Mr. M. C. Chagla (Union Minister for Education, New Delhi) visited IIT Madras twice. The first occasion was as chief guest for the second convocation of the Institute. He returned to IIT Madras a little more than a year later on 17th June, 1966. A formal event was held on the occasion of his visit to the Institute. During the event speeches were made and a cheque towards the National Defence Fund was presented to him by the Institute. He was also shown research reports, presumably before the commencement of the event, which he discussed with the Director, Prof. B. Sengupto.
