ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PATNA Annual Report 2019-2020 CONTENTS 2 | P a g e Annual Report 2019-2020 DIRECTOR’S ADDRESS Annual reports of an institute depict the stages of progress the institute has made over the years- step by step. These are valuable documents recording the history of an institute. IIT Patna- a member of the group of 2G IITs- was set up in 2008. Institutes of higher learning have intellectual, social, cultural, economic and moral responsibilities. Through academics and extra-curricular activities such institutes do man making and contribute to the wealth of the nation. IIT Patna too has been shouldering and will continue to shoulder the responsibility of nation-building. The highlight of 2019-20 has been the momentum with which infrastructure creation and expansion has been continuing. There is continuous progress with recruitment, R & D funding and construction- new hostels, new workshops, new academic buildings etc.. IIT Patna has always been responsive to and responsible for local needs. The interaction with the state continues to be mutually fulfilling. Many new academic programs have been approved in the senate and the Board including MBA with AI specialization, B.Tech in Engineering Physics, BS in Economics, B.Tech in Mathematics and Computing, B.Tech in AI and Data Sciences and so on. Our aim is to reach the figures of 3000 students, 300 faculty members and 330 staff members in 2 years time. Our parent ministry's- MHRD's- continued support in this growth and expansion endeavour is gratefully acknowledged. As we end the period Apr 19- Mar 20, we face a situation hitherto unseen. The covid 19 pandemic has struck the world, impeding normal day to day functioning. Most operations are going online. IIT Patna too has geared up for tackling the challenges of the neo-normal. We have decided to go for online teaching- one of the first institutes to do so. We know that the institute functioning will assume a different character, but normalcy will return and good days will come back. Praying for everybody's well being and safety and reiterating the refrain of our institute song: विश्व का मुकुट मवि आई आई टी पटना सदा तत्पर सदा जाग्रत पीछे ना जाने हटना || Jai Hind. 3 | P a g e Annual Report 2019-2020 ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE Board of Governors Prof. Yogesh Singh Dr. Anand Deshpande Member Chairman Vice-Chancellor, Delhi Technological University (Formerly Delhi College of Prof. Pramod Kumar Jain Engineering) Member(ex-officio) Director, IIT Patna Dr. Mangesh V.
