R. Natarajan
Prof. Ramamurthy Natarajan took over as eighth Director of IIT Madras in the 1995. In 2001 he completed his tenure in this post and subsequently retired from the Institute. During his directorship, he did a lot for the Institute’s ranking in the global list of high quality education institutions. He was a stickler for quality and benchmarking and even formed a committee to look into the reasons as to why IIT Madras wasn’t no.1 in the global rankings. He introduced the ‘ISO 9000’, a set of international standards of quality management and quality assurance development, in the Institution and saw to it that it was adhered to. He also conceived a strategic plan for the Institution with the involvement of the faculty members and ensured that it was implemented.
