The Institute’s library moved to a new building on 21st July, 1967, and an event was held to celebrate the inauguration of the Central Library outside the building. During the event the audience was addressed by the Director (Prof. B. Sengupto), Chief Librarian (Mr. Nazir Ahmed), Deputy Director (Prof. S. Sampath) and the Chairman of the Board of Directors (Dr. A. L. Mudaliar) who inaugurated the library and lit a lamp (kuthuvilakku) as part of the opening ceremony. In his speech Prof. B. Sengupto explained the salient features of the building and announced that the services would be extended to the neighbouring industrial organisations and other outsiders without affecting the services to its own academic duty to the Institute. In the image, Dr. A. L. Mudaliar and Prof. B. Sengupto are seen seated on the podium during the proceedings of the inauguration of the Central Library building.
