About IIT Kharagpur Our Vision is


The motto of IIT Kharagpur is “Yogah Karmasu To be a centre of excellence in
Kaushalam”. This literally means “yoga is excellence in education and research, producing
action”, essentially implying that doing your work well is global leaders in science, technology
(true) yoga. This can be traced to Sri Krishna's discourse and management
with Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. The quote, in the larger To be a hub of knowledge creation that
context of the Gita, urges man to acquire equanimity prioritises the frontier areas of national

History
The history of the IIT system dates back to 1946 when
a committee was set up by Hon’ble Sir Jogendra
Singh, Member of the Viceroy's Executive Council,
Department of Education, Health and Agriculture to
consider the setting up of Higher Technical Institutions
for post war industrial development in India. The 22
member committee headed by Sri N.R.Sarkar, in its
report, recommended the establishment of four Higher
Technical Institutions in the Eastern, Western,
Northern and Southern regions, possibly on the lines
of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA,
with a number of secondary institutions affiliated to it.
With the above recommendations of the Sarkar
committee in view, the first Indian Institute of
Technology was born in May 1950 in Hijli, Kharagpur,
in the eastern part of India. Initially the IIT started
functioning from 5, Esplanade East, Calcutta and very
soon shifted to Hijli in Sept. 1950. The present name
‘Indian Institute of Technology’ was adopted before
the formal inauguration of the Institute on August 18,
1951, by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. IIT Kharagpur
started its journey in the old Hijli Detention Camp
where some of our great freedom fighters toiled and
sacrificed their lives for the independence of our
country. The history of IIT Kharagpur is thus intimately
linked with the history of the Hijli Detention Camp. This
is possibly one of the very few Institutions all over the
world which started life in a prison house.
