Our Alumni newsletter is presented to you with interesting and useful insights of events in the lives of our fraternity and their achievements. The name Payaswini was the obvious choice, when we were seeking out a name to christen the news letter after all what better way to reach out to our alumni, who not only serve as the memory of the best we have been, but also as the hope for the best we can be. Kurunji Venkataramana Gowda is from a remote village; when he was young his little heart thrilled to acquire knowledge. But the village did not have any resources to fulfill his wish. Completing primary education, he stepped into agriculture like all other children of his place. The vast farmlands paved his way to neighboring townships and cities for trading agricultural goods. He started the learning of life from those journeys. The foresight and hidden passion for knowledge laid the foundation stone for Academy of Liberal Education in 1967. Decades later, in 1986, KVG College of Engineering added one more feather to AOLE. For Internal Circulation Only For Sullians the term Payaswini is a kind of “nostalgia”, which you would love to freeze in time. The river Payaswini acts as a mirror. It displays all that is above it. It reflects the current peaceful mood, beauty and seasonal wardrobe of mother nature. As a mirror, Payaswini, symbolizes , “Us” and “Energy”, taking one back to one’s roots, ever flowing , ever growing, ever imparting . 1 Payaswini N E W S L E T T E R KVGCE SULLIA ENGINEERS ALUMNI - UAE CHAPTER Payaswini will share OUR stellar achievements, within a short span of time that we are justifiably proud of, as well as inform and inspire , by providing snapshots of the myriad ways, our alumni plan to contribute and enrich OUR lives and make a difference to the lives of the members.

For the last one and a half years, he has been undergoing dialysis, as his kidneys are no longer functioning.
