BITS Spark Hyd Coffee Meetup was a successful one with around 45 people turning out for the event.

Realizing the need for more sophisticated video recording infrastructure in Pilani, BITS Alumnus Vijay Bajaj (1980-84) made a donation of $7000 to the Department of CCTV to purchase advance video cameras and other related equipment. The donation was made in memory of Mr. Rajendra Kumar Sahgal and this helped the Department of CCTV to purchase a technologically advanced camera which significantly eased the current process of recording videos in the Pilani campus and reduced delivery times.
