This photograph was taken during the Tenth Institute Day of IIT Madras. We are not sure about the contents of the envelope Prof. Ramachandran is holding but we do know that prizes and awards were distributed to students, staff and faculty of the Institute for their extra-curricular contributions to IIT Madras. It is likely that the envelope contains one of the prizes.

From left, Mr. H. V. R. Iengar (Chairman, Board of Governors, chief guest), Prof. A. Ramachandran (Director), Prof. S. Sampath (Deputy Director) and Mr. K. S. Loganathan (Gymkhana General Secretary).
