The MoU was signed by Alumnus Ketan Chaudhry (the donor), Prof. Rajesh Bhatia, Director (ad-interim), and Dr. Rajesh Kanda, Head of Alumni, Corporate & International Relations, in the presence of Dr. Jimmy Karloopia, Prof-in-charge (ACIR), Ms. Rajinder Kaur, Alumni Relations Manager, and Prof. Umesh Sharma (Civil Engineering Department). The ceremony was followed by a high tea.

This MoU symbolizes the enduring bond between PEC and its alumni, highlighting a shared commitment to fostering educational opportunities for students in need. PEC extends its heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Ketan Chaudhry and Mrs. Amrita Narang for their invaluable contribution.
