Why
a new independent site : |
|
On Aug 15, 2006, JOSAT meet, past Principal Sr. Leema
said in her speech of the need of a website for the
JMHS alumni. In that meet, I promised that I will
sponsor a website with photo sharing facility by Alumni
themselves. I announced clearly that I do this as
a gratitude for the Teachers and dedicated it to them.
Me and my friends are in faith that all the old students
will be running the site. Soon the School gave me
100s of photos of the history of the school right
from 1965, all of which are posted in the online Gallery.
The site was liked by everyone and it was launched
in a grand function as www.josat.in
After
one year this site now has 100+ members from all over
the world like Australia, Singapore, New Zealand,
US, UK, Chennai, Mumbai etc., Members have posted
50+ photos. But only one or two executive members
of JOSAT used the site and did not post more than
1 photo.
100+
Members
10+ Countries
400+ Photos
Lets Continue further...
The
School also wanted to make many changes. For eg. They
wanted to remove some of the senior teachers photo
as they are in many photos than other teachers. They
said that the School as an institution, cannot encourage
any sort of Favoritism. But since this site is open
to all the old students to add any photos, there cannot
be any restrictions by anybody. The site is designed
to be run by the students themselves. Soon many students
from all over the world began to put their photos.
So the view of the school is correct. An open site
cannot be run under the banner of the school. So the
old site www.josat.in
is now renamed as www.jonet.in.
It is run by a group of old students who wish this
site to be independent of school. Our team wishes
JONET
FOR the STUDENTS,
BY the STUDENTS
and
OF the STUDENTS.
All
students are welcome to participate in www.jonet.in
and air their views in running the site continuously.
Soon a discussion forum will be opened for all students
to share their thoughts and school stories. The aim
is share the fun and happiness of old memories and
useful messages.
Welcome
to www.jonet.in
and enjoy sharing whatever is possible within yourself.
