Cultural Events , Institute Events , Student Activities

This photograph was taken during the Eighth Institute Day. In the April 1967 edition of Campastimes, the front page article talks about the performance, “The ‘Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam’ did not do justice to Firadusi, though the setting was fabulous.”

Dances, magic shows, plays, music performances and various cultural activities were a hallmark of Institute Day in the 1960s. It was a community event which brought together students, professors and staff members of IIT, children from Vanavani School, campus children and other residents of the campus.
