Dear Alumnus,

Good News:

Are you aware in 2010-11 your alma mater has been

ranked among the top 25 technology colleges in Asia

by QS Top Universities and the top engineering

college by Outlook India? But the potential is far

more. Let us work towards it together.

With the reputation of the Institute strengthening

itself in the world scenario, we decided to bring to you

how we are making this progress possible,

acknowledge your contributions and involvement

towards this end and what more could be done to

make your alma mater a top class global institution

and sustain it thereof.

Being associated with such an esteemed Institute as

a student, alumnus, faculty and presently as Dean,

Alumni Affairs & International Relations, has

helped me to perceive the Institute through multi-

dimensional aspects. As a result the need to address

dynamic requirements of the Institute and the

strategies thereof has become pristine. Throughout

this last year we have worked towards realizing this

process through a program called Institutional

Development (ID). The ID program aims to

contribute towards strengthening infrastructural

development projects, chair professorships,

scholarships, R&D projects and general

endowments. In order to compete with the best

technological universities in a global environment,

we must increase both long-term endowment and

current operating funds. Also priority for the

Institute is to provide more support for student

initiatives - and gifts from alumni and friends will

help us do that.

The Office of Alumni Affairs and International

Relations is the coordinating centre of ID Program

conducting all means of official communications,

events and activities pertaining to alumni. Round the

year the office publishes journals and newsletters for

updating the alumni. Preeminently, with every

department publishing annual reports, this time as

an initiative of the ID Program, the Office of Alumni

Affairs & International Relations took its maiden

approach bringing forward its own annual report to

proffer comprehendible transparency on various

projects from brand building to fund raising under

the ID Program on ascendable resource development

projects to overall growth of the Institute.

You are a part of our timeline, and your engagement

with the Institute is crucial in helping us reach our

vision. You are energetic, knowledgeable and

immensely talented with strong networks, you can

mobilize funds and resources for over all

development and expansion of our alma mater. So, be

proud to be connected, and make others proud by

connecting and contributing.

If you have any ideas on how we can engage with

you, please feel free to contact me at

[email protected]

We could do better . . . and we should!

IIT Kharagpur

1Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur

1. What are your recollection

highlights of the past 60 years?

Ans. The Institute started with 208 undergraduates,

12 research scholars and 42 teachers from the

historic Hijli Detention Camp in August 1951.

Research formed an integral part of teacher-centric

IIT system of education. A teacher was fully

empowered to design content of the syllabus, to teach

and to continuously evaluate the performance of the

students. The concept was unheard of in this

country. Masters and PhD level research

programmes followed. In last 60 years the Institute

has grown in size. The Institute currently has over

9,000 students and about 575 faculty, offering 15

B.Tech (Hons) programmes, a B.Arch. (Hons)

programme, 35 Dual Degree Programmes, 7

Diamond Jubilee in view ofProf. Damodar Acharya, Director

integrated M.Sc. programmes, 6 two-year M.Sc.

programmes and 52 postgraduate programmes. The

Institute besides pioneering the IIT system of

education has been introducing many new

programmes for the first time in the country and in

the IIT system that includes B.Tech (Hons) in

Computer Science & Engineering, B.Tech (Hons) in

Energy Science & Engineering, B.Tech (Hons) in

Biotechnology, B.Tech (Hons) in Manufacturing

Science & Engineering, B.Tech (Hons) in

Instrumentation Engineering, Master of Medical

Science & Technology, Bachelor of Law with

specialization in Intellectual Property Rights, and

MBA. Research and innovation are being given push

through creation of several Advanced Technology

Development Centres, Research Centres and

Multidisciplinary Research Groups. This has led to

2 Alumni Annual Report 2010 - 11

three-fold increase in research output in terms of

publications in peer reviewed journals, PhDs and

Patents in last 10 years. The landscape of the

Campus is continuously being changed to

accommodate large number of students, faculty and

new academic initiatives. The basic structure and

strength of IIT system of education that centered

around close interaction between the teacher and the

taught, community living and holistic personality

development are being painstakingly maintained.

2. What are your initiatives in your

tenure as IIT KGP Director?

Ans. The academic initiatives taken during my

tenure as Director include:

i) Bringing major changes in undergraduate,

postgraduate and research programmes that

include introduction of slow pace programmes.

ii) Introducing Bioscience and Environmental

Science as compulsory subjects for all

undergraduates.

iii) Close monitoring of the programme and

evaluation of the same by the students through

ERP system.

iv) New initiatives to encourage research through

Joint M.Tech-PhD, Joint M.Sc-PhD and Joint

MS-PhD programmes.

v) New academic initiatives include :

establishment of RCG School of Infrastructure

Design and Management, School of Water

Resource Management, P K Sinha Centre of

Bioenergy and Rajendra Mishra School of

Engineering Entrepreneurship.

vi) Major initiatives have been taken to augment

the Campus infrastructure that include

doubling the student accommodation facilities,

creation of about 450 accommodation for the

faculty, about 100 accommodation for the

supporting staff, a mega Classroom Complex

that will have 83 classrooms in the first phase,

a First Year Laboratory Complex, a new Block

for Chemical Science named after the

Founding Director Sir J C Ghosh and a

Chemical Science Laboratory Complex named

after Sir P C Roy. Sports and Games and other

facilities are being substantially augmented to

meet the students' need.

vii) Other major initiatives include construction of

a Road Over Bridge at the entry, a new Water

Supply System, Widening of the Roads and

improvement in the Drainage Systems.

viii) Several Interdisciplinary Research Centres

that include : Centre for Railway Research, IIT

Kharagpur – DVC Research Centre on Power,

General Motors Collaborative Research

Laboratory in Electronics Controls and

Software are now functional.

ix) To have better involvement of the alumni and

to strengthen their connectivity, an

institutional development programme is in

place. This will increase transparency and

accountability. Results in the form of RCG

School of Infrastructure Design and

Management, School of Water Resource

Management, P K Sinha Centre of Bioenergy

and Rajendra Mishra School of Engineering

Entrepreneurship are visible.

3. Education in India in general and

IITs in particular in undergoing

major expansion and change. What

are the major highlights and

opportunities?

Ans. Expansion and change that were overdue in

education including in the IIT system are now taking

place. Such changes are inevitable. IITs have no

doubt created a global brand for the quality of

education that they offer particularly at

undergraduate level. The country requires good

quality Masters and Ph.D Degree holders in large

number to sustain its growing research and

education needs. Producing good number of Ph.Ds

and postgraduates is perhaps the most important

challenge to the IIT system. With opening of the

education sector, the competition for good quality

students is now a reality. Our quality of education

and research has to be at par with the best in the

world. The brand IIT now gives us opportunity to


spread our wing to other countries and to attract

students from other countries to our Campus. This

gives us good opportunity to upgrade our facilities

and quality of education. The need for cutting edge

research is increasingly being felt. The Industries are

now willing to support such research to remain

globally competitive. This gives us plenty of

opportunities to augment both quality and quantity

of research. Major challenges are, therefore, for IITs

to harness the opportunities. They include hiring

good quality faculty in large number, providing them

attractive facilities and compensation packages,

upgrading the research and education infrastructure

and creating facilities comparable to the best

accommodation within the Institute for all. Good

quality schooling and healthcare support facilities

are also to be provided.

Generation, protection and commercialization of

Intellectual Property is key to our success in

globalized market. The country needs scientists and

engineers with specialization in Intellectual

Property Law. IIT Kharagpur has started a Law

School, Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual Property

Law”. Its graduates have already made marks for

themselves.

While receiving the Nobel Prize in Medicine, the

Nobel laureate remarked that the technology and

medicine must become closer to each other, the two

diverse disciplines must merge. Keeping this in view,

the Institute is launching a new School, Dr. Bidhan

Chandra Roy Institute of Medical Science and

Research. The Institute will not be a run of the mill

Medical College. It will bring the technology and

medicine together to create new paradigm for

medical education and healthcare delivery. Students

studying medicine shall have opportunity to

specialize on certain aspects of technology and vice

versa.

4. IITs are known for technology,

education, research. But many ask

the questions about how IITs have

contributed to “Nation building”.

Can you give some examples of how

IIT KGP has contributed to the

nation (e.g. in rural, agriculture,

environment, poverty, health…)?

Ans. IIT Kharagpur has significant contribution to

the process of nation building. IIT Kharagpur is

fortunate to have an Agricultural and Food

Engineering Department that has significant

contribution at national level. It includes

technologies for modernization of rice mills,

technologies for post harvest processing of grains,

vegetables and fruits, developing new genetically

modified disease resistant cotton seed, developing

technologies for precision agriculture, developing

technologies for water harvesting and tea processing.

The Institute has a Department of Architecture and

Regional Planning that has contributed significantly

to develop Master Plans for growing cities including

New Town in Rajarhat in Kolkata, Bhubaneswar

and Cuttack Development Authorities, Durgapur,

Haldia and Regional Plan for the North-East. The

Department has contributed significantly to

renovation of Historic Monuments and Heritage

Buildings. IIT Kharagpur, being located in a rural

area, has been promoting rural development through

its Rural Development Centre for more than three

decades now. It has a strong footpoints of district-

based regional development, schemes for Intensive

Crop Farming, Forestry, Horticulture, and NTFP-

based Crafts. The newly added Regional Centre for

Rural Technology Action Group (RuTAG) has

contributed significantly in development and

introduction of more efficient and effective rural

technologies including Potters' Wheel, Ambar

Charkha, machines for rope making, machines for

processing of minor forest produce, water filters for

safe drinking water and bioenergy production. The

Institute is engaged in developing Environment

Impact Assessment and Environmental

Management Plans for cities, mines, coastal zones

etc. In the healthcare sector the Institute has

pioneered in establishing a School of Medical Science

& Technology that promotes interdisciplinary

research relating healthcare to other engineering

disciplines. The School has successfully developed a

Reversible Male Contraceptive 'RISUG' that is now


undergoing third phase of its clinical trial. It has

helped production of quality Copper T – a female

contraceptive. India is now the largest exporter of

this contraceptive. The School has made significant

contribution to Therapeutic and Nutraceutical

Compounds, Non-invasive Testing Devices, material

for Jaipur Foot, Device for Heart Sound Monitoring

and Artificial Heart that has undergone trial on goat,

Medical Implants and others to name a few. IIT

Kharagpur is contributing at national level to key

sectors of economy such as Steel Industries through

Steel Technology Centre, Railways through Railway

Research Centre, Power through IIT Kharagpur –

DVC R&D Centre, Tea Industries through Tea

Engineering Research Centre, Telecom through

Vodafone Essar – IIT Kharagpur TCOE and to

National Security through Centre of Excellence in

Information Insurance.

5. Can you think of major inventions

of discoveries coming out of IIT

Kharagpur that we could highlight

or feature particularly some

inventions or products that

contributed to the country?

Ans. IIT Kharagpur has applied for 242 Patents and

received 109 Patents in last few years.

Over the years IIT Kharagpur has gained special

expertise in advanced chip design, CAD for VLSI and

MEMS, software development, planning,

management and ERP working closely with all major

national and international organizations. Research

has also been initiated on specialized areas such as

MEMS based components for RF application. The

large gamut of specialized software technologies

include power management software, telemedicine

software (currently used in several remote sites in

several States), communication empowerment

software for physically challenged, software for

medical measurements and tools for security and

biometric authentication.

Other important software developed include a

specialized bond-graph based technology, simulators

for biomechanics, and a fluid mechanics and ocean

dynamics based software for storm surge

measurements.

In the areas of Life Sciences, the Institute has an

artificial heart development program that is

undergoing phase II trial. A unique male

contraceptive, RISUG is undergoing third phase of

trial.

The major research initiatives in nanotechnology

and nano-materials include work on nano-

composites, nano-wires, semiconductors and metal

alloys. A major research initiative in the

development of MBE cluster tool nano-

semiconductor infrastructure and nano-devices has

been initiated. The area of micro-fluidics and bio-

nano-mems has developed new techniques for DNA

hybridization, micro-scale cooling for electronic

components and digital microfluidics.

The development of a solar powered aircraft as a

major student-led funded research project has

underscored the active participation of the students

in niche areas.

6. Can you point to some major IIT

7. What would you like to see the

alumni to do for the IITs for India?

Ans. IIT Kharagpur would like the alumni to be its

brand ambassador. The most important contribution

that the Institute looks from its alumni is their time.

They can use this time to work as Joint Faculty to

share their experience with the students, to forge

collaboration in research with Industry of their

choice and to mentor the students. Financially they

could contribute towards endowment, scholarship,

chair professorship, special programmes, learning

centres and towards Diamond Jubilee events that

include publications, mementoes, lecture series and

PanIIT 2012 Global Conference.

K. Radhakrishnan is the Chairman of ISRO and 8. What are the grand challenges for

the next 50 years?

Ans. Change in the mindset from being one of the

best Institutions, offering quality undergraduate

programmes to one of the best that excels in Masters

and Doctoral level education, creates new knowledge

and contribute to national and global development

initiatives is the major challenge. Scaling of

infrastructure and facilities to be at par with the best

in the world is the next important challenge. This

will be essential for the Institute to draw good quality

faculty and students from within the country and

from other countries. To become a global player in

higher technical education, the Institute needs to

generate sufficient resources apart from the

Government grant from within the country and

abroad. The Institute has to excel in research and in

quality education to meet the needs of the

Government, Corporate and Service Sectors. This in

turn will call for a major change in the facilities,

faculty profiles and research infrastructures.

Increasing global exposure of the students is also

going to be a challenge.

9. What are your future plans for IIT

Kharagpur? What are you most

excited about or interested in?

Ans. Keeping in view the vision of the Founding

Fathers like Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Sir J. C.

Ghosh, the Institute shall strive to become an

excellent Centre of Learning with students and

faculty drawn from all over the world. The Institute

wants to have at least 10% of its faculty from other

countries and 20% of postgraduate and research

students from abroad on its roll. This shall call for

significant improvement in its infrastructure and

generation of financial resources. Interdisciplinary

education and research that could make a difference

will continue to be the effort of the Institute.

The Institute is planning to enter into the field of

Medical Education to bridge the gap between two

diverse disciplines of Engineering and Medicine. The

proposed Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy Institute of

Medical Science and Research within IIT Kharagpur


will not be a run of the mill Medical College. It will

bring in a paradigm shift in Medical Education

incorporating scientific analysis and technology into

the teaching of medicine. Simulation and virtual

reality will supplement the current experiential

learning and skill development. The product will be a

technology and analysis savy doctor who will be in a

position to use technology in creating and sustaining

the healthcare delivery system with wider reach. The

programme will be supported by a Biomedical

Research Centre and a technology enhanced

outreach programme. Interdisciplinary research will

bring the engineering students and faculty closer to

the medicine and vice-versa. The programme will be

supported by a 1,000 bed tertiary care hospital with

necessary infrastructure. The Institute will produce

more postgraduates and Ph.Ds than the

undergraduate MBBS.

The Institute has considerable bioscience interest

offering programmes in Biotechnology, Medical

Science and Technology, Plant Genetics, Agriculture

Biotechnology and Food Processing besides Drug

Design and Delivery. To support these activities, the

Institute shall establish a School of Bioscience

basically focusing on Cell and Molecular Biology.

Design and manufacturing of quality engineering

products need serious attention, if the country as a

whole could remain globally competitive. Keeping

this in view, the Institute is creating a School of

Quality Engineering Design and Manufacturing in

collaboration with several Industries from such

verticals as automobile, aerospace and electronics.

This School will produce Dual Degree Graduates who

can bridge the gap between the demand and the

supply of engineers who could be an innovative

designer and a manufacturer of global products.

To produce a set of bright entrepreneurs and job

generators, the Institute has introduced a five-year

Dual Degree programme on Engineering

Entrepreneurship where a student gets a B.Tech

(Hons.) and a Masters Degree in Entrepreneurship.

Each student goes through an innovation process

from his/her second year onwards to develop an idea

into a commercially viable product or process. Each

student is mentored by a faculty and a successful

entrepreneur, preferably an IITian from across the

globe. The student is not encouraged to appear at

campus interview. However, deferred placement is

available to him if he fails as an entrepreneur. The

Institute helps him to arrange for venture capital

funding. It also provides him incubation facilities.

Rajendra Mishra School of Engineering

Entrepreneurship is first of its kind.


KGP is moving forward with renewed vigor and

excitement. As you are aware, IIT Kharagpur is

celebrating its Diamond Jubilee on this August 18th,

and immediately thereafter we plan to embark on a

new journey that shall take us to even greater

heights of excellence. The higher education policies of

Progress Report ofInstitutionalDevelopment (ID)Program

Message fromManaging Director

India are in a transition phase with foreign varsities

approaching the system and institutions like IIT

being recommended to be self sustaining. You must

be aware of the Rs. 200 crores grant in the budget of

2011-2012. However there is a condition to it. Every

penny granted by the Government has to be matched

by the Institute from an independent source. This is

the first signal towards self sustenance. Such

governmental strategies would require IITs to

function and in a comprehensive manner. IIT KGP is

committed to this transformation as evidenced by

launching of Institutional Development (ID)

Program and other initiatives. The ID Program

envisaged a grand plan for IIT KGP in the coming

years. This will include significant developments

across the Institute.

The ID team strives to create new methodologies of

work and ambience and 'Indianize' the program to

suit our requirements. Even though the top

universities in the world have development

programs, in India, IIT KGP has pioneered in

designing this program which will serve as the

guiding lamp for many others in the country.

Through this program the Institute will exert

towards self sustenance. To achieve this end the

Program has been fashioned to improve alum

connectivity, enhance communication and ensure

accountability.

The program's initial target is to raise the matching

Rs. 200 crores from alumni and corporate. Another

very important landmark for ID Program is to raise

funds for Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The

requirement is Rs. 7 crores. I would encourage all our

alumni to contribute towards this cause and also

assist us in reaching out to corporate and agencies

involved in investing for CSR programs, new

technology developments etc. Together we could

make this possible and take out alma mater to new

heights. The Institute has walked a long way and it

has a lot more to achieve in the future. It is a

renaissance for IIT KGP! Being a KGPian, I sincerely

hope you will be part of all activities.

Leadership Gifts

Key to achieving a

sustainable future is the need to develop and maintain a

robust and diverse funding base. Accessing a wide range

of funding opportunities will enable the Institute to

spread dependency across a range of funding sources

rather than few chosen alumni and the Government of

India. The ID program wants to encourage a shared

responsibility for fundraising. Here everyone is a

fundraiser for their beloved Institute.

In order to compete with the globally

well ranked schools, we must increase both long-term

endowment and current operating funds. Endowments

and rankings have a direct correlation. So we have

targeted on endowment which will provide us a strong

capital base in addition to sustainable source of funding

for various projects. Until now we have the policy of

creating endowments, 80% of the interest earned from

the endowment fund will be spend for the specific project,

the balance amount will be re-invested in the fund.

Many corporate houses have programs

through which they will "match" the charitable

contributions made by their employees. Through gift

matching, an alumnus, a chapter or a corporate can

multiply the value of the gift made to the Institute,

making it go further.

– Gifts made by leading donors to

the Institute. The ID program focuses to create more

such leaders. These funds could be utilized for new

constructions and new projects and creating

endowments for sustaining those projects.

Individuals – Alumni contributions majorly towards

developing varied aspects of the Institute

Corporations – ID Program is approaching corporations

for raising endowments as well funds for specified

purposes. We are in the process of roping in corporate

houses for this purpose.

Foundations – The Foundations, Alumni associations

and local chapters have been supporting several alumni

events every year. The same could be channelized to

support fund raising programs for the Institute, the

advantage being herein we will get dedicated group of

alumni who are aware about the Institute's goals and

status.

– Herein we will find a

perennial source of funds through systematic

donations. This fund can be used for sustaining annual

projects and programs, meeting operational

expenditure.

– Campaigns are the best

resource to raise small contributions from a

comparatively larger group. This will create a discipline

among the givers to donate towards their alma mater.

During these 60 years, the Institute has come a long way. A sub-urban

pre-independence detention camp where the Institute was established, it

has rose to the stature of a great institution producing world-class alumni

over the years. From initial student strength of 224 and 10 departments

today we are at a student strength approximating 10000 with 33

departments, schools and centres, including multidisciplinary

programmes. In this transformation process a key role has been played by

possible the alumni, students and faculty have for their beloved Institute.

Now that we have an excellent track record of delivering results with

consistency, we are doing it again through the introduction of our 2020

Vision. There is a long way ahead and we urge your whole hearted support

and co-operations. United we stand.
