Giving Back to Alma Mater symbolizes the vision
of shaping the world of tomorrow.

There have been many in the history of acade-
mia who were generous contributors to the
cause of education. The patronization of the gu-
rukuls by kings was the hallmark of ancient In-
dian education system. Plato is said to have
made an endowment to Athenian Academy
which made it the citadel of academic excel-
lence and democratic thoughts or a thousand
years. Benaras Hindu University, Indian Institute
of Science, Stanford University are excellent ex-
amples of philanthropy.

@IITKgp we have tales of philathropy of our
own, which have transformed a technological
institution set up in 1951 to a holistic institution
comparable only to world class universities.

We thank you, the alumni of IITKgp, to have
contributed generously for these transformative
changes and offer you endless opportunities of
your choice to etch your name in the legacy of
your Alma Mater.
