Dear Goethalite,


The registration fee of Rs 1,500/-, (early bird till 7th August, 2023) for Sunday , Nov 5th would only partly take care of the overall expenses. The total expenses on the get together program would be in the range of INR 18 to 25 lacs** which would be partly covered through registration fee, sponsorships and voluntary contributions. This estimate does not take into account the proposed solar system.

We plan to have a wonderful celebration event on Sunday 5th Nov 2023 in the School where we will also enjoy a great meal in the company of current students, teachers and parents apart from connecting emotionally with the place and friends during our formative years.

Many awards and souvenirs will be given to retired teachers, retired staff and parents. We also plan to install a state-of-the-art clock tower at the school entrance.

Funds (CSR) permitting, a 50 - 100 KW solar system is planned. The solar system fund requirement will be in the range of 40 lacs to 65 lacs depending on the KW capacity, quality of the solar panels etc.

Media coverage of the event will help highlight the achievements of ex-students of GMS which will also help the School to be the preferred choice for admissions.

We rely on the support of our contributors through fundraising activities, to run and continue to improve the program. There is a lot of time and money that is required to create goes into creating a good program. To pay your voluntary contribution, please pay online through the below link.
