“The Jet Town will need Nadi College to be brought back to life,
to absorb the growing population it once served. A lot of scholars have gone out of the school and are playing top roles in all facets of professions either locally or overseas,” Mr Kumar said.

Mr Qoro on behalf of the organising committee added that in the
future when programmes were put in place, it would surely be bigger and better.
“This is just the beginning of our meetings. We will get all the leaders of all the classes to be part of the committee of Nadi College Old Scholars and also to elect a president,” he said.
Nadi businessman Ashfaaq Khan said it was encouraging to see peers of his years present.
