This photograph was taken on the 20th Convocation Day of IIT Madras in 1983. Prof. H. N. Mahabala and Prof. H. C. Radhakrishna are seen at the front of the procession. The academic procession is a tradition where dignitaries wear convocation robes and enter the convocation hall before the event proceeds. Seen in the photograph are, (wearing a white turban and spectacles) chief guest and President of India Mr. Giani Zail Singh and to his right Chairman of the Board of Governors of IIT Madras Mr. A. Sivasailam. Also visible in the photograph are Minister of Health Dr. H. V. Hande and Union Minister for Education and Culture Mrs. Sheila Kaul. Towards the left of the photograph, (wearing a brown saree) is Mrs. Indira Sivasailam, wife of Chairman of the Board of Governors of IIT Madras Mr. A. Sivasailam. A videographer can be seen to the left bottom corner of the photograph. We have reason to believe that the event was recorded on tape.
