On 18 August 1951, the first Indian Institute of Technology was inaugurated at Kharagpur. Seventy-five years later, the IIT system has grown to 23 campuses, contributing to India’s progress across science, technology, industry and entrepreneurship.
Some milestones deserve more than a passing mention. They deserve a gathering.
