Independence Day Message from Prof R V Raja Kumar, Director

On this day 73 years back, at the stroke of midnight, India gained its independence from colonial rule after a long freedom struggle and supreme sacrifices by thousands of our country men and women.

On this day, we from IIT Bhubaneswar shall join in paying our respectful homage to these great personalities, re-ignite our hearts with patriotic fervour, re-resolve to maintain unity in diversity and work towards strengthening of the nation in all its dimensions through hard work, adopting high ethical standards, spirited performance of our duties and innovating to bring in positive differences to the society.

With best wishes,
Prof R V Raja Kumar
Director, IIT Bhubaneswar
