A grand-gala Golden Jubilee initiative intended to be a forum for the best brains from diverse fields to congregate at Shaastra and express their opinions on technology and the contribution of the IITs to our nation over the course of the last half a century. As India stands on the cusp of being a global super-power, we look at the potential contribution that the IITs can make towards this transformation and the world on a larger scale. The event will act as a platform for noted personalities to share their points of view on the same. We are inviting corporate stalwarts, leading academicians and eminent politicians to debate comprehensively on this occasion. It will be held in conjunction with the Inauguration ceremony and will be followed by a formal banquet. The event is envisaged as an exemplary and revolutionary step to commemorate the Golden Jubilee celebration.
