Steve Ballmer visits IIT Delhi
The name ‘Indian Institute of Technology’ has always stood forward in world scenario as a brand that produces one of the best brains all over the globe. For a student it is a privilege in itself to study at an IIT whatever be his nature of study. And more importantly IIT Delhi stands out further in limelight, being the IIT in the National Capital.
IIT Delhi is not just about rigorous academic curriculum but in order to strengthen academic inputs and to minimize the gap between theory and practice, regular teaching is supplemented by guest lectures by eminent academicians and industrialists through seminars and conferences.
From its humble beginning as a College of Engineering in 1961, the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is celebrating its 50th anniversary of academic success. Starting from August 16, 2010 the year long Golden Jubilee celebrations of IIT Delhi witnessed the presence of some of the world’s top academicians, Nobel laureates, bureaucrats and industrialist.
To add to the legacy of Golden Jubilee of the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi was enlightened by the presence of CEO of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer on May 27, 2011. Ballmer, who was travelling to India via Japan and China, met with his new India chief Bhaskar Pramanik before addressing IIT students at the Delhi campus' Dogra Hall where people like Vindi Banga, Rajat Gupta and Vinod Khosla received their degree. In his goofy jumping jack style, the MS chief encouraged the IITians to find their calling and then pursue them.
The CEO lauded the quality and quantity of research work at IIT Delhi while interacting with the faculty and students. In his 40 minute speech Mr. Ballmer gave the institute thumbs up, hailing the contributions of their students and wanting to see some of the “finest and brightest” Indian minds with him at his office in the near future.
