Under the fresh and rejuvenated leadership of Yousuf Rahman (Babu) as President and Syed Ahsan Habib (Rana) as Gen. Secretary, along with a host of competent members in the Executive Council backed up by a team of highly experienced Gregorians as Advisors, TGS portrays an image of youth and experience. It has already shown adequate signs of “giving
back to the Alma Mater” theme through its plans for implementation of multiple projects. The first project that TGS has sponsored is the GELC’s (Gregorian English Language Club) Annual English Carnival of 2022, an event that draws a few thousand students from various schools and colleges of the country. In May of 2022, upon the return of Grn. Yousuf Rahman from USA, one of the key founders of the TGA, several members of the alumni, including Bro. Leo Periera c.s.c., the then Principal of SGHS&C (St. Gregory’s High School and College), requested him to re-organize TGA in such manner so that it would work under a legal standing in the country. He was also requested to use his best effort to unite the alumni under one umbrella. In a conciliatory gesture, Yousuf Rahman approached the existing Secretary of TGA and a few others to come together under one unit to crystallize the Alumni and strengthen it. Regrettably, the lack of response left many not only puzzled but also disheartened.
