FOUNDED 2020

Introducing Vision 2020.

HOW IT STARTED: A small group of Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda technology friends came together for a Zoom meeting amid the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-2020. Many of us connected with each other after decades - from various cities in the United States, Singapore, Africa, and India. During this time, the idea of Vision 2020 was born.

ABOUT VISION 2020:

• The Vision 2020 project is a global MSU alumni funded initiative.

• Our goals are to benefit the current and future students of MSU Faculty of Technology and Engineering. 

• Our global alumni organization leverages a robust and successful network of professionals worldwide.

• We want to mentor and inspire students to excel in their educational and professional careers.

• We have signed MOU with MSU Alumni Network with a pledge to make this a perpetual giving campaign.

STATUS - JAN 2021::

• This is our first year of giving,

• We have raised and donated $25,000 to MSU FTE from global donors.

• We have 40+ global alumni who are mentoring the students.

• We have three pilot projects started: Mentoring, Merit, and Incubator.

• We have over 100+ MSU global alumni who have joined our initiative.

The governance team pledge.

We are all volunteers with a singular mission to make the Vision 2020 a “perpetual” effort that can someday blossom to a full-fledged multi-million dollar endowment fund for MSU.

1. Vision 2020 is a “social” enterprise.

2. Professionalism is our fundamental philosophy as we implement our mission.

3. We are a “loosely” held group of equals with consensus-driven pragmatic decision making.

4. Our initial focus is on the MSU Faculty of Technology and Engineering.

5. We partner with MSU Alumni Office, MSU Technology Faculty members, and various MSU student bodies.

6. We will utilize one hundred-percentage of funds raised for Vision-2020 for its core missions.

7. We want to measure the impact of our giving campaigns and make them more efficient each year.

8. We want to be agile and learn from our first year and then tune the programs.

9. We will share our reports periodically freely to all stakeholders, donors, and volunteers.

We invite all of you to join us.
