SARJANA 
Glad to know that BIT Sindri organised Dr. Rajendra Prasad Memorial Metal Quiz and plan to continue in coming years also. This way students will be able to know about a great teacher, scholar and above all an excellent human being that Prof. Rajendra Prasad was. There may be numerous examples of students who would have directly got benefitted from his students helping attitude. I myself feel lucky one to have got help and inspiration from him but for whom I would not have been able to become a metallurgical engineer as it was he who decided for me for taking branch and college. He was a very simple person. I am sure students will get inspired by the event. Regards Arbind Kumar 1980 admission batch Metallurgy
