The photograph was taken during the 20th convocation day that was held in the newly built Student Activities Centre (SAC). The Student Activities Centre was built to host events, lectures and even indoor sports. It was an alternative to the Open Air Theatre (OAT) which proved to be a problem during the rains.
Seen in the photograph are, Mr. Giani Zail Singh (President of India and chief guest, fourth from right), Prof. Surjit Singh, (Chemistry Department, fifth from right), Dr. H. V. Hande (Minister of Health, wearing a black shirt), Mr. A. Sivasailam (Chairman, Board of Governors of IIT Madras, extreme left) and Mrs. Sheila Kaul (Union Minister for Education and Culture, lighting the kuthu vilakku – the lamp). Also seen are Dr. Nazir Ahmad (Librarian, second from right) and Prof. P. Sankaran (Electrical Engineering Department, far right).
