I was in discussion with others in MMMEC community about how to build an online directory service which includes both alumni and students and also the teachers. Then the thought came: what data needs to be collected and made available for this? I am listing down some profile information which I feel necessary. You are suggest more data. Here it goes:

Today, while browsing internet randomly, I came across this wonderful blog from a 1989 batch alumni Mr. Mukul Sharma. Here is addrs of his blog: http://mmmec-mukul.blogspot.com/

I was just thinking about the dozens of available Alumni databases. One in college, one in Delhi one in Bangalore, one in US... and so on. I am registered to many of them, but still I am not able to keep all of them up-to-date. I am sure this must be the case for most alumni working in private sector. People tend to change jobs, houses, cities and email services. They have to get information updated in banks, mobile company, cooking gas agency etc. MMMEC.in is one of the last things people update, if they do update at all. In such scenarios, updating multiple databases is a pain.

I see this as a challenging problem waiting to be solved. I am providing suggestion/opinion on a solution which I feel good. If you have better ideas, you are welcome to reply in comments. Whatever be the case, the current scenario of having multiple databases at different locations is not the best way to go. A unified database can act as the authoritative information and be used by all alumni chapters and the various Malaviyan sites. Can we bring some order to this chaos of multiple websites with overlapping features with replicated and non-current information?
