A student takes a free throw attempt during a basketball match, 1999
Taken during the 35th Inter-IIT Sports Meet, this image depicts a match being played between two teams at the Open Air Theatre (OAT). The students in the image are yet to be identified.
The OAT was used for multiple purposes. To quote a news report from The Hindu, "Highlighting the importance of the then newly-constructed OAT, IIT-M's first director, Prof B Sengupto, was quoted as saying, "The stage is for group acting, folk dances, acrobatics, and games like basketball, volleyball, badminton and tennis. It has been provided with illumination for conducting these games at night."
