Mr. Navzer Mehta (General Secretary) was from the 1971 B. Tech. Aeronautical Engineering batch.

A Campastimes report about the event humorously reports “The Vote of Thanks was delivered by the General Secretary Shri Navzer Mehta, who, incidentally, was awarded an honorary professorship with compliments from the announcer’s pit.” In yet another Campastimes report by Prasad, the writer lauds Mehta’s role in making the Inter-IIT Sports Meet a “roaring success”.

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.
