Since its establishment iBJB Autonomous College has been more than just an educational institution; it has been the intellectual cradle of Odisha’s capital. However, the transition from a "BJBian" student to a "BJBian" alumnus should not mark the end of the relationship, but rather the beginning of a stewardship role.

Strengthening the Brand

The reputation of an autonomous college is inextricably linked to the trajectory of its alumni. BJB’s legacy is currently upheld by many stalwarts. When alumni give back, they aren't just helping the college; they are protecting the value of their own degrees. An active, supportive alumni network signals to the world — and to accrediting bodies like NAAC — that the institution fosters lifelong success.

Beyond Monetary Support: Intellectual Philanthropy

While financial contributions are vital for upgrading infrastructure—such as the recent initiatives for the E-Library or the "Green Campus" audit—the most immediate impact comes from intellectual giving. The current job market is volatile. Alumni can bridge the gap between academic theory and industry reality.2 By returning to campus for guest lectures, offering internships, or simply mentoring a student through the "BJB Friends" association, you provide guidance that no textbook can offer.

The "Mo College" Effect

With initiatives like "Mo College" facilitating a structured platform for contribution, the mechanism to support the alma mater has never been more transparent. Whether it is funding a new auditorium or sponsoring a scholarship for the meritorious poor, every contribution helps BJB compete with private universities that have vast endowments.

The future of BJB Autonomous College depends on the "Ama College, Ama Gourav" (Our College, Our Pride) spirit. Giving back is not a transaction; it is a tribute to the classrooms that shaped you. It ensures that the next generation of leaders walking the corridors of the Arts, Science, and Commerce blocks have the same opportunities you did — if not better.
