Team IIIT-Delhi
Airtel Delhi Half Marathon 2010 on Nov 21 2010
IIIT-Delhi, a young and fast upcoming research-led Institute of Excellence created by Govt of Delhi, has a team running in the Airtel Half Marathon. The team, besides some young faculty members and students, includes its Director as well. This run is to highlight and seek support for the main goal of the Institute - Research and Innovation.
There are over 2500 engineering colleges in India, with 100+ in NCR alone, but only a handful have ability to conduct serious research and guide PhD students of international quality. Tomorrow's India will need much more research and innovation, and many, many more PhDs. IIIT-Delhi aims to contribute to this effort by focusing on research and innovation, and on PhD program (besides top-quality UG education).
One of the biggest challenges facing all research-led Institutes is to encourage bright students to join the PhD program. At IIIT-Delhi, we have put in place some practices to help in this, and we are succeeding in attracting talent. But we need help to convert the good start into a roaring success in future.
