STUDENT ACTIVITIES

The previous year had been a very active and fruitful one for our Institute. IIT
Kanpur has always striven to encourage an equitable balance between academics and
extracurricular engagements. Our aim is to create future leaders in their chosen
fields and not just technically accomplished individuals. Knowledge and skills that
are easily measured or assessed are not the only ones worth having; some very
precious qualities such as a person’s sense of values and cultural awareness are
equally important goals to attain. We take pride in the support the Institute provides
to various social, cultural and sporting activities pursued by the Students’ Gymkhana
and other student groups. The activities range from clubs like Prayas, where
students teach children coming from socially disadvantaged and economically
deprived backgrounds to the Dramatics club which through its thematic and socially
relevant plays often alert us to the most crucial questions concerning humanity, thus
providing a corrective to our traditional knowledge-based and examination-driven
teaching. Other technically oriented student groups are engaged round the year in
pursuing special interests like robotics, electronic aids, animation, aero-modeling and
astronomy to name just a few.

The overriding objective of our large-scale events like the Cultural Festival
Antaragni, the Science and Technology Festival Techkriti, the sports Festivals
Udgosh and Josh, the entrepreneurial event Megabucks and the film festival
Umang organized by the Students Films Society is to infuse in our students a sense
of richness and purpose. We are fully convinced that extracurricular activities and
community services play a significant role in school life contributing to the
development of the student into a whole person. The Gymkhana Festivals have seen
vastly improved participation levels, both from within the Institute and also from

8
Annual Report 2004-2005

students from other Indian and international institutes. The revenue generated from
the conduct of these well-organized festivals witnessed a dramatic growth this year
and ably testifies to the managerial and logistical skills of our students.

Students’ strenuous efforts often involving months of intensive training were well
rewarded at the Inter IIT Sports meet held at IIT Madras. In our contingent of
120 there were over 40 first year students whose enthusiasm and experience, we
hope, would provide a source of strength in the coming year. Other activities like
nature trails, trekking, and mountaineering are being taken up actively by the
students. Student’s interest in activities like photography and music are also being
actively encouraged and the Institute is doing all it can to provide the enthusiasts of
these and other clubs with the requisite funding and equipment. In order to
encourage the sports activities among the students, the Institute has introduced
Sports Prizes to the medalists in the Inter IIT Sports meet, and twenty sports
scholarships of Rs 500/- per month each for achieving outstanding leadership in
sports.

Both the general interest student Magazine Meander and the campus news reportage
of Spark are sustaining discussion and debate in the student community. These
journalistic endeavors have been successful in cultivating a broader awareness in the
student community of certain problems. They facilitate an active personal
engagement in the system of redressal and also act as a sounding board for student
opinion.

The placement scenario this year has witnessed a positive upswing with almost 93%
of the B.Tech and 70% of the M. Tech students registered with the student placement
office getting offers. A remarkable improvement in M. Tech placement has been
observed with more than 100 additional offers compared to the previous years.
Placement of the MBA students has been 100 % with substantial increase in the
average pay package. Many companies of repute also registered for the on-campus-
recruitment program for the first time. From the next academic session, the
placement activities will start after the inter IIT Sports meet in December. A new
complex comprising Students’ Placement Office, Alumni Activities, and a mini
convention centre is coming up adjacent to the stadium between Visitors’ Hostel and
SAC with enthusiastic support from alumni of 1969 and 1980 batch. With improved
facilities and a response system in place, we earnestly hope that the coming year
would see increased participation of companies and industrial organizations for
effective placement and industrial training programs.

Academic Programme
EDUCATIONAL GOALS

The engineering education should produce trained manpower for maintaining and
advancing technological growth. The scope of engineering education should evolve
based on the evaluation of technological growth for their usefulness and relevance to
the prosperity of the country. The educational strategy should help to develop a
knowledge industry. The systems involved in this endeavor should strive for
furtherance of knowledge.

The academic goals of the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur from the viewpoint
of its teaching programme are as the following:

To prepare the students for the highest level of excellence in science, and
technology and produce competent, creative and imaginative scientists and
engineers.

To promote a spirit of free and objective inquiry in different fields amongst the
students and motivate them for higher studies and research.

To foster inter-disciplinary approach. To promote the concept of virtual research


departments by bringing together faculty and students into activities of mutual
interest.

TEACHING PROGRAMMES

The Institute offers instructions in various disciplines of science and engineering,


both at undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) levels. These programmes are
planned and implemented by the Senate of the Institute through the Senate
Undergraduate Committee (SUGC) and the Senate Post-graduate Committee
(SPGC), respectively.

Undergraduate Programme
The four-year undergraduate programme consists of two parts having duration of
four semesters each. The first part is the core programme common to all students,
and is carefully planned to give the students a strong base of basic education in
mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering sciences, technical arts, humanities and

62

social sciences. The second part of the undergraduate programme consists of the
professional courses and a project in the chosen branch of specialization. At the
Bachelor’s level, we have B.Tech. programs in Aerospace, Chemical, Civil,
Computer Science, Electrical, Metallurgy and Mechanical Engineering. We also
have integrated M.Sc. programs in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics.
From July 2005, we have started an integrated M.Sc. program in Economics. The
students for these programs are selected through JEE and usually they are the top
students from various places in the country.
Two-Year M.Sc. Programme
There are programs for M. Sc. (2 years) in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and
Statistics, where the students with B.Sc. (Hons.) background are chosen through an
all-India examination known as JAM.

Postgraduate Programme
The postgraduate programme is intended to prepare students to enter their
professions with a perspective and breadth of knowledge related to the principal
divisions of their respective fields of specialization through courses and specialized
research experience. A postgraduate student is typically enrolled for three or four
courses each semester until the student advances to a point where the principal
requirements of the programme left to be fulfilled are research and thesis.

M.Tech. Programme
We have M.Tech. Programmes in all the Engineering Branches, mentioned above.
In addition, there are M. Tech. Programs in the interdisciplinary areas, such as,
Nuclear Engineering, Biological Sciences and Bioengineering, Laser Technology,
Environmental Engineering, Materials Science, and Industrial and Management

New Initiatives

(a) M.Sc. in Economics


IIT Kanpur has introduced a M Sc (5 year integrated) program in Economics from
July 2005. This program will provide a strong grounding in basic sciences,
engineering as well as in various emerging areas of Economics.

The role of humanities and social sciences in Science Education is to be revisited. A


perfect blend of humanities would imbibe intellectual honesty, professional ethics
and capacity for teamwork in the face of new challenges. The knowledge of
Economics and use of Technology for creation of wealth are necessary preconditions
for breaking the chains of poverty and low standard of living in the developing
countries. Economics and Technology have always migrated together from one
country to another, from Europe to United States, from United States to Japan and
from Japan to Asian Tigers. Today India is in the midst of this tremendous migration
of global know-how. American and European companies are increasingly carrying
out their design and manufacturing work in India.

65
Annual Report 2004-2005

India has a great tradition in Economics Education and Research. Prof. Amartya Sen,
Prof. Jagdish N. Bhagwati are among the finest and best known Economists in the
World.

Today’s India needs trained mind that is a perfect blend of Technology and
Economics. The Integrated MSc program in Economics is a step in that direction.

The programme has been designed keeping the recommendations of the Senate
Undergraduate Review Committee in perspective. Twenty-five students will be
admitted through the Joint Entrance Examination and there will be no prerequisite of
Economics as a subject at the higher secondary level. The four streams of Economics
are focused. They are Econometrics and quantitative techniques; Industrial
economics and business policy; Development infrastructure and public policy and
Environment and resource economics. The credit requirement for the graduation is
199 Credit Points. First four semesters would be common with the other branches of
BTech and MSc Integrated programmes.

(b) Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering


The Scope of Environmental Science and Environmental Engineering is inherently
interdisciplinary and expanding rapidly. Recognizing the challenges for
environmentally sustainable development, IIT Kanpur initiated an interdisciplinary
M.Tech. Programme in Environmental Engineering and Management in 1997. This
experience has convinced the Institute that there is a pressing need to integrate
environmental engineering and science across various disciplines to solve problems
that have important societal impact.

A National Advisory Committee (NAC) was constituted by IIT Kanpur to identify


the strategies related to the education in Environmental Sciences and Environmental
Engineering. The NAC further recommended that in order to ensure full and
unrestricted growth of environmental science and engineering disciplines, a separate
initiative be started.

The sustainability of any academic programme and its viability would depend on
better and comprehensive integration of the interdisciplinary aspects of such a
programme. It is also essential that research should focus on new emerging areas,
which can respond to the varying societal environmental concerns. Faculty members
drawn from the current EEM program, and Departments such as Chemistry,
Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Physics, Biological Sciences and Bio-

66
Annual Report 2004-2005

Engineering, Mechanical Engineering etc. can provide the best combination to


initiate a world class teaching and research academic program in Environmental
Science and Environmental Engineering, once state of the art facilities are created.

It is proposed to initiate a new multidisciplinary facility for Environmental Science


and Environmental Engineering at IIT Kanpur, with a focus on the following areas:

Green Technologies
Assessment, monitoring and modeling of environmental quality
Pollution control and remediation
Health risk assessments due to modern technologies and products
Ecological modeling,
Atmospheric Sciences – monsoon dynamics, global warning, ozone
depletion)
Land reclamation
Water Resources – groundwater as well as surface water
Environmental Geosciences – Earth systems
Environmental Chemistry

To attain these objectives, a comprehensive infrastructure facility including state-of–


the-art laboratory will be required. The equipment proposed to be purchased will also
be utilized for the on-going research activities in other Departments of the Institute.

National Programme on Earthquake Engineering Education


IIT Kanpur earnestly believes that every Institute of National Importance has an
obligation to render necessary service to the country in a crisis. Our country is prone
to large earthquakes, and we need to contain the risks this involves. A trained
manpower development programme for earthquake risk mitigation, known as
NPEEE (National Programme on Earthquake Engineering Education), has been
instituted by the Government of India. IIT Kanpur is the nodal agency for the entire
gamut of NPEEE activities. The enthusiastic faculty members of the Institute have
made enormous contribution in the Earthquake Engineering Education in the
country. Their work in the Andaman Islands during the Tsunami calamity deserves
deep appreciation.

Outreach and National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning


Meaningful growth of an Institution depends on the kind of commitment it has made
to the society at large. Benefits of academic excellence cannot remain restricted to
the boundaries of the academic wall. In an electronic age that has seen the walls

67
Annual Report 2004-2005

razed down across states and countries, an institute like IIT Kanpur has a supreme
role in providing leadership that addresses societal concerns. As part of our social
responsibility, we want to share our expertise with fellow academic institutions
across the country and abroad. Towards this goal, we have initiated an Outreach
Education Program. Under this scheme, using the VSAT transmission technology,
we are providing lecture courses in the area of engineering and biological sciences to
the college and university students in the State of Chhattisgarh. IIT Kanpur is
promise bound to transmit some advanced courses to the students of newly founded
Pandit Dwarka Prasad Mishra Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design
and Management (PDPMIIITDM), Jabalpur. IIT Kanpur is also participating in a
new project, known as Indo-French Cyber University This will foster international
collaboration in the areas of emerging technologies. The program will include
transmission of courses between IIT-Kanpur and the Université Pierre et Marie Curie
(Paris). The courses will be taught in English to the advanced Master’s students in
both countries by the French and Indian professors.

IIT Kanpur is also participating in the National Program on Technology Enhanced


Learning (NPTEL) sponsored by the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
Knowledge grows faster when shared. The NPTEL (National Program on
Technology Enhanced Learning) is an initiative of the MHRD to promulgate quality
education among the Engineering Colleges of the country through the Video and
Web-based learning material in some of the popular disciplines. In particular,
MHRD wants to monitor the standard of Engineering Education in many colleges
where well-trained faculty members are not available in many subjects. The task is
bivalent in nature. On one hand, the standards of the colleges are to be uplifted,
while on the other hand the courses have to be acceptable to the end users. Seven
IITs and IISc Bangalore are the major players in this endeavor. The courses prepared
at IIT Kanpur, are being transmitted through the educational TV Channel, Eklavya
on regular basis. These courses have earned appreciation form a wide range of
learners.

Major Multi-disciplinary Facilities Added During the Financial Year 2004-2005


are:

1. Affymetrix GeneChip System

The GeneChip® Instrument System is a fully integrated platform for conducting


expression analysis studies using GeneChip Probe Arrays. The system consists of a
GeneChip® Scanner 3000, a Fluidics Station 450, a Hybridization Oven 640 and a
powerful computer workstation loaded with GeneChip® Operating Software
(GCOS). Drosophila genome version 2.0 chips are used for experiments. These
oligonucleotide spotted GeneChips allow the monitoring of the expression levels of
more than 16,000 Drosophila genes at the same time.
The GeneChip Scanner 3000 incorporates advanced design improvements with
speed, superior performance, saving of space and lower scanner-to-scanner variation
to dramatically improve throughput and efficiency in genetic analysis. It provides
more accurate gridding and more consistent scanner-to-scanner biological
performance, improving data integrity and data sharing between researchers.
Combined with the GeneChip Autoloader, the GeneChip Scanner 3000 also provides
sample tracking, temperature control and walk away freedom during scanning. The
scanner is also designed to accommodate future advancements in GeneChip
technology. The GCOS software allows full control of instrumentation as well as
basic analysis and filtering of data.

2. Automated DNA Sequencing Facility

The ultimate goal of genome research is to map all the genes in the DNA sequence
for various model organisms and to develop tools for using this information in the
study of human biology and medicine. A high throughput DNA sequencer (CEQ
8000 from Beckman Coulter) has been acquired, which is a fully automated genetic
analysis system. This system automatically fills the capillary array with a patented
linear polyacrylamide (LPA) gel, denatures and loads the sample, applies the voltage
program, and analyzes the data. Software tools help in rapidly reviewing data quality
and even customize automated data assessment.
This system is equipped to perform sequence run for 96 samples in 24 hours. The
following analyses can be done using this system.

80
Annual Report 2004-2005

· De Novo DNA Sequencing


· Heterozygote Detection
· Confirmatory Sequencing
· Mutation Analysis
· Allele Identification
· SNP Scoring
· Microsatellite Instability
· AFLP Fingerprinting
· Gene Expression

The CEQ800 system uses standard chain termination sequencing methodology like
the radio-active method but employs new detection and sampling technologies. The
labels attached to the ddNTPs are different fluorophores. Therefore it is possible to
carry out the four sequencing reactions - for A, C, G and T - in a single tube and to
load all four families of molecules into just one capillary, as the fluorescent detector
can discriminate between the different labels and hence determine if each band
represents an A, C, G or T. The sequence can be read directly as the bands pass in
front of the detector and sent straight to a computer for analyses. These data files can
be opened in several third party software packages for further analyses.

3. Malvern's Spraytec Particle Analyzer

Malvern's Spraytec combines the proven technique of laser diffraction particle


characterization with high concentration data inversion routines for the analysis of
sprays with rapidly changing concentrations. Spraytec is ideally suited for the study
of fuel sprays and aerosols.
Laser beam passing through the spray gets scattered and the scattered light is
collected over a series of photo-detectors (receiver). The amount of scattered light on
each of the detector is measured and particle size distribution is obtained on this
basis. Using the principle of Mie scattering theory and a diode laser to produce a
beam of 670 nm wavelength, the instrument has a measuring rate of 2500 Hz (max.)
and obscuration level of upto 95%. The instrument allows study of transient
phenomenon and very dense sprays and can measure particle sizes upto 0.5 m to
1000 m. The system has been installed in the propulsion laboratory of the Aerospace
Engineering department for development, characterization and testing of fuel
atomizers. This facility is being used by Mechanical, Chemical and BSBE
departments.

81
Annual Report 2004-2005

4. AFM/STM Facility

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) /Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) has


revolutionized the field of interfacial surface science by enabling direct, high-
resolution visualization of surface morphology of variety of surfaces in air, in
various solutions and gas environments. Besides topography, AFM imaging is also
capable of distinguishing areas that have different chemical phases, physical
properties like elasticity, stiffness, hardness, and can image magnetic domains and
conductivity in nanoscale. AFM provides a quick way to obtain high-resolution
images with little or no sample preparation. With the advent of the new technologies
simplifying the preparation and handling of numerous sample types, the use of this
powerful technique is becoming widespread in materials and biological research.
AFM/STM facility at IIT Kanpur was established in January 2002 and is equipped
with Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) system made by Molecular Imaging, Inc
(USA). Contact mode, Acoustic AC (AAC) mode, Magnetic AC (MAC) mode, Pulse
Force Mode (PFM) and Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) are the available
modes.
The modular design of the microscope, scanner and environmental control
equipment, motivated by the need for flexible in-fluid work and in controlled
atmosphere, makes this facility very versatile. It has a wide range of both AFM and
STM capabilities for examining sample surfaces and to conduct force spectroscopy
and tunneling spectroscopy experiments of conducting or semi conducting surfaces
with atomic resolution. AFM is used in structural and molecular biology, materials
science research and molecular interactions studies through force spectroscopy.

5. SQUID Laboratory

The Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) based Magnetic


Properties Measurement System (MPMS) is a highly integrated instrument system
specified for experimental and materials characterization tasks that require highest
detection sensitivity over a broad temperature range (1.7K-350K) and in applied
magnetic fields as high as 5 tesla (50,000 Gauss). In fact these devices are powerful
enough to measure the small magnetic fields around the human heart and brain. The
SQUID laboratory has a complementary technique to characterize the electron
transport properties of materials. It is called the Physical Properties Measurements
System (PPMS). This integrated facility with such low-temperature and high-field
capability is the first of its kind in India.

Annual Report 2004-2005

6. CEM Voyager Stopflow System

The system along with discover microwave reaction module provides specific
designs that satisfies the need to scale up organic reactions with energy in a safe,
controlled and consistent method. It is made fit to do reactions with liquid, slurries
and solid reagents, scaling up the reaction from 10 ml to 80 ml with same parameters
and same yield. The additional feature is the Investigator System, a Raman
spectroscopy system, featuring a compact 785nm laser diode and a CCD detector to
offer the smallest and most cost-effective Raman system. This technique allows the
analytical interrogation of reactions through in situ real time analysis with
microwave-enhanced chemistry. Reaction conditions can be controlled and adjusted
based on product formation, starting material depletion, reactant uptake, or other
critical parameters.

7. Pulsed Electron Deposition Unit for Thin Film Nanostructures

Pulsed Electron Deposition technique allows penetration of a high power electron


beam approximately 1m into the target material (ablation) and can be computer
controlled for maximum reproducibility. This technique provides a unique platform
for depositing thin films of complex materials on a variety of technologically
important substrates, with a unique strength of extending the range of materials
including multi component metal oxides, complex alloys and novel polymers. Non-
equilibrium extraction of target material (ablation) facilitates stoichiometric
deposition.

8. High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC)

The technique is used for separation and quantification of non-volatile


organic compounds. Movement of organic compounds with any solvent under the
capillary action on a stationary plate coated with porous materials (Silica Gel/ RP/
Cellulose etc.) depends on two factors:
a) Polarity of Coating material (Stationary Phase), Solvent system (Mobile Phase)
and the organic compound (Sample).
b) Molecular weight of the compound (Heavier compounds will rise less)
Molecules of different compounds rise to different levels on a stationary plate under
the capillary action with mobile phase. Each molecule of a compound has same
affinity to mobile / stationary phase, and hence, all molecules of a specific compound
rise to same level on the plate. As a result, such development separates all the
compounds in layers and they appear at different heights on the plate. The

83
Annual Report 2004-2005

compounds separated in different layers can further be quantified by absorbance


study under UV-visible spectrum.

one for girls (GH) with total capacities of 3433 and 350 for boys and girls
respectively. In addition, there is accommodation for 60 students in single bedroom
apartments (SBRA). The construction of hall of Residence No.9 is in planning stage.

The Halls have single and double-seated rooms. Presently, most of the senior
undergraduate and all post graduate students are given single-seated rooms, while
most of first and second year and some third year B. Tech. and M. Sc., (Integrated)
students and Ist year M. Sc. (2-Year) are living in double seated rooms. Each Hall
has a mess of which every hall resident is a member. The Halls of Residence also
have a well subscribed reading room, TV room, TT rooms, badminton and volley
ball courts, canteen, library (with the books on general topics) and several hobby
clubs. The affairs of these amenities in each Hall are managed by (i) the respective
committee of students for the amenities and (ii) a central Hall Executive Committee
(HEC) under the overall guidance and supervision of three wardens (two for Hall-
VI). The overall management of the Halls of residence is through the central Hall
Management Council (HMC). The Council of Wardens (COW) looks after the
affairs of mess workers.

In addition to students, staff working in various research projects of the Institute are
also provided accommodation in the halls depending upon the availability of the
rooms. The boarding and lodging arrangements for the participants of conferences

ACTIVITIES OF STUDENTS GYMKHANA

As mentioned above, academic activities are only one facet of student’s life at IIT
Kanpur. Our students actively participate in various extra and co-curricular activities
focused towards the holistic development of their mind and body. The year 2004-
2005 also saw a very active calendar in the form of various games and cultural
events.

Games and Sports Activities at IIT Kanpur


IIT Kanpur has a very vibrant sports atmosphere. There are sports events all over the
year at both, the hostel level and at the Institute level. The Games and Sports Council
conducts all sports activities at the Institute level and actively helps in the conduction
of the events in the various hostels. There are dedicated institute teams for each sport
in addition to clubs that augment the sports culture in their own way.

IIT Kanpur boasts about some of the very best facilities of any Institute in the
country. There is a full grass cricket ground, athletics track, two volleyball courts,
basketball courts, an indoor setup for Badminton, TT and weightlifting and fully
Floodlit Hockey and Football grounds. In addition to these great playgrounds, there
is also an Olympic size swimming pool, replete with a diving board set-up, five
regularly maintained tennis grounds, two concrete and three clay courts and an
indoor gymnasium. The maintenance and addition of new facilities is entrusted to
the Physical Education Section, a separate department devoted to sports activities,
which boasts some very highly qualified coaches.

The Games and Sports Council comprises of the teams for various sports and a clubs
related to sports. The past one-year has been very successful for the Council. The
Institute teams practice regularly in preparation for the Inter IIT Sports Meet,
conducted every year in December. They play practice matches against local clubs,
both at home and away, and other teams that come over to IIT Kanpur during
Udghosh, The IIT Kanpur sports festival. Some of our teams have developed very
well in the past one-year. The football team hasn’t lost a single match at home in the
past one year against in all competition.

132
Annual Report 2004-2005

In addition to the regular activities of the teams, the council conducts two sports
festivals, Udghosh and Josh. Udghosh, the IIT Kanpur Sports festival is a great
competitive experience where colleges from all over the country come and
participate in a three-day event. Udghosh attracted over 900 participants from
colleges all over the country. The home teams performed extremely well at
Udghosh, with Gold medals in six different sports. It was a huge sporting success
with record number of participant. Josh is the Intra IIT Kanpur sports festival, where
all the events are conducted at night. It was started the year before, and was an even
bigger success this year. Over sixty teams registered in all the events with night
Phatta registering over a hundred teams, and an estimated 2500 students took part in
one event or the other. Such participation level from the predominantly academic
minded students of IIT Kanpur was a big surprise. In addition to these mega events,
the hostels also have their own sports festival. The two undergraduate hostels, Hall 2
and Hall 3, conduct Unmad and Olympus respectively while Hall 4 continues its
love affair with Volleyball with Smash.

There are four Clubs under the Sports Council viz. the Adventure Sports Club, the
Tae-Kwon-do Club, the Bridge club and the Nature Club. The Adventure sports
club is one of the most active clubs in the campus. It undertakes treks and cycling
expeditions to exotic places of great natural beauty. In the past one year it
successfully undertook two treks and two cycling expeditions. In addition to these
activities it also conducts activities such as river rafting and wall climbing. The
members of each expedition are selected after a rigorous conditioning program.

The Tae-Kwon-do club was very active and successful in the past one year. The
club enrolls students at nominal fees and imparts Tae-Kwon-do training. The club
successfully conducted many belt promotion tests in the last one year. The Club was
very successful at the district belt tests and now boasts a few black belts in its ranks.
The coaching is imparted by a very highly qualified coach, who himself is a black
belt holder. The club has also initiated the process to get Tae-Kwon-do recognized
as a regular sport in the Inter IIT sports meet.

The Bridge Club was started this year. It was started to cater to the interests of many
students who are interested in this card game. It has been very active since its
inception, and has been successful in conducting workshops and holding Bridge
competitions. The Nature Club caters to the interests of a few nature lovers. The
club holds workshops and visits wildlife sanctuaries. It labels the trees inside the
campus and gives its say in all environment related issues inside the Institute.

133
Annual Report 2004-2005

The last one-year has been a very productive year. A much larger number of
individuals are participating in sports activities than a year before, both from the
junior and senior batches. This spurt in sports activities will surely go a long way to
improve our performance at the Inter IIT meet and also help maintain the vibrant
sports culture of IIT Kanpur.

INTER IIT SPORTS MEET’04

Inter IIT Sports Meet was held in IIT Madras in December 13th – 19th, 2004.The
performance by our teams didn’t live up to our expectations. However, to put things
into perspective, a comparison with the last years results, which is acknowledged to
be much better, shows that we made it to the semifinals in three sports in Men
category (compared to 4 last year) and one in Women category (none). We had to
drop many senior players due to injuries, departmental tours and last minute seminar
call-ups, etc. The constructive aspect to come out of this meet was that we had over
40 first year students in the contingent of 120, which is a very good base to improve
on for next year.
We won Silver medal in Football and Bronze medal in Badminton (Women). In
individual events Mr. Sandeep Yedlapalli won gold medal in Shot-put Throw and
Mr.Rajeev Kapoor won Bronze medals in 1500m and 5000m races. Volleyball and
Badminton (Men) missed the medals but got fourth position.
We got a dismal 6th position but we plan to take effective measures to avoid
situations due to which our key players had to back out and to build on fresh talent of
the first yearites.

UDGHOSH’04

Udghosh 2004, the Inter Collegiate Sports festival, organized by the Games and
Sports Council, Students Gymkhana, IIT Kanpur was held from September 30th to
October 3rd, 2004.The total number of participants at Udghosh 2004 was a record

Lawn Tennis.

In individual games Mr. Rajeev Kapoor won silver medal in 5000m race and bronze
medals in 1500m & 800m race.

The overall performance of our teams was good and upto our expectations. This
event prepared an effective platform for the upcoming Inter IIT Sports’ Meet ’04.

CULTURAL COUNCIL’S ACTIVITIES

Cultural Council aims at holistic development of students of the Institute. It


organizes activities in several fields such as fine arts, music, SPIC MACAY, drama,
dance, appreciation of Hindi and English literature, spiritual and cultural values and
action, and quizzes. During 2004-05 Cultural Council organized several such
activities through students clubs devoted to each of them. The activities of Cultural
Council start with Freshers Night and continue through out the year. Each club
organized four-five events. Among them Galaxy, the inter hall cultural competition
is very popular among students. It was organized with typical fun and fare. Some
other successful events organized by the Cultural Council were: Musical
Extravaganza, Dramatics Workshop, and Guitar classes which ran throughout the
year.

Every Friday Vivekanand Samiti held a study circle to discuss books written by great
thinkers. A discussion on Bhagwat Gita was carried out on every Saturday.
Vivekanand Samiti also conducted semester long courses in Yoga with the help of an
outside expert. Lectures and workshops on meditation and book exhibitions were
held at regular intervals. Among other activities the Samiti mobilized students to
realize their social responsibility by having organized medical camps, old clothes
and books distribution camps. It also worked in association with Shiksha Sopan and
Prayas which run schools in nearby villages. The Samiti maintains a library of over
300 books on spiritual matters.

135
Annual Report 2004-2005

One of the new features of the activities of the Cultural Council this year was that it
joined hands with the Centre for Creative Writing and Publication and organized
creative writing competition, film workshop by Narendra Ketkar, and lectures by
well known writers such as Chetan Bhagat and Sandipan Deb.

However, the most important task of the Cultural Council was to organize Antaragni,
the annual cultural festival of IIT Kanpur. Antaragni 2004 was organized from 28
October to 31 October 2004. More than 1000 participants from 45 colleges of India
representing different types of colleges, institutions and universities participated in it.
Apart from debates, competitions, professional nights, Antaragni 2004 added a two-
day event India Haat aiming at the cultural union of different states of India.
Representatives from Mizorum, Assam, Manipur, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya
Pradesh took part in this and presented folk art from the respective regions. At the
organizational level a new institution of Mid Night Meeting was introduced; in the
mid night each day the team leaders and the organizing team met to discuss problems
and complaints of participants and find solutions. Through this “important
announcements” were conveyed to the participants. During 2004 the Cultural
Council made a special effort to convert the event from the purely students’ event to
campus event in which not only students but also other campus residents could
participate and develop a feeling of oneness. This promotes integration between
different groups on the campus and ultimately helps the students in developing a
sense of integration, pride, culture and leadership.

Techkriti 2005

Techkriti, the Annual Science and Technology Festival of IIT Kanpur, was held from
24th to 27th February 2005. Techkriti ’05 celebrated the spirit of creativity, innovation
and technical expertise in its full vigor. Nearly1000 participants from colleges all
across India visited IIT Kanpur to participate in the festival. This figure was the
largest for any festival ever held in IIT Kanpur. In addition to competitive events,
workshops, lectures and demonstrations were held to give a hand-on experience with
the latest in technology. Following sections give a detailed review of Techkriti ’05.

Events: New events, Gearloose, i-Quz and Techcetera were introduced in


Techkriti’05. An event restructuring was done and smaller events were clubbed
together into a single large event, which helped in marketing and organization.
Traditional and popular events like Endeavor, Robogames, ECDC, Eureka, and
Software Corner were scaled up with increased scope of competition, innovative
organization and increased prize money. All the events attracted huge enthusiastic

136
Annual Report 2004-2005

participation. International Online Programming Contest (IOPC) deserves special


mention, as it saw huge participation from all across the globe, giving Techkriti a
truly international color. The Quiz organized by the famous Quiz Master, Barry
O’Brian attracted huge crowds. This Quiz was largely responsible for the
revitalization of quizzing culture in IIT Kanpur. The main attraction of the festival,
however, was Techtalk. Dr. Heng Phon Too gave a lecture on Bio-entrepreneurship
from National University of Singapore, Singapore. Hacking workshop by eminent
hacking specialist Sachin Deodhar was a big crowd puller in the festival. A RFID,
Smart Cards, Embedded Systems Workshop was organized, which included lectures
from Dr. Rajat Moona (IIT Kanpur), and Mr. Aditya Razdan, Vice-President, Infotek
Software and Systems Pvt. Ltd. For the first time in IIT Kanpur, a design lecture-
cum-workshop was organized by Dilip Chhabria. Eminent speaker Shiv Khera
delivered his motivational talk.

Participation: Techkriti ’05 witnessed huge participation from colleges all across
the country with the number of participants scaling up to 1000. A step was taken
towards automation with the development of Web based Event Management System.
The software developed can be used in future too.

Umang 2005

Umang 2005, the annual film festival of the Students’ Film Society, Students’
Gymkhana, was held from January 7 – 15, 2005. The 9-day festiaval started on a

designated polling day) and a total of 35 films were screened as a part of the festival.

The films spanned all possible genres and themes as were feasible given the
timeframe, and were very well appreciated by the student as well as faculty
communities.

The biggest change we made for Umang 2005 was the length of the festival and the
number of films screened – 9 days and 35 films for a complete film festival was
unheard of till this year. However, a complete film festival is what we got, in all
senses of the phrase.

The films screened spanned Indian films (in Hindi, English and regional languages),
western films (from Europe as well as Hollywood), animated films (Hollywood and
Japanese) and Indian documentary films that focused on various social concerns.

COUNSELLING SERVICE
Counselling Service is an organization made up of student volunteers, faculty
members and staff who offer help and guidance to students on the academic,
emotional and financial fronts. During the session April 2004-March 2005, the
Counselling Service had two UG coordinators, one PG Coordinator, assisted by 5
UG assistant coordinators and 3 PG assistant coordinators and a team of
nearly 73 UG student guides and 23 PG student guides.

Like every year, the activities of the Counselling Service started during the summer
with the preparation for welcoming the new batch of students. A well planned
brochure including letters from the Head, Counselling service, Student Coordinators,
President, Students’ Gymkhana informing them about the practical details of life at
IIT Kanpur and other useful information like the bus schedule, academic calendar
and the map of the Institute etc. were sent to all the new students before their arrival
on the campus. A workshop was organized for the student guides to sensitize them to
the problems that the new students assigned to them might face. A group of 5-6 new
students was associated with a student guide and a faculty counsellor who facilitated
their smooth settlement in the initial stages.

A common Orientation Programme for the new UG and PG students (for 5 days) was
organized for the first time during which they were shown around the campus and
informed about the various facilities available to them. They were assisted in

144
Annual Report 2004-2005

opening up new bank accounts and were guided through all the official processes of
making I-Cards, health booklets, cc logins and the final registration. The Counselling
Service also organized a bank presentation where the new students got to know about
the various educational loan schemes of the different participating banks. Lectures
by the Head, Computer Center and the Games Counsellor were also included.

A Link structure was also formed after the commencement of the academic session
in August to take care of academically deficient students. The team consisted of 22
link students and 14 link faculty members associated with every department. Regular
meetings were organized to monitor their academic performance. A total of 6
meetings (3 in each semester) were held to discuss the issues related to these
students. During the session 2004-05 (I), 58 students were on Academic Probation
list and 54 students on Warning. 71 students came out of the list after this semester.
A total of 190 students were on AP/ Warning during the 2004-05 II sessions.

Group counselling was also introduced during this year to identify the problems of
the academically deficient students. 3 such sessions with different groups of students
were held. Around 57 students were involved in these sessions. Many students
personally met the Head, Counselling and the Counsellor regularly for guidance.

Like the previous year, this year too certain students were recommended the slow
paced programme, on the basis of their performance up to the first mid semester
examination. Meetings were held with these students to suggest semester wise
course plans according to their departments. Two meetings of slow pace committee
(one in each semester) were held to review the slow pace policy.

To assist the students having problems in English conversation and comprehension,


the Counselling Service organized conversational classes at nominal rates.

A Student Faculty Open House Discussion on the Academic Issues concerning the
students was organized in the 2004-05 (I) Session. The forum witnessed active
participation from both student and faculty communities and it was realized that
more of such sessions should be organized to enhance student-faculty interaction and
discussion of academic concerns of mutual interest.

A thesis-writing workshop was conducted for the PG students. A total of 70 students


attended this workshop.

145
Annual Report 2004-2005

Like every year, Counselling Service appointed a professional psychiatrist who


visited the campus on alternate Saturdays to resolve various psychological problems
of the students and an assistant counsellor to support the various activities of the
service. A total of 80 students consulted the psychiatrist. In addition to this,
psychiatric help was also available outside the campus in cases of emergency
through the Counselling service. A proactive initiative by the assistant counsellor
motivated students to come forth for guidance in personal and emotional issues. A
total of 60 students met her during the period from August 2004- April 2005.

On the financial front, students were provided assistance through SBF scholarships.
Around 50 students could avail this facility. Loans were provided to students facing
acute financial problems.

In addition to this, volunteers from Counselling Service helped make arrangements


for the PM’s visit to the Institute.

In February, the new coordinators both for UG and PG were selected and interviews
were held for selecting the new assistant coordinators and student guides for the next
session. New faculty counsellors were also appointed as per the choice of the student
guides. The new team took charge after the handing over ceremony in April, where
the old team was presented badges by the Director.

8. Two of the faculty members have received the prestigious “Wellcome Trust
International Senior Research Fellowship award” from United Kingdom:
Balaji Prakash: “Structural Studies on GTPases and EDG Family G Protein-
Coupled Receptor”, July 2004 – June 2009, Approx. Rs 266 lakhs. GTPases
are Guanosine Tri-Phosphate (GTP) binding proteins that control multiple
biochemical pathways in the cell. Hydrolysis of GTP by GTPases requires
the crucial role of a highly conserved amino acid Glutamine. Mutation of this
Glutamine in one such GTPase, called Ras, leads to cancers and search for
drugs is a difficult task. Since three-dimensional structure of a protein
dictates its function, drugs can be designed based on this knowledge.
Although a lot is now understood about Ras and its structure, little success

300
Annual Report 2004-2005

has come by way of drugs. The project proposed here aims to provide an
alternative methodology to facilitate this goal. We wish to understand how
certain atypical GTPases carry out GTP hydrolysis, despite carrying
oncogenic (cancerous) mutations. These GTPases (HAS-GTPases) are
atypical because the essential glutamine is substituted by a hydrophobic
residue, which cannot perform the same role. Using Bioinformatics,
Biochemistry and Structural biology as major methodologies, we wish to
understand the novel catalytic mechanisms underlying the function of these
proteins. This knowledge will provide the structural framework for anti-Ras
drug design.
