Your activites of the college days are not recorded any where. Please send your information before it is too late.
Though our school is more than 120 year's old it is very sad to say that a very little historical information is available. Your activities, performance, and achievements are hardly recorded. Information of the periods of past principal Mr Billimoria, thanks to his visionary actions, is preserved through the Telescope magazine (bi weekly issued) where few issues preserved with us. Few Rajans magazines (annually issued) reveal subsequent history. The situation is more serious in recent past as no detailed magazine was issued. There was no proper place to preserve information, there is no culture of record keeping and overwhelming amount of college activities may be the main reasons which prevented collecting of information. After establishment of the Archives, now there is a place to preserve the information and we are in the process of collecting information. In order to manage vast amount of information generated, a fully fledged Web Database of the Archives is in operation now. It is our intention to make this database, the repository of information of the College. There are several web applications are deployed to provide different information to different stakeholders of the Rajans community. All of the applications share the same database which gives unified information to all. The basic information of Rajans from year 1913 to date is already entered to the database. The detail data collection is in progress.
We need your financial support. Please donate. Even a small amout will help a lot.
Collecting new information that is being generated in the school is challenging. Therefore College Archives obtains a service from a paid employee to collect information who can fill the missing gaps while collecting new information. We are presently raising a fund which will provide a sufficient bank interest to pay a salary for an employee. Please consider to contribute for this noble activity. The archives building has to be renovated. A multi-media projector, and fire protection devices has to be purchased. Therefore we seek your generous contributions. Any contribution big or small is welcome. The names of donors of over Rs. 5000.00 will be permanently displayed inside the archives. The list of donations can be accessed through the web (http://archives.dharmaraja.net/ArchivesDB/donations_list.php) and all the payments are subjected to the Principal’s scrutiny. The accounts are audited and donors can access the audit reports.
