Director’s Message

The Fountainhead of InnovationThe Indian Institute of Technology @ Kharagpur has been the pioneer in providing thoughtleadership in the educational sector in India. Forged on the anvil of post-independence urgency tocreate a launching pad for India’s tryst with the world of high technology, it initiated the con versionof swords into plowshares by transforming the Hijli Detention Camp – a much maligned symbol ofcolonial tyranny – into a crucible that kindles the spirit of enquiry and enterprise in young men andwomen who have since gone on to guide the destinies of companies, institutions and governmentsall across the world.

In India, IIT Kharagpur has gone where no other engineering school has gone before – first intomanagement education, with the Vinod Gupta School of Management in 1993, then into law withthe Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual Property Law in 2006 and will now be launching a medicalschool in the very near future. Such innovations are essential to address the complex challengesthat are thrown up when an ancient yet evergreen nation evolves into a modern state that can fulfillthe aspirations of its young population. It is a matter of pride for us that the Institute is nowrecognized as the fountainhead from which has emerged what is arguably the most well knownIndian brand and whose ambassadors carry the spirit of the Indian tri-colour to every corner of theplanet.

It is my privilege and pleasure to welcome you all to this fountainhead, our campus, and lookforward to building mutually rewarding relationship.

Jai Hind
