In 1967, Independence Day was celebrated with a special parade alongside the No.2 Madras Mixed Coy. The Director of IIT Madras Prof. Sengupto took the salute and addressed the cadets. Prof. Sengupto was the first Director of IIT Madras. He joined as Director in 1959 and served his tenure until the end of 1967. It is likely that the event took place near the NCC building, which is visible in the photograph.
The NCC building which is seen in the photograph was inaugurated by Major General Virendra Singh (Director-General, NCC) in 1965. It currently houses the JEE/GATE office. (As of September 2021).
