Director's Gallery

Prof. N. V. Chandrasekhara Swamy was from the Department of Applied Mechanics. Prof. Swamy was the seventh Director of IIT Madras. He was deeply involved in the various activities on campus, including acting in a play during the 1964 Inter-IIT Sports Meet. It appears that this theatrical affiliation was evident in Prof. Swamy’s classes where students describe him as an energetic person with a great sense of humour. He strove to implement the German method of efficiency and hard work, which he had experienced first hand on his visit to Germany in 1968. Prof. Swamy served as Dean at S-VYASA University (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana) in Bangalore following his tenure at IIT Madras.
