Manipay Hindu College Old Students Association (UK)

An association was formed some time in the early 1990s. But due to unforeseen circumstances this association ceased functioning.

Feeling the necessity of an association in UK, a few of the old students have now formed the current association on 17th June 2001.

The old students who met on this day formed a committee of management, names of whom are listed below.
