Three Alumni Chapters were organized in the Eastern Himalayan region during May/June 2014. (Then) Principal Mohan Chacko was present during the meetings.
Earlier, the whole of the region was considered one chapter. It was felt that as the number of alumni increases the region could be divided. Distance between the cities and time taken for travel also was a factor in the decision to divide the region.
The State of Sikkim has now been made an independent unit. Of the 16 alumni working in Sikkim, 8 were present at the organizing meeting in Mangan, North Sikkim. Rev Shyam Subba was elected president. The other officers are Mrs Ruth Norden Lepcha (Secretary) and Rev Bijay Sherpa (Treasurer).
The Kalimpong unit will remain unchanged.
It was proposed that a third chapter be made for Darjeeling, Siliguri and the Doars regions, which was approved by the alumni who gathered together in Siliguri (including from Sikkim and Kalimpong). Rev. Sudan Tingbo was chosen as the President. He was asked to appoint a Secretary and Treasurer in consultation with the rest of the members.
Principal Mohan Chacko spoke to the alumni and updated them with the latest news from PTS. They were challenged to establish at least one scholarship for needy students at PTS.
The Mess Committee comprised of the Dean of Students, the Administrator, Campus nurse and 5 student members held meetings every month to discuss and make a menu for the following month.
The PTS library has sufficient books to cater to the present needs.The library has a collection of 31,200 volumes and subscribe to many national and international journals and magazines.
