The event, held on campus and themed \"Guru Vandana – A Tribute to Beloved Teachers,\" united approximately 100 alumni with their respected educators to commemorate 25 years of graduation and honor the mentors who guided their academic and professional paths. Prof. N. S. Lingegowda, coordinator of the VVCE Alumni Association, emphasized the emotional significance of the reunion and the enduring connection between teachers and students. Vice-Principal Shobhashankar provided an overview of VVCE's development, including its successful acquisition of NBA and NAAC accreditation, modern infrastructure, and student-focused facilities. He also expressed the institution's desire to achieve private university status in the future. P. Vishwanath, secretary of the Vidyavardhaka Sangha, praised the college's accomplishments in academic results, placements, and admissions, and stressed the infrastructure enhancements at VVCE. He encouraged alumni to assist young engineers through professional referrals and recruitment from reputable companies. Gundappa Gowda, president of the Vidyavardhaka Sangha, urged alumni to support economically disadvantaged students and establish endowment awards to recognize academic achievers. One of the honored educators likened the reunion to a mesmerizing and humble journey back to 1997, reminiscing about his initial students, classrooms, and the institution. Distinguished alumnus Keshav, who journeyed from Canada, expressed admiration for VVCE's transformation and remarked that the batch had left its mark on the institution's growth.
