To teach with passion, to seek and radiate new knowledge with vigour, and to participate in building our nation's digital base with commitment and integrity.
Most of the government funds for research projects disallow spending any funds for foreign travels. However, faculty needs to travel to international conference.
We already have Research-I foundation that enables us to spend travel funds for international travels to conferences and research missions. However, with increasing number of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and PhD students, this fund is falling short, and we need to create a corpus that can generate enough yearly interests to accommodate the increased need for travel and research missions. We also, would like to supplement initial salaries of deserving outstanding faculty and PhD students to attract them to the department.
Some exploratory research funding on a competitive basis from faculty, students, and postdoctoral fellows can also be funded.
To raise Rs 100Cr over three years (2019-2022).

Giving back to your alma mater is a common way to help the institute that educated you in the past.
World over, academic institutes are seeing reduced government funding, and increased reliance on alumni funding.
We have had been lucky in the past, to receive generous alumni funds which helped us create Research-I foundation grants, build two of our departmental buildings, and also spurred several other activities targeted to improving the department, and its faculty, and students.
However, with reduction in government funding, increased exchange rate, the increase in numbers of faculty/graduate students it has become necessary to request another round of fund raising.
We will be grateful for all donations of any denomination.
If anyone is interested in donating with a specific purpose --- please contact the department head at head@cse.iitk.ac.in
Given the rapid growth, and high level of productivity in the past several years -- we are facing following issues that need to be solved in order for us to sustain the growth and be more productive to reach the heights once occupied by our department as India's top most Computer Science destination. This requires resources.
