His Excellency Baron Dietrich von Mirbach at IIT Madras, 1967

Academic Facilities , Administrators , Faculty

This photograph was probably taken in a Civil Engineering Laboratory owing to the fact that the Ambassador appears to be looking at a Hydraulics related experiment and also because Prof. Rouve is from the Department of Civil Engineering.

Baron von Mirbach visited IIT Madras a few months after the Second Indo-German agreement was signed in New Delhi. The signing of the agreement kicked off the establishment of 5 laboratories. It also made provisions to complete the 20 laboratories which were in progress. The agreement was an effort to further the development of IIT Madras through a collaboration between India and Germany.

From left, Prof. G. Rouve (Civil Engineering Department), Mr. C. V. Sethunathan (Registrar) and Mr. Baron von Mirbach (Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany).
