Director 's Report“We take our teaching function at all levels most seriously. We take special pride in the traditions that we havebuilt over the years for providing an education to our students which not only helps them become great scholars and specialists in their subjects of study, but also transform them into creative and socially responsive human beings.”

Prof. Surendra PrasadDirector, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi

It gives me great pleasure to share with you our Annual Report for 2010-11 highlighting our activities, achievements and future plans. At the outset, it is a great pleasure and privilege for me to share that in the latest survey conducted by various agencies such as India Today, Outlook and the Week, IIT Delhi enjoys the top ranks (being ranked at No. 1 or 2 by all of them) amongst all the engineering colleges in India. The Institute continues to be ranked amongst the top 50 Technological Institutions globally.

Marking the beginning of a year, in which the IITD family joined forces with all its stakeholders, the Golden Jubilee celebrations were formally launched on 16th August 2010. As we celebrated we pledged to conceive and start new initiatives to take IITD to its next level in the next decade, and help join the league of the truly great institutions of the World. The Honourable President of India inaugurated the Golden Jubilee year.

For the second year this time, IIT Delhi celebrated its Foundation Day on 27th January, 2010 with special lectures by faculty and students followed by a cultural program. The celebration was inaugurated by Prof. M. G. K. Menon, Ex-Chairman, BoG, IIT Delhi, as the Chief Guest. We are also happy to report that IIT Ropar, which IIT Delhi is mentoring right from its inception, and which is now operating from its campus at Ropar, growing from strength to strength.

Over the years, quietly but surely, we have also built a strong research tradition, which is easily seen in the impressive statistics that the Institute can boast of. Most recently, the Institute has

set up the School of Bio-sciences, with a thrust on research in communicable and non-communicable diseases. The growing visibility of the Institute has been steadily leading to a larger role in partnerships.

The Institute has been actively involved in collaborative programmes with national and international organizations/universities to remain at the forefront in scientific and technological development and to share the knowledge for mutual benefits. IIT Delhi has currently 94 MoUs/ Agreements with foreign institutions/ organizations and 49 MoUs/ Agreements with Indian Institutions/ Organizations. The main objectives of collaboration include exchange of students and faculty, joint research, and fellowships for training and research at doctoral and post-doctoral levels.

At the international level, agreements have been signed with École Centrale Paris, France, National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), China, Chalmers University of Technology Gothenburg, Sweden, University of Aizu, Japan, The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (ISIR), Osaka University, Japan, Gunma University, Japan, Pedagogica University, Mozambique, University of Houston, USA, College of Engineering, University of Saskatchewan, Canada, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal (EPM), Canada, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Faculty of Textile Science and Technology, Shinshu University, Japan, Dublin City University, Ireland, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Korea (POSTECH), Cork Institute of Technology, Cork, Ireland, University of Los Andes, Bogota, Colombia, and Pukyong National University (PKNU), Busan, Korea.

Faculty Achievements

Our faculty is one of the finest in the country and is recognised internationally for its quality of research, teaching and curriculum development. It also contribute greatly for the development of the nation by being associated with a large number of decision making bodies, providing crucial guidance and advice on policy matters and technical issues.

During the period under report, international bibliographic databases have indexed 1958 research articles published by the faculty members and researchers of the institute in international journals including 1340 articles indexed in Scopus, an international indexing service in Science & Technology and Social Sciences. The faculty members also presented a similar number of papers in national and international conferences. Besides, they also published many books and conducted several continuing education programmes. The institute supported participation of 98 faculty members to international conferences and 107 national conferences this year. Many more participated with financial support from sponsored projects, and other funding agencies. The institute provides seed research funding to the new faculty upon joining the Institute to the tune of Rs. 10.00 lakhs (or more when necessary).

The Institute has also launched its new website this year, which is easier to navigate through and which projects the many activities of the Institute, including its research activities, in a dynamic manner.

Institution of Chairs

At present, 40 chairs are in operation at the Institute. Among the recently established Chairs are the Sulaiman Mutawa Chair Professorship and the three Chairs in Urban Transportation set up by the Ministry of Urban Development.

Outstanding Young Faculty Fellowships

During the period under review, 75 Outstanding Young Faculty fellowships have been instituted out of which 70 fellowships have been awarded.

Academic Activities

Our academic programmes cover a wide range of science and engineering disciplines. Intake to our Bachelor’s programs, which are most sought after, even on global scale, and for which the entry is through the Joint Entrance Examination, entry has steadily increased for the last few years and during the year 2010-2011 2,971 UG students were on roll. The enrolment of postgraduate students during the year 2010-2011 was 3,763. These figures include 1,165 women students. There were 39 foreign students from 10 countries pursuing postgraduate education at the Institute during the year 2010-11. In order to make IIT Delhi more international in character and to make better use of international intellectual resources, we are constantly working towards increasing the strength of international students and faculty in the campus.

A number of new steps have been taken to strengthen the teaching assistantship programs. The institute has a scheme for grant of partial financial assistance to Ph.D./ M.Tech./ M.Des./ M.S.(R)/ MBA students and post doctoral students (working

in various projects) for attending conferences outside the country. The Institute also has put together a new scheme this year to grant full travel assistance to every Ph.D. student of the Institute, for attending at least one international conference (to present his/ her research paper) during his/ her education at IIT Delhi. We believe that such an international exposure will play an important role in improving the quality of our doctoral education and research. The Institute has taken necessary steps in this regard and we hope to increase the strength of the foreign nationals in the coming years.

During the period under report a new academic ERP system was also deployed, for submission of online applications to our various PG programs, and, out of nearly 21,500 applications for admission received this year, approximately 15,000 applications were received online.

This year several new minor area programs have been designed with a view to offer a second area of specialization of their choice. A major curriculum is now underway and likely to come up for discussion in the Senate very soon.

A ten day Special Orientation Programme for entry level students was conducted for about 100 participants with the objective of enhancing their learning skills, english language and communication skills, inter-personal relationships and motivation. This programme was conducted with the help of Centre for Research and Education for Social Transformation (CREST), Calicut, Kerala. All those who participated in it appreciated the program. The SC Commission had a special word of praise for the Institute’s initiative to help students from weaker sections of society through this self-enrichment program. The Institute also conducted a four day special orientation program for all new entrants to the Institute, including a special three day program on value inculcation.

Reaching Out

Under the Summer Faculty Research Fellowship Program of the Institute organized under the CEP, 88 faculty fellows joined this year. They have been associated with a total of 40 faculty mentors. They spent about six weeks during the summer to work with IIT faculty mentors. The main objectives of this program are - to help inculcate research culture among the faculty members of educational institutions outside the IIT system, to provide orientation towards research through interaction with the mentors, other research students and exposure to the facilities and labs, with a view to eventually motivate them to undertake higher studies and research activities within or outside IIT Delhi.

It has been noted from a limited feedback collected of the previous two years that more than 26 faculty fellows who had joined this programme have registered for a Ph.D. in different institutions, which is encouraging.

HISTORYThe concept of the IITs was first introduced in a report in the year 1945 by Shri. N. M. Sircar, then member of Education on Vicerory’s Executive Council. Following his recommendations, the first Indian Institute of Technology was established in the year 1950 in Kharagpur. In his report, Shri Sircar had suggested that such Institutes should also be started in different parts of the country. The Government having accepted these recommendations of the Sircar Committee decided to establish more Institutes of Technology with the assistance of friendly countries who were prepared to help. The first offer of help came from USSR who agreed to collaborate in the establishment of an Institute through UNESCO at Bombay. This was followed by the Institutes of Technology at Madras, Kanpur and Delhi with collaborations with West Germany, USA and UK respectively. Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati was established in 1995 and the University of Roorkee was converted into an IIT in 2001.

The Institute was later declared an Institute of National Importance under the “Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963”, re-named as “Indian Institute of Technology Delhi”, and accorded the status of a deemed university.

Presently Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is one of the fifteen Institutes of excellence for higher education, research and development in science, engineering and technology and in management in India; the others are at Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Gandhinagar, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Mumbai, Patna, Punjab, Rajasthan and Roorkee.

STATUSIndian Institute of Technology Delhi is an autonomous statutory organisation of the Government of India functioning within the “Institutes of Technology Act, 1961” as amended by the “Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963”. It is accorded the status of a deemed university with powers to frame its own academic policy, to conduct its own examinations, and to award its own degrees. The fifteen Institutes of Technology are coordinated by an apex body known as IIT Council with the Minister for Human Resource Development of the Government of India as its Chairman.

IIT Delhi has 13 departments. Each department has its own administration structure with the Head of the Department (HoD) at the top of it. The HoD heads the department for a period of three years after which a new head is appointed. Each department offers a program (at the undergraduate or post-graduate level), some departments such as Mechanical Engineering Department, offer two or more undergraduate level programs and some departments collaborate with each other to offer a joint program. An example of the latter is the M.Tech in Optical Communications program which is offered by the Department of Physics and Department of Electrical Engineering. The DMS (Department of Management Studies), IIT Delhi came into existence in 1993 by an amendment to IIT(D) statutes. The department offers a two year full time MBA programme with focus on Management Systems, a two year full time MBA with focus on Telecommunication Systems Management and a three year part time MBA programme with focus on Technology Management.An inter-disciplinary center differs from a department in the fact that it deals with an overlap of two or more disciplines of engineering or science. Similar to the departments the centers also offer programs though they offer these courses only at the post-graduation level.

The Institute offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in a number of areas leading to the degrees of B.Tech./ M.Sc./ M.Tech./ M.S.(R)/ DIIT/ M.Des./ MBA and Ph.D. in Science, Engineering and Technology and Management. The primary objective of these teaching programmes is to offer instruction in applied sciences, engineering and management at a level comparable to the very best anywhere in the world. This is achieved through an undergraduate curriculum which places a strong emphasis on the understanding of fundamental principles rather than specialised knowledge, a postgraduate programme, distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach and emphasis on research.

Pedagogy

Teaching at the Institute incorporates a cohesive, contextual and nurturing environment for learning. The emphasis is on self-motivated learning by using information, experience and practice. The teaching methodology aims at using the inputs from core functional areas to inter-disciplinary issues and problem solving. Students undertake classroom and workshop assignments, conduct field observations, make presentations and participate in group discussions and seminars and are encouraged to develop industry linkages.

Evaluation

The academic year consists of two semesters and a summer term. The education system is organised around a credit system which ensures continuous evaluation of student’s performance and provides flexibility to choose courses of interest and to progress at an optimum pace suited to student’s ability or convenience. Each course is assigned certain number of credits depending upon the class contact hours. A minimum number of credits and CGPA are to be completed satisfactorily in order to qualify for the award of a degree.

The medium of instruction is English.

Curriculam Development

The Senate of the Institute is constantly engaged in reviewing and approving new courses to improve the curriculum. This year several new minor area programs have been designed with a view to offer a second area of specialization. A major Curriculum Review is now underway and likely to come up for discussion in the Senate very soon.

Under a new Academic Welfare Scheme introduced by the Institute this year for weak students, a special student advisor is identified in each department for students who need special help, at the beginning of each semester. Special extra classes are being conducted for such students and the student advisor closely monitors the attendance and performance of these students and also provides support to help improve their performance.

The undergradeuate and postgraduate programmes are managed by their respective Boards, as follows.

Admissions(April 1, 2010 - March 31, 2011)

Academic programmes at IITD cover a wide range of science and engineering disciplines. IITD’s Bachelor’s programs, which are the most sought after even on global scales, and for which the entry is through the Joint Entrance Examination, intake has steadily increased for the last few years and during the year 2010-2011, 2,971 UG students were on roll. The enrolment of postgraduate students during the year 2010-2011 was 3,763. These figures include 1,165 women students. There were 39 foreign students from 10 countries pursuing postgraduate education at the Institute during the year 2010-11. In order to make IIT Delhi more international in character and to make better use of international intellectual resources, administration is constantly working towards increasing the strength of international students and faculty in the campus.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, has emphasized the need to increase the admission of foreign nationals under the self-financing scheme. The Institute has taken necessary steps in this regard and we hope to increase the strength of the foreign nationals in the coming years.

On the recommendation of the Board of Postgraduate Studies & Research, the Senate has approved starting of a Ph.D. program under the National Resource Centre for Value Education in Engineering (NRCVEE) in the areas such as: Philosophy of Values, Professional Ethics, and Interaction of Science, Technology and Human Values.

For each semester, the students are graded on a scale of 0 to 10 based on their performance, by taking a weighted average of the grade points from all the courses, with their respective credit points. Each semester evaluation is done independently and then the weighted average over all semesters is used to calculate the cumulative grade point average (known as CGPA or CPI—Cumulative Performance Index). The following table gives the Discipline-wise break-up of CGPA for the two Academic Semesters:

Placement

A letter of invitation for campus interviews was sent to a large number of public or private sector organisations especially to those which visited the Institute for campus interviews during the last three years. A large number of them gave electronic copies of their job profiles which were made available to the students through the internal web server. This vigorous drive resulted in requisitions being obtained from industries from 380 companies for 474 profiles. Total 225 companies visited the campus as a result of which 719 students were placed making total jobs of 755 (some students got multiple jobs). The sector-wise distribution of profiles opened for placement are given in Table II.

Ground rules for placement evolved in consultation with the students and faculty members led to a just and equitable distribution of job opportunities amongst the student community.

The discipline wise break-up of on campus placement position is shown in Table III and IV.

Internship and Placement

As in the past the Training and Placement Unit continued to plan, organise and consolidate the Training and Placement activities for students. It actively interacted with various industrial, technical, management and research organisations in the country. The dual aim of establishing this rapport is to ensure that students are given adequate technical exposure/industrial training during their pre-final year and subsequently get employment in organisations which match their aspirations and objectives.

As in the previous years, this year too, web based placement services were provided using the internal T&P server. The students got all information on their desktops PCs, applied on-line and could see the progress of their application including the final results. The companies too were issued user name and password for accessing and short-listing CVs and uploading their presentations and files. This considerably reduced the conventional Pre-placement Talks on the campus.

This office also organised some pre-placement workshops, panel discussions and career counselling talks by distinguished persons from reputed technical, industrial, management and research organisations for the benefit of the graduating students. Some of the Institute alumni who are holding very senior positions in private and public sector organisations were also invited to share their personal experience with the student community of the Institute.

InternshipThe T&P unit with the active cooperation of Nucleus Committees of the departments was able to arrange more than the required number of seats for internships but also got 241 stipends and 79 other perquisites. Detailed instructions to students were also issued prior to the commencement of the training programme. A gist of data regarding the pre-final year students training is given in Table 1.

REVIEW OF EXISTING U.G./P.G. PROGRAMMES

The undergraduate curriculum undergoes a revision once in every 10 years. The previous revision was initiated by the Curriculum Review Committee in 1999 which came into effect with the 2003 entry students.

The undergraduate curriculum is thus due for revision in 2013. The Curriculum Review Committee has prepared a concept paper based on the feedback from all stake holders and extensive analysis of the current scenario and expected requirements. The Curriculum Review Committee has recognized certain challenges in the current revision process; such as (i) diverse career aspiration of the graduating students;

• increasing heterogeneity in student intake;

• the challenging nature of engineering education

• the objective to nurture and encourage good students and at the same time to provide suitable support to the academically challenged students;

• the necessity to attract the Institute’s own undergraduate to postgraduate and Ph.D. programmes.

Motivated by these challenges and some more observations, the CRC has prepared a conceptual framework of the proposed undergraduate programmes. The key theme has been to provide flexibility, time and space in the curriculum so that the students can get maximum benefit from their education at IIT Delhi.

The concept paper has been circulated amongst all Departments and Centres and the feedback has been sought.

U.G. PROGRAMMES

During the year, the following two new Minor Area programmes have been formulated:

· Atmospheric Sciences

· Biological Sciences

These minor areas have a few new courses. A new course ‘The Sociology of Religion’ has also been introduced in the year.

Under this scheme, students are required to submit the project proposals in association with identified Faculty of the Department/Centre to act as an Administrative Facilitator and a Guide. During the year 2011, 35 SURA projects have been selected to be undertaken by the undergraduate students during summer vacations of 2011.

To encourage technology development activities, the IRD Unit has launched a scheme entitled “Technology Development Project Initiation Award for Students (TDP-IAS)” for Undergraduate students (in their 3rd semester onwards) and postgraduate students (individually or as a team) of the Institute. During 2010-11, 7 projects have been selected under TDP- IAS scheme.

IRD Unit plays an important role by providing a one-time grant of up to Rupees One Lac to new faculty member who joins the Institute. This assistance is being given to the new faculty so that they can initiate new projects, which may subsequently be submitted to various funding agencies.

Assistantships/Fellowships are also provided by IRD to Ph.D. students during 5th year and to the final year students of Dual Degree M.Tech. and 5-year Integrated M.Tech. Programmes.

IRD Unit offers “IRD Fellow” positions for those Professors/CSO/CDE(SG) of the Institute who have actively engaged in research, development & teaching programmes of the Institute in the preceding years, to enable them to pursue active R&D in their field of specialization and participate in R&D programmes and development of new programmes at the Institute within their field of competence. The modalities and other terms and conditions of appointment of “IRD Fellow” are similar to those applicable to the Institute Emeritus Fellows.

Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT)(April 1, 2010 - March 31, 2011)

FITT is the Industrial Interface of IIT Delhi. It was established at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) as a Registered Society on 9th

July 1992. The mission of FITT is to be an effective Interface with the Industry to foster, promote and sustain commercialization of Science and Technology in the Institute for mutual benefits. For seventeen years now, FITT has been in a mission mode for effecting the interface between the Institute and the industry and has been devising innovative ways to create partnerships and linkages with business and community to enable knowledge transfer for common good. The team at FITT and IIT Delhi (IITD) academicians have been largely responsible for our successful outreach efforts including extensive S&T collaborations.

The role of FITT can be seen in fostering technology development, technical consultancy, collaborative R&D, professional HR development programs, industry-site visits, event participation, corporate membership etc. This is necessitated by the key agenda of the foundation to showcase and transfer the Institute “intellectual ware” to industry and also inject industrial relevance in teaching and research at IITD.

• During FY 2010-11, 71 technology development / transfer projects worth Rs. 872.47 Lakh have been contracted at FITT. Since early days, FITT secured the status as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) from GoI by virtue of its charter to implement, inter alia, industrial R&D projects. FITT manages the Institute’s IPRs.

• During the aforementioned FY, 64 IPR applications were processed, out of which 40 proposals were approved for filing and three technology licensing deals were closed. To augment its outreach and technology commercialization efforts, FITT has entered into numerous MoUs / Agreements with specialist outside agencies. Besides enabling regular industry academia meetings, FITT organized a number of visits by IITD faculty to industrial units in order to assess their R&D needs so as to initiate industry-relevant R&D programs at the Institute. FITT also instrumented the visits of several overseas companies/ delegations which helped in fruitful exchanges between the visiting delegates and the academic community of the Institute.

• During this period, 46 Professional Development Programs were organized, primarily for industry participants for a gross value of Rs. 145 Lacs.

• “Professional Candidate Registration” that has been initiated towards outreaching the academic courses at the Institute amongst the targeted segment. Through this program, suitably qualified professionals from Industry and research organizations can undertake relevant semester long course modules here at IIT Delhi and thus enhance their knowledge and skill set. 80 candidates participated in this program during the two semesters of academic year 2010-11.

• As an avenue towards techno-entrepreneurship, FITT has enabled the establishment and operation of a thriving technology business incubation unit (TBIU) on the campus. It is a flagship Institute program. 11 companies are presently resident at the TBIU. Out of 32 companies admitted so far in the incubator since its inception in the year 2000, twelve companies have started their commercial operation after completing their incubation at the Institute and are reported to be growing at a steady pace.

The TBIU companies are working in the technology domains of IT, Biotech, Engineering design, Cleantech etc. Of late, FITT is collaborating with Wallonia Trade and Investment Agency (AWEX) of Belgium towards internationalization of innovation led technology startups.

FITT has also been recognized as a TePP (Technopreneur Promotion Programme) Outreach Centre by DSIR (GoI) towards fostering technology entrepreneurship amongst individual innovators and startups. The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Govt. of India has also extended grants to FITT for promoting innovation amongst micro and small enterprises leveraging the knowledge/ resources at IIT Delhi. Seed support in the broad area of IT is also forthcoming under the Dept. of Information Technology (DIT) program – “Technology Incubation and Development of Entrepreneurs” (TIDE) scheme in operation at FITT. FITT is also a beneficiary of the grant assistance of Rs. 1.00 Cr. from the Technology Development Board (TDB) for the specific purpose of providing early stage financial support to startup units incubated at TBIU.

FITT has on its roll over 130 corporate members representing small/ medium/large scale industrial and R&D units. These members receive preferential treatment in matters of collaboration with Institute in addition to information and technical services that FITT provides through the Institute’s resources. FITT’s gamut of services and activities are:

TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS INCUBATIOR (TBI) PROGRAM

The Technology Business Incubator (TBI) has been in active operation in the Institute since the year 2000. The TBI is conceived, programmed and implemented by the Foundation for Innovative and Technology Transfer(FITT)-the Industry interface unit of the Institute. The objective of the TBIU is primarily to promote partnership with new technology entrepreneurs and start-up companies.

Within the existing policy guidelines of the Institute, the following categories of entrepreneurs are eligible for the incubation programme:

• An incubator nursery programme initiated by one or more members of academic staff, students or alumni of one of the Institute or a faculty-student led company.

• A start-up company formed by one or more first generation entrepreneurs.

• R&D division of existing Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

The ventures addressing developed product/services, leveraging on technologies having homology in the Institute are incubated by startup units-preferred for residency in the order listed above. The Standing Screening Committee in the Institute on pre-defined criteria appraises each incubation proposal and the business plan. Except the incubator nursery programmes where fund shortages during incubation progress are considered by the Committee to be met as loan/seed funding, other start-ups are expected to meet the fund requirements from own sources. Permitted activities in the TBIU include product development, product innovations, software testing, simulation and prototyping, pilot experimentation, training and similar other technology related work, in which there exist homology with the Institute.

TBIU Success Stories in 2010-2011

LeadInvent Technologies Pvt. Ltd. a TBIU spin-out was awarded the Asia Pacific Emerging Company of the Year Award 2011 by Bio-spectrum on 16 March, 2011. The company was choosen for the innovative work with high potential impact in the area of Tuberculosis. The award function was hosted by Biospectrum at Singapore and was attended by companies from Australia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and India.

Rural Portable Health Analyzer – ‘Accurate All’ that has caught the market interest and won appreciation from various quarters has resulted from the initial TePP supported innovation in the form of Portable Smart Blood Analyzer (multi-parametric analysis) that has an accuracy matching the fully automated analyzer. It is a rugged, self-calibrating and maintenance-free medical diagnostic. A huge impact in the market place is expected.

41ST CONVOCATION

64 w w w . i i t d . a c . i n

At the 41st Annual Convocation of the Institute, Honourable Vice President of India, Shri M. Hamid Ansari, was the Chief Guest to address and encourage the graduates receiving their degrees. Addressing the audiences at the forty-first convocation ceremony of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Delhi, Ansari said that, “It would seem that an essential concomitant of technological advance is the effort by society, including its professional segment of engineers and technologists, to ensure that it sustains and promotes social cohesiveness through necessary correctives.”

“Technological, scientific or digital divides in societies cannot further the larger human cause. Today’s professionals cannot function in isolation of the social and political context nor can they remain in ivory towers or professional silos. The graduating students today represent the young citizenry that constitutes the overwhelming majority of our population. It is for you to question if the technologies that you have imbibed and would develop in future are being co-opted in the massive social and political projects that our nation has undertaken since independence - of ameliorating the condition of each of our citizens so that they have access to opportunity to lead better lives and utilize their potential,” Hamid Ansari said.

Congratulating IIT students who had been conferred awards and medals at the occasion, the Vice President wished them success for their professional and personal endeavors.

– one of the B.Tech. graduates of the first batch of 1966 and Prof. Subhash Chander – one of the very first faculty members. Whereas, Mr. Mehra joyously recalled his stay at IIT Delhi, Prof. Subhash Chander shared his experiences and the challenges in the formative years at the Institute. Prof. Mary Ritter, Pro Rector, Imperial College London, who was specially invited for the inaugural functions, speaking on the occasion, highlighted the collaborations between IIT Delhi and Imperial College in the early years and the present. She said that there were similar challenges in front of both the institutions in the years to come. Shri R.P. Agrawal took the opportunity to thank the government for the generous funding made available to the IITs. He told that this was the time not only to celebrate but for the serious introspection also. He also talked about the ongoing plans of IIT Delhi regarding increasing the intake of Ph.D.s, strengthening of the postgraduate programmes, proactive collaboration with the industry and reforms in the entrance system so as to be able to select more girl students especially at the undergraduate level.

Shri Kapil Sibal while addressing the audience stated that there were many institutions which were fortunate to have visionary founders but not equally fortunate to have devoted and creative leaders. He said that IITs were lucky to have the both. He took the opportunity to salute the founding fathers and their successors for their contributions for creating the world class institutions. He also shared the vision of the government to open 14 innovation universities each in unique field of specialization.

Before speaking on the occasion, Smt. Patil inaugurated the Golden Jubilee year of the Institute by unveiling a Plaque. In her inaugural address, Smt. Patil mentioned that IIT Delhi was one of the front ranking educational institutions in the country. She emphasised that the future of India would derive strength from three sources: from a value-based system based on harmony, tolerance and selflessness; from youth; and from innovations and inventions and the educational institutions like the IITs are the crucible where all these three forces can interface with each other. She further added that the young students while studying science disciplines must inculcate a good value system. She went on saying that these were the occasions to acknowledge the success achieved by the alumni of the IITs in technology and business, both within our country and abroad. Praising the alumni of IITs, she said that such alumni of the IITs have done much to do the nation proud and emphasized that IITians, who are some of the best brains in our country, must be important partners and contributor to the journey of India to become a leader in the knowledge based society of the 21st century.

Golden Jubilee Celebrations(April 1, 2010 - March 31, 2011)

From its humble beginning as a College of Engineering in 1961, the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, entered the 50th glorious year of its academic life. The Golden Jubilee celebrations were formally launched on 16th August 2010 marking the beginning of a year in which the IITD family joined forces with all its stakeholders. It was a time to celebrate, to introspect, to consolidate and to plan for its future. This could not have been a better choice than the Hon’ble President of India and the Visitor of the Institute – Smt. Partibha Devisingh Patil to be the Chief Guest of the Inaugural Function of the Golden Jubilee Year celebrations on 16th August 2010. The Hon’ble Minister for Human Resource Development – Shri Kapil Sibal was the Guest of Honour and Sh. R.P. Agrawal, Chaiman, Board of Governors presided over the function.

The main inaugural programme started in the Dogra Hall with the National Anthem. The hall was full of distinguished guests, alumni, faculty, staff and students. Prof. Surendra Prasad, Director delivered his welcome address. He stated that the Golden Jubilee of any institution marked its coming of age, reaching a maturity in

its outlook, and creating a sense of confidence about its position and role in the fraternity. He further said that it was also a time for introspection and an occasion to plan for the future. He was very delighted to share

the news about Rs. 50 crore grant from Ministry of Information and Communication Technology for strengthening the nanotechnology program relating to non-silicon materials and also regarding the proposed contributions of Rs. 20 crore each by two of IIT Delhi Alumni – Mr. Patanjali Keswani and Mr. Anurag Dikshit to help build a new high-tech Central Research Facility and building state-of-the-art-facilities for newly set up School of Biological Sciences respectively. He also paid homage to the stalwarts who toiled hard and made great sacrifices to make this Institute what it is today.

After the Director’s address, mementoes were presented to the President and the Minister by the Chairman, BoG and the Director respectively. Shri Kapil Sibal released the timeline document depicting the golden moments of the Institute’s fifty years of existence. It was then time for the reminiscences by Mr. Lalit Mehra

Alongside, she also expressed concerns over the challenges of food, water and energy security, existing and new diseases, growing climate problems. Congratulating IIT alumni as well as students for having a number of market patents awaiting registration, she raised concerns over the global patent scenario where India is far behind countries like US and China in filing the patent applications. She also stressed that there should be efforts to build collaborations with institutions in different sectors of industry, agriculture and services, which in turn, must also be forthcoming in supporting new ideas and discoveries.

She further added that she was happy to learn that IIT Delhi has organized “Open House” over the past years, in which innovations of students of this campus are displayed. She also asked the IITians to do their part in serving the society that they are a part of and do their work as service to humankind. She was very happy to reproduce a statement made by Mr. Bill Gates where he had said that per capita, IITs have produced more millionaires than any other undergraduate institution and IITians across the world, indeed, are a very powerful group. Smt. Patil expressed that she was confident that IITians would always be ready to contribute to India’s growth and prosperity. At the end, Smt. Patil conveyed her best wishes to IIT Delhi for the years to come and she said “May the Golden Jubilee Year be an occasion to strengthen your resolution to achieve personal success and also to contribute to society and to the Nation.” Prof. Surendra Prasad thanked everyone to be a part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations. The programme in the Dogra Hall ended with National Anthem.

A copy of the Time Line document was given to each and every guest on the exit. A lunch was also arranged for everyone present. After lunch, the alumni, ex-faculty and ex-staff members visited their respective departments. A seminar programme was organized in the Dogra Hall. The Director made a brief presentation on IIT Delhi. Mrs. Dogra (wife of the founder Director Prof. R.N. Dogra), Prof Mary Ritter, Prof. M.S. Sodha (Former Professor of Physics & Former Deputy Director), Prof. R.C. Malhotra (Former Professor of Applied Mechanics & Former Deputy Director) and Mr. Hari S. Bhartiya (Distinguished Alumnus & President CII) were the eminent speakers on this occasion.

After the programme, everyone enjoyed the high tea and then assembled in the Seminar Hall to enjoy the classical music by Pt. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Creator of the Mohan Veena and the winner of the Grammy Award accompanied by Pt. Ram Kumar Mishra on Tabla. The Institute’s

Faculty Awards/ Recognitions(April 1, 2010 - March 31, 2011)

It is no cliché to say that the quality of an academic institution largely depends on its faculty. Our faculty is one of the finest in the country and is recognised internationally for their quality of research, teaching and curriculum development. They also contribute greatly for the development of the nation by being associated with a large number of decision making bodies, providing crucial guidance and advice on policy matters and technical issues. Many of our faculty members serve on the editorial Boards of reputed journals, peer-review papers for publications, serve on committees for recruitment of professionals, and are on the Boards of many institutions and organizations.

Searching and recruitment of bright faculty is one of our most important missions, since therein lies the future of the Institute. Our Board of Governors is seized of this issue, and has played a very positive and constructive role in approving policies, which empower the faculty to deliver their best in both teaching and research. On our part, we are trying to reach out to the potential faculty members through a variety of means, including round-the-year search and recruitment and on-line submission and processing of applications.

During the period under report, international bibliographic databases have indexed 1958 research articles published by the faculty members and researchers of the Institute in international journals including 1340 articles indexed in Scopus, an international indexing service in Science & Technology and Social Sciences. The faculty members have also presented a similar number of papers in national and international conferences. Besides, they have also published many books and conducted several continuing education programmes. The Institute supported participation of 98 faculty members to international conferences and 107 national conferences. Many more participated with financial support from sponsored projects, and other funding agencies. The Institute provides seed research funding to the new faculty upon joining the Institute ranging from Rs. 5 lakhs to Rs. 10.00 lakhs (or more when necessary).

Student Activities(April 1, 2010 - March 31, 2011)

Considerable efforts are made to see that students lead a balanced campus life in harmony with their teachers and fellow students. To ensure that freshers settle down in their new surroundings comfortably, a Freshers’ Orientation Programme was organized at the beginning of the academic session.

Counselling Service provides counselling to students on adjustment problems or for the problems arising from financial hardship, and emotional/psychological problems affecting academic pursuits.

Outside the classrooms, facilities for a variety of cocurricular activities, sports, games, student publication etc. are provided for the overall growth and development of students’ potentialities and initiative with an emphasis on responsible student leadership.

The pace and mode of student life on the campus is planned and implemented by the following student bodies:

1. Students Affairs Council (SAC) and its five Boards, i.e.,

(a) Board for Hostel Management (BHM)

(b) Board for Recreational & Creative Activities (BRCA)

(c) Board for Sports Activities (BSA)

(d) Board for Student Publications (BSP)

(e) Board for Student Welfare (BSW)

2. National Service Scheme (NSS)

3. National Cadet Corps (NCC)

4. National Sports Organization (NSO)

5. Student Counselling Service (SCS)

6. Student-Teacher Interaction Committee (STIC)

7. Departmental Professional Societies.

1. STUDENT AFFAIRS COUNCIL (SAC)

The Students Affairs Council has been quite active. Regular meetings

took place between the various representatives of SAC, to ensure that all facts of student issues were discussed. SAC representatives also interacted with student member of senate and other SAC committees to ensure wider participation of students in the affairs of the institute. Many student related issues were discussed. Maintenance problems of hostels and the institute, the no dues process for students, library and computer related issues, as well as safety and security issues were also resolved . Openness in the decision making process of various boards and improvements in the student election process were other matters that were discussed. Another important issue that was raised at SAC was the need for improved student teacher interaction. A student Mentorship Programme to provide consulling of first year students was enhanced. SAC also joined hands with BSW to put in place a transportation system to aid student travel to railway and bus stations. The two standing committees of the SAC, namely the Coordination Committee and the Executive Committee contributed as usual in tackling of various issues referred to them.

a. Board for Hostel Management (BHM)

The Board for Hostel Management is an important Board in the SAC to decide the students issues directly.

There are ten hostels for boys, six with a capacity in the range of 400-450, one with a capacity of 1000 and the others in the range 300-350 each; two hostels for girls students with a capacity of about 500 each. In addition, there is also very limited accomodation for married students. Each hostel has a House Working Committee which decides the pace and pattern of its life. The Board for Hostel Management, with the Dean of Students as the ex-officio president, coordinates the working of all hostels. The Dean of Students is the head of hostel organization. He is assisted in his administrative responsibilities by the Associate Dean of Students and the Deputy Registrar (Student Affairs). The BHM has representation from all the hostel and takes decisions on all problems of common interest. The warden is the administrative head of each hostel. He/She is a faculty member of the Institute. The House Working Committee of each hostel is chaired by the House Master who is a professor of the Institute. The committee consists of the Warden, the House Secretary, the Mess Secretary, the Sports Secretary, the Cultural Secretary, the Maintenance Secretary, and the representatives from all classes.

Right from the beginning of this academic year, hostel maintenance problems were undertaken. A number of meetings with the Dean of Students, wardens, hostel functionaries, Institute Engineer and engineering staff were held. For proper implementation of maintenance schedules, long-term and short-term problems were identified and engineering staff visits to each hostel for monitoring work. Special efforts were made towards the cleaning of common areas.

Security problems in each hostel were reviewed and detail discussion with the wardens, students and security personnel’s was held.

Considerable efforts were made for providing accommodation to all students.

Continuing dialogue between the mess staff, student representatives

and authorities has resulted in better work environment. Five BHM employees were rewarded by special awards for the hard work and excellent services rendered to the Organization. This Award was given on Independence Day during the flag hoisting function. This has been a morale booster for the workers. Regular meetings with the staff improved their punctuality.

This year was devoted to improve the food quality in hostel mess. Regular meetings with Dean of Student, Hostel Representatives and Mess Supervisors have been held for the same purpose . Modifications assured for Scheme (MAO) is being implemented for BHM staff.

A BHM dinner was organized during the Student’s Week. Each hostel immaculately arranged its counters at a central place. Faculty and students attended with enthusiasm. The cultural programme was a big attraction for the evening. The Kailash and Kumaon Hostel was given BHM trophy and BHC trophy to Kumaon Hostel for their excellent outstanding work.

BHM also arranged the stay and messing for all the delegates of Rendezvous’ 2009 and TRYST’ 2010 events very successfully.

To simplify the recovery of dues from students, a regular monitoring system has been introduced involving simplified system of payment, by which the students sign a declaration form and the amount is automatically deducted from their bank account, avoiding any

personal bank transaction on this account. Use of computers for maintenance of hostel accounts has been in existence from past six years and the staff working in the hostels was encouraged to undergo training in the use of PCs.

Each Hostel was in the forefront in initiating and hosting the celebration on the independence Day and the Republic Day functions at the Institute level.

Hostel Mess Secretaries put in considerable efforts in controlling food wastage and thus were able to keep a check and balance of galloping mess bills. By proper coordination between the students and the wardens, the supply system was improved and new supplies were identified and added.

There were surprise checks by canteen cells for institute canteens. Manopoly of supplies has been reduced by attaching 2-3 suppliers to each hostel.

A special cuisine was designed & provided for the participants of the Inter IIT Sports Meet 2010. The BHM also provided accomodation to all participants of the Students & Staff Inter IIT Sports Meet held in December 2010.

b. Board for Recreational & Creative Activities (BRCA)

The Board for Recreational and Creative Activities (BRCA) was founded with the aim to provide students with an opportunity to develop their skills and discover their talent in the field of music, dramatics, debating, quizzing and other such activities. During the period under report,BRCAorganizedanumberofeventsincludingRENDEZVOUS2010 and Student’s Week . Rendezvous featured a wide variety of events including inter college competitions such as choreography, Indian and Western music,group dance competition quizzes and debates (both in Hindi and English), and several professional cultural events including Hasya Kavi Sammelan, a Classical Music concert and professional play. Student’s week, on the other hand, was an in house festival with rich but sober tone, and focused on the Indian Performing Arts and creative and recreational activities. Various

units of BRCA organized all the year round inter-hostel and open competitive events to promote talent among the students. They were also instrumental in organizing various activities like International Parliamentary debate, and ‘Distortionaire’ by the music club. I.I.T. Delhi also very actively participated in inter college festivals within and outside Delhi.
