Performers in action at the Eighth Institute Day, 1967

Cultural Events , Institute Events , Student Activities

It was common for male performers to don the roles of female characters in the early years of the institute owing to the fact that female students were not a part of the institute. 

Dances, magic shows, plays, music performances and various cultural activities were a hallmark of Institute Day in the 1960s. It was a community event which brought together students, professors and staff members of IIT, children from Vanavani School, campus children and other residents of the campus. 
 
The performers in the photograph are yet to be identified.
