Alakananda Hostel was inaugurated by Sardarni Sant Sev Ujjal Singh by the cutting of a ribbon. Sardar Ujjal Singh (Governor of Madras) was the chief guest at the event. There was also tree planting by Prof. B. Sengupto (Director), Mrs. Shanti Sengupto (the director’s wife) and Sardarni Sant Sev Ujjal Singh to mark the inauguration of Alakananda Hostel, followed by a speech by the Director. The April 1966 issue of Campastimes informs us that there was tea next, after which the Governor gave a speech and students were introduced to him, possibly by the Alakananda Warden Mr. S. S. Mani. Mr. Mani gave a speech at the end of the programme. 

Prof. B. Sengupto (Director) can also be seen in the photograph, between the gubernatorial couple.
