New Delhi: IIT Bombay professor Rangan Banerjee formally took charge as IIT Delhi’s new director on Tuesday.
Forbes Marshall Chair Professor at IIT Bombay, Banerjee, has done BTech (mechanical) graduation from the same institute. Later, he earned a PhD (mechanical), also from IIT Bombay.
Outgoing director V Ramgopal Rao’s tenure ended on Monday. He was given a befitting farewell by an IIT Delhi start-up via a drone show.
Rao in a note on Facebook said: “After being the Director, IIT Delhi for close to 6 years, I am handing over charge tomorrow (Feb 15, 2022) to Prof. Rangan Banerjee. Today, BotLab Dynamics (#startup at IIT Delhi which performed at the Beating Retreat ceremony during the #Republic Day) put up a surprise show on IIT Delhi playground.”
“I knew that they are performing, but didn’t realize that they were doing it on the occasion of my handing over charge tomorrow. It was very touching indeed to see myself in the sky,” he said.
