Administrators , Inaugurations , Institute Events
NCC Day was on 14 December 1965, it was the same day that the NCC building was inaugurated by Major General Virendra Singh (Director-General, NCC). The dates have been confirmed by the Annual Number of IIT Madras, 1965-66. Singh had also come to IIT Madras as chief guest during NCC Day on 4 December 1963.
Prof. B. Sengupto (Director of IIT Madras) is seen in the background between the two officers who are wearing a white uniform. It is likely that the officer wearing the white uniform to Prof. Sengupto’s left hand side is Commodore Jimmy D. Mody (Director of NCC, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry).
An identical photograph can be found in the Gourishankar Collection in Album 0231 under the ID: 001/0231/IMG_0612
