreal reincarnation of the impeccable past of their college days with the SDMites from around the world and rejoin in the ride of the past. So, the SDMiete’s have started scheduling their journey of memories in search of the roots - Back to the Roots and relive the good old but golden days.

As Henry Ford said ”Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. “This Global SDMites meet wouldn’t have been possible without the earlier executive committees of coming together over the years and laying the foundation and milestones of the SDM Middle east chapter, thereby it’s momentous to acknowledge all the energies and sweat of their executive days.

Since its inception in 2009 the SDM Alumni Middle East Chapter has echoed in action sticking to the values and the principles of the SDM Institution. The word ‘Dharma’ traditionally means ritual, duty, righteousness and alms and touching the lives of people with a transformational directness that is unique. Taking these values ahead in practice the alumni have not only came together for fun in a foreign land but also added value to the togetherness with always initiating support towards the various social cause and turning the wishes into reality .

The activities included supporting the social cause, honouring the teachers and more over mentoring and supporting the new SDMites who would join them in Middle East. In this short span the group has initiated mega actions from organizing the first Middle east meet to the current first Global Middle East meet in the month of November.
