Prof. B. Sengupto addressing cadets at NCC camp, 1965

Administrators , Campus Buildings , Students

The NCC camp was held in December at Narmada Hostel. This photograph appears to have been taken in the hostel zone although we cannot determine if it was specifically in Narmada Hostel. It was a big year for NCC, with the opening of the new NCC building to house the various NCC units on 14 December 1965.

According to ‘Red Letter Days’, an article written by Vijay G. published in the Annual Number of IIT Madras, 1965, the camp lasted for 14 days. He writes, “The camp ended on the 1st of January. The 18 years I have lived on the face of this Earth, I have never received a better New Year Greetings. I reached home, intact.”

Apart from Prof. B. Sengupto (Director of IIT Madras, addressing the cadets), we could not identify anyone else. Any inputs are welcome.
