The funds from UNESCO came as Roubles from the then Soviet Union. In 1961 Parliament decreed the IITs as ‘Institutes of National Impor-tance'. Since then, IITB has grown from strength to strength to emerge as one of the top technical universities in the world.

The institute is recognised worldwide as a leader in the field of The institute is recognised worldwide as a leader in the field of engineering education and research. Reputed for the outstanding calibre of students graduating from its undergraduate and postgrad-uate programmes, the institute attracts the best students from the country for its bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.

About Protolith...

Coming from the amalgamation of two Greek words – ‘protos’ Coming from the amalgamation of two Greek words – ‘protos’ for first and ‘lithos’ which means rock, protolith means the original rock from which the current existing rock was created. It signifies a beginning, the dawn of something new and exciting. It signifies the start of something wonderful that will be remembered for days to come. And it is with this belief that we, the students of IIT Bombay, are proud to be bringing you the first national level festival of the IITB Earth Sciences Department, protolith.IITB Earth Sciences Department, protolith. The field of geology is rarely known outside the circles of those who deal with the mysteries of the Earth. protolith is aimed at bring-ing this science to the fore and motivating the youth of our country to embark upon careers in it. However, it is not just a means to in-crease the awareness about the geosciences. It is also an opportuni-ty for the current students to showcase their skill and talent in vari-ous competitions and challenging tasks. This festival is also intend-ed to bridge the gap between the industry and the academics by in-creasing the interaction between them. Most importantly though, protolith is envisioned to provide a platform for young minds to mingle and come up with ideas that we believe can revolutionize this amazing branch of study. It symbolizes our hope that there is no barrier between disciples of this field and our hope that together we can be stronger and better than what we are alone.
