IIT Delhi Endowment Fund

The IIT Delhi endowment fund was formally launched on 31st October 2019 by the Hon’ble President of India, Mr Ram Nath Kovind, at a glittering ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. Launched with an initial commitment of Rs 262 Crore by over 17 founder alumni. In its first year, the IIT Delhi Endowment corpus has received contributions of over Rs. 85 Crores (about $11M) from pioneer Founders and contributors, who have committed over Rs 338 Cr (over $45.6M) over 5 years.

The fund will work towards the development of the institute, encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, and allow IIT Delhi to deliver greater value and attain higher levels of quality in teaching and research. The earnings from the fund are utilized under the guidance of a Governing Board of Advisors consisting of alumni and Director and Dean (alumni) of IIT Delhi.

The IIT Delhi Endowment Fund is a critical component of our plans for long-term financial stability. Over the years, we expect the Endowment to grow significantly through the generosity of our alumni, friends and well-wishers, corporates, and philanthropists.
