His Excellency Baron Dietrich von Mirbach at IIT Madras, 1967

Academic Facilities , Administrators , Faculty

During his visit, Baron von Mirbach visited the various departments of the Institute. He visited IIT Madras a few months after the signing of the Second Indo-German agreement which aimed to establish 5 laboratories and complete the 20 laboratories which were in progress. The agreement was an effort to further the development of IIT Madras through a collaboration between India and Germany. A number of German professors were a part of IIT Madras by the time the second agreement was signed.

This photograph was most likely taken at an Electrical Engineering Laboratory. This assumption has been made on the basis that there are two Electrical Engineering faculty in the photograph.

From left, Prof. V. G. K. Murti (Electrical Engineering Department), Mr. Baron Von Mirbach (Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany) and Prof. Venugopal (Electrical Engineering Department).
