This photograph was taken at the seminar organized by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) at IIT Madras. The agenda of the seminar was to “exchange ideas for a possible improvement of the future programmes of the service” and also to make the former scholarship holders aware of the progress in Science and Technology in Germany.
There is a report of Prof. Sampath’s speech in German News Weekly, 27 January 1968. According to the report, Prof. Sampath mentioned that IIT Madras “was a good example of what could be achieved by taking the dominant features of the educational philosophy and the modus operandi of a scientifically advanced country…” Prof. Sampath also thanked the Federal Republic of Germany, the DAAD and the Germans who helped develop IIT Madras.
