The Senate met several times in a year. The Annual Report of IIT Madras, 1966 mentions that The Senate met seven times during the year, while the Annual Report of IIT Madras, 1967 notes that The Senate met six times during the year.

Prof. B. Sengupto served as Director until 10 December 1967, so the photograph is likely to be from a Senate session prior to this date, since he is present at the meeting.

C. Gourishankar (1936-2002). A geologist by qualification, Gourishankar started his career as a photographer after working for many years with the Geological Survey of India. In everything that he did, Gourishankar strove to achieve flawlessness and impeccable quality. Thus his photography too was characterised by this drive for perfection. Every photograph that Gourishankar took was meticulously planned and shot and printed with diligence and patience. Gourishankar carried out most of the official photography at IIT Madras in the 1960s.
