VJTI CANTEEN MODERNIZATION
The VJTI Alumni Association in Mumbai and the VJTI International Alumni Association in the USA are partnering to do a complete makeover of our beloved VJTI canteen. The VJTI Canteen Modernization Fund is intended to modernize the canteen to achieve the following goals:
Modern design with a seating capacity of ~300
Build a well-planned commercial kitchen adhering to the latest safety and hygiene standards
Allocate dedicated seating areas for students and staff
Provide an exclusive enclosure for visiting dignitaries and alumni
The total cost of this project is approximately INR 2 crores (USD $238,000). The entire project is expected to take ~ 5 months. We are making an earnest plea for contributions from our alumni. Substantial contributions (INR 20 Lakhs or higher) from individual donors or large pooled contributions from your class or batch will be considered for special recognition through a permanent plaque installed in the canteen.
