This photograph was taken during the Seventh Institute Day. The Annual Number “Institute Magazine” was released on Institute Days in the 1960s. It contained poems, articles and photographs contributed by the IIT Madras students, staff and faculty. They also provided reports from departments, the Gymkhana and other organisations from the Institute.
