It has been the home for several national and state level conferences. It is heartening to note that annual College Day, Fresher’s Day, Graduation Day, and several alumni class reunions are being hosted there regularly. The memorable graduating class photos and reunion pictures on the steps of the auditorium provide an incredible amount of satisfaction to all of us that were part of this mega project. The aircon- ditioned reading room is very popular with students. We took up some repairs and updates to the AV equipment and changed several light bulbs to LED for improved efficiency. Some cosmetic work and landscaping were done around the building. We have installed an elevator to serve those in need. A dedicated electric transformer is now replacing the need to rely on expensive generators.

Since the historic grand opening during GMC family’s first Global Alumni Homecoming (GAH) in January 2005, several hundred programs including national and regional professional conferences, annual meetings and college functions like convocations and fresher’s days have enjoyed the beautiful facilities. Many of our alumni have delivered lecture presen- tations in their fields of expertise. Tripuraneni CME Center is equipped with internet access and subscriptions to multiple medical journals and provides a comfortable and popular study zone. We upgraded many facilities, AV equipment, and added an elevator.

The convocation class pictures of recent years on the front steps of the Auditorium fill our hearts with immense pleasure and gratification to know that the Auditorium is truly serving the intended mission of GMCANA in the form of a modern educational facility that many of us were not privileged to when we were students.

During Covid pandemic period, the activities were temporarily halted, but picked up again in recent times. From 2018 to date, over 100 events took place in the Auditorium and numerous educational activities at Dr. KRR Mohana Rao Seminar Hall. Of note are AP Medical council Zonal CME, Awareness of CPR to High school students of Guntur district by Dr. Lokesh Edara and the Collector, APCOG 2019 OB Gyne state conference, APICON 2019 47th annual conference, and District Court judges’ program to name a few.

Several alumni have chosen GMCANA Auditorium as the venue for celebrating their class reunions. Of note are the Golden Jubilees, Silver Jubilees, Ruby Jubilees reunions of alumni from many classes. On a financial note, we are very happy to note that the Auditorium is self-sufficient. We only offer material help with repairs and some areas of upkeep.
