Administrators , Faculty , Institute Events

Seen in the image from the left: Mrs. Shanti Sengupto (wife of the Director), Mrs. Parvatham Natarajan (wife of Mr. R. Natarajan) with her elder daughter Priya, Mr. R. Natarajan (first Registrar) and Dr. A. L. Mudaliar (Chairman, Board of Governors).


Mr. R. Natarajan’s term ended in 1965 after spending five and a half years at the Institute. His involvement with IIT Madras went beyond fulfilling his administrative duties. The relationships he maintained with the staff and students were warm and friendly. He was known to have handled any problem presented to him with a lively personal concern. He brought infectious enthusiasm to bear on the organization of all the Gymkhana activities. He was gifted with a sense of humour and an admirable command over the English language. Dr. A. L. Mudaliar voiced his admiration for these two qualities on many an Institute Annual Day function. A farewell ceremony was organised in his honour in April 1965.
