Jamshedpur, Sept. 19: The Regional Institute of Technology will track down its old boys in United States for a grand reunion summit on infrastructure.

A representative of the alumni organisation will head for the US in October to invite former RIT students settled there.

With the forthcoming global summit on infrastructure slated to take place in the second week of January next year at the institute, the steering committee of the association, overseeing the arrangements, met at New Delhi today to discuss modalities that should be worked out to make the event a success.

“We are not only trying to mobilise ex-RITians of the country but also those settled in USA. Today we have decided to depute S.D.K. Verma, an RIT alumnus and senior functionary of the Central government, to go to USA and get in touch with former RITians settled in the country,’’ the chairman of the steering committee and chairman of Ranchi Chapter of Indian Institute of Foundrymen Vijay Prakash Saha told The Telegraph over telephone.

Verma would be spending nearly a month in the US to interact with former RITians and convince them to attend the summit.

“There are several former students of the institute in United States, who are doing well. Some of them are successful industrialists. We would be tapping them to attend the summit,” Shah said.

Today’s steering committee meeting was attended by Union power secretary R.V. Shahi, executive director of SAIL, Ramji Singh, executive director of Hudco K.C. Jain, joint secretary of Union industries ministry Pradip Goyal, executive director of Power Grid Corporation of India N.K. Kakar, executive director of NTPC J.N. Sinha, senior official of Delhi Jal Nigam Rakesh Seth and many others.
