Administrators , Visiting VIPs
An Indo-German agreement was signed in July 1986 under which a Siemens 7580-E computer was to be given to IIT Madras by the Federal Republic of Germany. In a Campastimes interview, we learn that the Indian Government had to pay around 18% of the amount for the computer, while the Federal Republic of Germany paid the rest. This photograph was taken during the official ceremony where the Siemens 7580-E computer system was handed to IIT Madras.
Seen in the photograph, Mrs. Pushpa Srinath, Prof. L. S. Srinath (Director), Mr. Hans Klein (Minister for Economic Co-operation, Federal Republic of Germany), Mrs. Eva Seitz and Dr. Konrad Seitz (Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany). Prof. Srinath was the sixth Director of IIT Madras.
