The IIT Madras Contingent at the Eighth Inter-IIT Sports Meet, 1970
Sports , Institute Events
IIT Madras hosted the Eighth Inter-IIT Sports Meet in 1970. The students appear to be dressed in formals, which is not the case today, where sports uniforms have replaced the earlier trend. The IIT Madras team went on to win the General Championship in this year. There is a detailed report of the sports meet in the February 1971 edition of the student run magazine Campastimes.

C. Gourishankar (1936-2002). A geologist by qualification, Gourishankar started his career as a photographer after working for many years with the Geological Survey of India. In everything that he did, Gourishankar strove to achieve flawlessness and impeccable quality. Thus his photography too was characterised by this drive for perfection. Every photograph that Gourishankar took was meticulously planned and shot and printed with diligence and patience.
