Editorial

As I put together this first edition of compendium, I remember the beginning
of this institute, when I entered the institute as a student in the first batch
of textile technology. As I look back into those days, it amazes me to see how
the institute has grown. From single digit faculty members, 100 students,
few buildings and lot of open space in what appeared to be a huge campus
of 153 acres; now surpassed all limits of horizontal expansion. The increase
in size has brought with it new opportunities and challenges that students, Compendium 2021
faculty and staff have been able to resolve successfully.
I have the pleasure to present before you the ring-side view of all that
happened in the institute since its inception. It covers all major events 13
and interesting occurrences till date. I have generously used photographs;
since pictures convey better than words. I have tried my best to collect
all the information from different internal and external sources including
conversations with the senior faculty members, staff and alumni. However,
it was very difficult to compress all these 35 years into few pages and
present a complete picture of the institute.
