Administrators , Campus Buildings , Inaugurations
According to the April 1966 edition of Campastimes, the programme started with the cutting of a ribbon by Sardarni Sant Sev Ujjal Singh, wife of chief guest Sardar Ujjal Singh, followed by tree planting. From the photographs available, we can guess that at least four trees were planted in the hostel by the chief guest Sardar Ujjal Singh (Governor of Madras), Prof. B. Sengupto (Director), Mrs. Shanti Sengupto (the Director’s wife) and Sardarni Sant Sev Ujjal Singh. Tree planting was followed by the Director’s speech.
