The Christ Jyoti School Alumni Association (CJSAA) concluded its 3rd official alumni meet, “Rekindle 2024,” on Wednesday.

The event was a grand celebration of camaraderie, nostalgia, and community service.

The CJSAA conducted a social contribution drive and a Drugs Free Nagaon rally on October 14, leading up to the main event. The team visited the Mother Teresa Charity Home, Orphanage/State Women Home, and State Old Age Home, distributing aid materials and exchanging warm greetings.

The Rekindle 2024 event was held at the Christ Jyoti School premises from 4 PM to 11:30 PM in which Nagaon MLA, Rupak Sarmah attended as the chief guest. It was a memorable affair under the guidance of Fr James Thapa, chairperson of CJSAA and principal of Christ Jyoti School, and Zafiur Rahman, president of the Alumni Association (Batch 2009).

Moreover, the cultural evening featured captivating performances by Assamese singer Bishrut Saikia, DJ Rawat, and the Malkauns Band. Before the cultural evening, a poignant condolence session was held to honour the departed souls who were once part of the CJS family.

Recognizing the dedication and service of the school’s staff, several teachers and non-teaching staff who completed over 25 years of service were awarded lifetime achievement awards. Additionally, several ex-teachers were felicitated for their contributions.

The event witnessed a remarkable turnout of ex-students from various batches from 1994 to 2024. Established by Fr. G.K. Prakash in 1983, Christ Jyoti School remains a prestigious institution in the state and is now fostering a strong sense of community among its alumni network.
