This photograph was taken on the occasion of the inauguration of Alakananda Hostel in 1966. It was also published in the April 1966 edition of Campastimes. The article, referring to the river-inspired names of IIT Madras hostels, humorously pointed out, “Yet another river has been added to the road map of our Institute.” The ninth Hostel in the Campus, Alakananda, was inaugurated by Sardarni Sant Sev Ujjal Singh, wife of chief guest Sardar Ujjal Singh (Governor of Madras). The hostel seen in the background is Jamuna. Standing from the left: Mr. V. C.
