For our Future

The debates surrounding public funding of higher education institutions in India, and especially the IITs, have led to significant cutbacks in government grants provided to support these institutions. This trend is likely to accelerate in the short and medium term and we foresee increasing calls on IITs to support themselves through alumni endowments and research income.

The IITD endowment fund setup in October 2019 is a step in this direction. The Institute is actively looking at ways to encourage alumni and corporates to contribute to its endowment fund by providing opportunities for naming various physical and non-physical entities.
