Bhoomie Puja for "A C Pandya Students' Activity Centre"
Information provided by Ron Gupta ('70) (February 27, 2021)
The "A C Pandya Students' Activity Centre" at the IIT-KGP Department of Agricultural & Food Engineering was initiated on Monday, February 22, 2021, in the presence of Prof. V.K. Tewari, Director; Prof. Rintu Banerjee, Head, Agriculture & Food Engineering; Chitra Gupta; and Ron Gupta, President, IIT Kharagpur Foundation USA. Vinod Gupta ('67) who endowed and set up the center wanted the students of his department to have a place to sit, hangout, and have a snack or tea. The center, which was named in memory of its first head Professor A C Pandya, will meet that need. The hope is that all departments at IIT-Kharagpur will be able to have their very own student center for their students to meet. If you or a group from your department is interested in building a student center for your department, please send us an email at info@iitkgpfoundation.org.
