Doha, Qatar: Government College Madappally Alumni Qatar (GMAQ), representing one of Kerala’s oldest and most renowned institutions - Government College Madappally in Vadakara - will be officially launched tomorrow (Friday) in Doha. The inaugural event, titled Reconnect, will take place at the DPS School Auditorium in Al Wakrah, marking a significant milestone for the Madappally alumni community in Qatar.

Vadakara natives form a vibrant and influential segment of the Malayali expatriate community in Qatar, with thousands of alumni from Madappally College currently residing in Doha. GMAQ has been formed with the objective of bringing all former students under one unified platform, fostering stronger bonds, networking opportunities, and collective initiatives that reflect the legacy and values of their alma mater.

A major highlight of the evening will be the felicitation of Dr. Gokulam Gopalan, a distinguished alumnus of Madappally College and a prominent figure with an illustrious presence in trade, industry, education, healthcare, and cinema. In addition, four Madappally College alumni in Qatar who have completed forty years of expatriate life will also be honoured during the ceremony in recognition of their long-standing contributions and achievements.

The event will also witness the release of a special souvenir featuring articles related to Madappally and literary works by several talented writers. Adding to the celebratory spirit, an array of musical performances has been arranged, featuring playback singers Vijesh Gopal, Chitra Arun, Vishnu Vardhan, and Kritika. Farisha Hussain will enthrall the audience with her Mappila songs, while Sudhan Kaiveli - himself an alumnus of Madappally College - will further enrich the musical evening.

Khalid Abdulrahman Al Fakhru, a senior official of the Ministry of Labor, will attend as the chief guest. Details of the event were shared at a press conference attended by Dr. Gokulam Gopalan, Organizing Committee Chairman Ashiq Ahmed, General Convener Sreenath Parambath, GMAQ President Faisal Keloth, General Secretary Biju CK, Treasurer Noushad, Concord Manager Jubeesh, and Rehaab Media Director Shafi Parakkal. The organisers expressed confidence that Reconnect will mark the beginning of a dynamic and enduring alumni movement in Qatar
