Class of 1980

Dear Members of the IIT Delhi Cohort Of’75 | Class of 1980,

Greetings On behalf of the Office of Alumni Relations, IIT Delhi and the IIT Delhi Endowment Fund!

A Special fund corpus has been created by the 1980 Batch, to contribute towards establishing a prestigious institute chair. Endowed Chair positions support our faculty towards work in research and development, promoting excellence and bringing in the most advanced pedagogy in teaching. While we finalize the domain & details for administration of the chair, we are initiating the process of fundraise on occasion of the Ruby80 Reunion.

The Batch Fund Corpus is 1,50,00,000 and The Corpus For The Chair is INR 1,05,00,000, which will be invested and only interest accrued will be utilized for the faculty. The balance would be utilized for other initiatives to support academic excellence & future of the institute.

This is a momentous occasion for the entire 1980 batch (Cohort Of ’75) as we preserve the legacy of the batch through a prestigious chair at our alma mater, IIT Delhi.
