My Institute - Now and Then


Well...Today, I got some old ( and I mean really old) photos of my institute. Its just beautiful to see that nothing much has changed over here. Here are some snaps of my institute - NIT Rourkela, now and then.


A view of my institute taken from a nearby hill... Doesnt it seem like Heaven?

Thats my dept building. BTW, my dept is mechanical engg.



Well...thats the workshop, where we mech guys spend most our time working on machines and tools :(
Thats the computer center...won my first multiplayer gaming competition here :)

Main insti building at night

Side Gate to the Institute

Main gate - connects us to the outside world

And now taking a dive into the past,


Institute Main Building, 1966 - Imagine a building of these dimensions in '66 :0

Institue Main Gate, 1971 - Read the quote below it...cool, huh?

The audio-visual hall being constructed,1971 ...We watch movies here now...

The dreaded workshop, 1971...Grrrr

The Hydraulics lab, 1966 ...Believe me, it still looks the same now...

Got some more wonderful pictures but will post them later...
