Preamble: The role of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) in the country is undisputed in the development of the nation as a developed country. The graduate buddy engineers in the country are contributing directly and indirectly to the development of the nation. Some of them are serving in the top positions in Multinational Companies(MNCs) and contributing to the world economy. The higher educational Institutions in the country are facing a scarcity of financial resources for the fulfilment of their objectives. Further, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (F.No.33-4/2020-TS-III (Pt.1), dt 5th May 2020), Govt. of India, has directed the CFTIs to create the ‘Endowment fund’ for the purpose of mobilizing donations and contributions from alumni, industry, and Philanthropy.

The National Institute of Technology (NIT) Kurukshetra has created the National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra Alumni  Endowment Fund (NITK-AEF) hereafter known as AEF with a view to cater for the aspirations of the Alumni of the Institute. The NITK-AEF will be managed by the National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra Alumni Endowment Board (NITK-AEB), hereafter known as AEB. The Alumni of the Institute have deep feelings for their attachment to the Institute and they can be important stakeholders in the development of the Institute in particular and the nation in general. They wish to give back to their alma mater at a certain point in time after the fulfilment of their personal and professional goals. The Institute appeals to its alumni who studied in the Institute either at the time of Regional Engineering College Kurukshetra (RECK) or at the time of the National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra, to donate generously to their alma mater.
