On 5 October, the first meeting of the Executive Council of The Gregorian Society (TGS) was held at the Gregorian Alumni Club premises, reads a press release.
Along with the endorsement of the Executive Council of 25, several other important decisions were adopted to ensure the smooth operation of the Alumni.

Grn Yousuf Rahman (Babu), class of 1967, the former Bangladesh national cricketer and Grn Syed Ahsan Habib (Rana), class of 1979, were unanimously nominated as the President and General Secretary respectively. Both of them, along with the entire Executive Council will be in charge on Ad-hoc basis until 31 December 2023 by which date, as per the Constitution of TGS, an AGM has to be held that is to lead towards the election or selection of a new Executive Council.
