Administrators , Inaugurations , Visiting VIPs

This photograph was taken during the inauguration of the Computer Centre in 1973. The venue can be determined by the mural, which is partly visible behind the chairs. IBM had printed a large mural of the Computer Centre at IIT Madras with the newly installed IBM 370 computer system on Prof. Mahabala’s request. It was placed behind the stage during the inauguration. 

In his speech at the inauguration, Prof. K. A. V. Pandalai (Director) revealed that a “Special Brochure” about the computer system was released by Dr. Eppler. The brochure contained facts about the IBM 370 and also the important features of the Indo-German Agreements.
