Institute Events , Visiting VIPs

We think the year given in the label (1966) is wrong because the Annual Report of 1965-66 mentions that the two gentlemen visited the Institute in December 1965. This has also been confirmed with a Campastimes report from the February 1966 issue of the magazine.

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. Gourishankar carried out most of the official photography at IIT Madras in the 1960s.
