An Alumni and their relations with an Educational Institutions :  Alumni are the reflection of its past, representation of its present and a link to its future. Alumni relations have become a strategic asset for any kind of education institution willing to stand out from the domestic and international competition. Educational institutions are changing the way they see and interact with their alumni community.

Today’s world is a global village. Everyone is connected to one another in this vast network generated by the Internet. As said by Marshall McLuhan, a philosopher of communication theory, “The new electronic independence re-creates the world in the image of a global village.” This electronic independence is inherently dependent upon the Internet. It illuminates the lives of thousands of people by spreading knowledge internationally, thereby making us global citizens.

How do they influence the lives of students? Humans are social animals. We alway...
