As informed in the past issues, the IT (Amendment) 2010 Bill has been passed by Lok Sabha on March 24. Now we have to wait till it is passed in Rajya Sabha for attaining IIT status for our institute.
The Institutes of Technology (Amendment) 2011 Bill is meant for converting IT-BHU to IIT-BHU and giving official status of IITs to the 8 new IITs. The next session of Parliament and Rajya Sabha will be held during August 1 to September 8.
We have to wait a little more to see our institute as an IIT. We the alumni, teachers, students, parents of students and many well-wishers should not be complacent at this stage as we all have still to overcome the hurdles and the opposition in this journey.

BHU professor found dead in campus home
http://in.news.yahoo.com/bhu-professor-found-dead-campus-home-162939210.html
By Indo Asian News Service | IANS – Tue, Jul 19, 2011
Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), July 19 (IANS) A professor of the prominent Banaras Hindu University (BHU) here was found dead in his official residence on the campus Tuesday, police said.
N. Prasad was associated with the department of metallurgical engineering of the BHU's Institute of Technology.
'As of now, nothing can be said about the reason behind the death. The body has been sent for post-mortem that would reveal the exact cause of the death,' Deputy Superintendent of Police Vishal Pandey told reporters in Varanasi, some 300 km from Lucknow.
According to police, Prasad used to live alone at his residence. His family is in Mumbai.
BHU authorities Tuesday contacted the police after Prasad did not respond to phone calls or the door bell.

“Professor NISHTALA PRASAD of Metallurgy Department of IT - BHU, Varanasi, India is NO MORE. He accidentally slipped in the bathroom and expired due to excessive bleeding. This could be noticed only yesterday when Professor GVS Sastry (Head, Metallurgy Department) wanted some signatures from him and sent someone to Prasad's residence. This is indeed very sad news.
Prof. Prasad was very entertaining, jovial, cheerful and an easy going person - an excellent flute player and a cricketer of high quality. Prof. Prasad was one of the doctoral students of Professor P Rama Rao and had worked on Low Stress Creep of Zirconium and Zircalloy, materials that are of extreme importance to Nuclear Field. He was the only son of Late Dr. N Narasimhan, Renowned radio physicist of BARC and DRDO's first RAC Chairman.
We join the family and Prasad's Wife - Smt. N. Vijayalakshmi in this sad hour and Pray to God to rest Prasad's soul in peace.

I am extremely sad reading this news today. Dr. Prasad was an extremelely vibrant personality, full of energy and passion, a very thorough and dedicated teacher and a gem of a human being . I am privileged to be taught under his guidance. May God rest his soul in peace and my sincere condolences to Dr. Prasad's family members in this hour of grief.
Regards,
Kapil, '94 Meta
Dr. Prasad was a gem of a person. He helped us with our prject work in Central School, BHU where we did some fracture studies. I thoroughly enjoyed the cricket discussions I had with him from time to time. Top guy! Will be missed much!
August 25, 2011 11:58 PMIt is really sad. He was a very affable person. He always participated in all student activities.
He joined BHU from IIT-K when we were in 2nd or 3rd year.
I remember the days when he would join the cricket practice on the IT cricket ground.
He was also an excellent singer. His favorite was " Saranga teri yad mey ". many a time I have cajoled him into singing the song and he would oblige.
May his soul rest in peace.
