Chetan Dhande Scholarship is set up jointly by fifteen B.Tech alumni of the class of 2013 in honor of late Chetan Dhande (B.Tech/ME/2013)
Chetan Dhande was a Class of 2013 B.Tech Mechanical Engineering undergraduate. After graduation, he worked at Honda Cars India for two and a half years and at Honda R&D Japan for two years. Unfortunately, he passed away on February 10, 2018, in a hiking incident leaving a void in every person lucky enough to interact with him. Fondly remembered by everyone around him as just “Dhande”, his friends and family cherish him for his helpfulness, patience, and wisdom.
His friends mention him as "one of those people who, once focused on something, would commit their body and soul to it. Gaming, member of the best Dota team in the country; Fitness, went from a couch slob to pro hiker; Engineering, sweated for hours in a workshop to get the perfect chamfered edge; Friendship, the beating heart of our group. It is said that no one is ever really gone when there are people who remember them. It is with this thought in mind that we honor his spirit. Even though his time with us was short, he touched the very core of our souls, and in turn, left lessons for us all. Many people have “passions”. But he was someone who followed through on his passion. And excelled at them. May his perseverance, rapt attention, kindness and inexhaustible joie de vivre continue to inspire us all”
