At present, our institute is at the critical moment. Past two months had been very eventful for us. Our entire IT-BHU community, including students, faculty and alumni has worked together towards the goal of making our institute an IIT.
The Report section of this issue contains some positive news for the conversion of our institute to IIT.
We have made some progress on the conversion front. There is greater political and mass awareness about our issue, which was captured by the news media. Both the candidates from
There are some issues which are yet to be resolved. The major one is the university’s insistence on retaining control over institute. This may hit a road block as all IITs are autonomous and independent. If necessary, the matter should be referred back to Executive Council of BHU for further resolution.
We hope that HRD ministry and BHU administration will resolve the issue in a manner acceptable to all parties.

We are pleased to state that recently we have received positive feedback from our readers, including forwarding of news and articles. In fact over 2/3rd of the news and articles we publish are forwarded by our readers. So far we have published almost all the news and articles forwarded to us, since our magazine belongs to our entire community.
At the same time, we are also struggling to maintain our deadline of publishing chronicle by the end of each month. It takes few days to research the forwarded news and articles, prepare a draft for comment, send it 2-3 times to the concerned party for comments and approval and finally upload on server. Hence we request our readers to forward all news and articles to us as early as possible, preferably before 25th of the month of publication. We may not able to do justice on the feed provided after 25th, and it will be marked for publishing for the next month’s issue. Of course, all obituaries, late breaking news, etc, can be considered even on the last date prior to publishing.
