In 1991, IIT Madras held a special convocation to confer the degree of Doctor of Science (honoris causa) on the President of the Federal Republic of Germany Dr. Richard von Weizsäcker. Here, he is seen watering a sapling on campus.
We are not sure where exactly the sapling was planted.
As seen in the image, Ms. Maneka Gandhi (Union Minister of State [Independent Charge], Environment and Forests, wearing a black sari), Dr. M. S. Swaminathan (Chairman, Board of Governors, standing third from the right) and Mrs. Marianne von Weizsäcker (wearing a hat).
