In the collections of the Heritage Centre are photos showing Mr. M. C. Changla’s (Union Minister for Education, New Delhi) during two visits to IIT Madras. The first occasion was as the chief guest of 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 contribution towards the National Defence fund was presented to him by the Institution. As mentioned in the third convocation brochure (1966), Mr. Chagla was also shown research reports, presumably before the commencement of the event, which he discussed with the Director, Prof. B. Sengupto.
