President of India, buried the Time Capsule on 6th March 2010. She also unveiled Jugnu, the nano-satellite designed by students of IITK.
What is a TIME CAPSULE?
Organizations see tumultuous progress
and tidings over decades and centuries. The participants in, what
is nothing short of drama, indulge in intense debates and discussions,
in classrooms and research laboratories, and possibly at street corners!
The growth of the organization is sporadic but definitive. Can these
milestones be singled out and recorded for posterity? The time capsule
captures these trends quite subtly as nonlinear growth of an Institute,
the recurring themes and values, and newer concerns that prepare a
society for the future. Decades (indeed, generations) later, future
societies would reflect on what we stood for as well as our ideals,
goals, and aspirations.
