Genesis: Located at a latitude of 22.3145° N and longitude of 87.3091° E, Kharagpur - a town tucked away in the eastern corner of India,
famous in colonial times as home of the longest railway platform
in the world - was chosen by a newly independent nation in 1951 to witness an epic experiment: the creation of an
Institute of Technology at par with the best in the world.
Kharagpur, it turned out, would never be the same again.
Spurred by the success of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, four younger IITs sprouted across the country a decade later, and from these five came thousands of IITians, the brand ambassadors of modern India. It was the success of this one institution at Kharagpur that wrote India's technological odyssey.
