General Causes
Institute Development: Endowment
We are looking to establish an endowment fund for development activities of the institution and also act as a corpus for our future endeavours. IITG’s endowment fund will be intended to support its scholars with the resources needed to advance knowledge, research and innovation. As such, endowment funds shall be used for Institute activities including aiding student’s education, research, campus renovation etc.
Student Aid
IIT Guwahati houses the best of brains in the country in its undergraduate and graduate programs. However, some of these students are financial constrained from pursuing higher education at IIT Guwahati. Student Aid of the Institute focuses on lending a helping hand to these meritorious students in fulfilling their ambition of pursuing higher education.
Batch Legacy
It is a very thoughtful way to honour one’s alma mater. This is a call to get together with one’s batchmates and support the batch legacy project. The project could be one of your dream projects associated with the upkeep and betterment of the Institute.
Emergency Fund
This fund is meant to meet the pressing exigencies mainly due to medical emergencies of students, faculty, staff members including temporary outsourced staff (security, cleaning, canteen, hostel). It is a great way to express your solidarity with the IIT Guwahati family.
