Director presents gifts to the distinguished German guests, 1988

Administrators , Visiting VIPs

In 1988, several German political figures and diplomats visited IIT Madras. The reason for this visit was to officially hand over the Siemens 7580-E Computer System to IIT Madras. Although the system arrived with 80 terminals in 1987, the official ceremony was held only in March 1988.

Some of the guests included Dr. Konrad Seitz (Ambassador, Federal Republic of Germany, right) and Mr. Hans Klein (Minister for Economic Co-operation, Federal Republic of Germany, second from right). Prof. L. S. Srinath (DIrector of IIT Madras) is seen at the extreme left in the photograph.
