The IIT Bombay was established in 1958.
IIT institutes were
designed to provide the necessary dynamism and flexibility of organisation in
the light of the expanding knowledge and changing socio-economic requirements
of modern society. Planning for the institute at Mumbai began in 1957 and the first
batch of 100 students was admitted in 1958. The institute campus at Powai
extends over 200 hectares and is situated in picturesque surroundings with the
Vihar and the Powai lakes on either side and green hills in and around. In
1961, by an Act of Parliament, the institute was declared an institution of
national importance and was accorded the status of a university with the power
to award its own degrees and diplomas.
IIT Bombay was established with the cooperation and participation
of the UNESCO, utilising the contribution of the government of the then USSR.
The institute received substantial assistance in the form of equipment and
expert services from the USSR through the UNESCO from 1956 to 1973. It received
59 experts and 14 technicians from several reputed institutions in the USSR.
The UNESCO also offered fellowships, numbering 27, for training Indian faculty
members in the USSR. Under the bilateral agreement of 1965, the Government of
USSR provided additional assistance to supplement the Aid Programme already
received by the institute through UNESCO.
