Campaign for IIT status in published media
Chronicle Editor @ Mar 10, 2008
articles.jpgOur struggle for getting an IIT status and due recognition was helped by several people, including our alumni as well as other noted writers, who helped create mass awareness about this sensitive issue. These well-informed and well-documented articles in national news media helped form informed opinion among decision makers, noted faculty of reputed technical institutes and common mass alike. Several of these articles have been considered as classic articles and found well acceptance and used as reference for Google Search, used as citations, posted on Wikipedia and debated across the country.
