The Eighth Inter-IIT Sports Meet took place in IIT Madras from 28-31 December. The hosts won the championship with a considerably large margin of points. It was IIT Madras’ first ever win at the Meet. This event has been recorded in the February 1971 issue of the student-run campus magazine Campastimes. The report on the event confirms that there was an impressive march-past of the contingents from all the IITs on this day.

Seen in the photograph are, Prof. A. Ramachandran (Director, extreme left), Mr. Navzer Mehta (General Secretary) and Mr. H. V. R. Iengar (Chairman, Board of Governors, third from left).
