Institute Events

Seen in the image from the left: Mrs. Parvatham Natarajan (wife of Mr. R. Natarajan) and Mrs. Rouve.

 
Mr. R. Natarajan’s (First Registrar) term ended in 1965 after spending five and a half years at the Institute. His involvement with IIT Madras went well beyond fulfilling his administrative/academic duties. The relationships he maintained with the staff and students were warm and friendly. He was known to have handled any problem presented to him with a lively personal concern. He brought infectious enthusiasm to bear on the organization of all the Gymkhana activities- be it in the sports fields or in the literary and cultural areas. His unique personality was cherished by all who he encountered and is without a question the most unforgettable Registrar IIT Madras has had to this day. A farewell party was organised in his honour in April 1965.
