Professor Kartic C. Khilar Distinguished Fellowship

Alumni and friends of Professor Khilar have launched an initiative to institute an annual "Professor Kartic C. Khilar Distinguished Fellowship" in the Chemical Engineering Department, IIT Bombay. This is to be funded by a corpus of about Rs 45,00,000 (about 100,000 USD). This is an invitation to contribute to the endowment for the establishment of this memorial fellowship.  read more »

Awards given by the Department

The Manudhane Excellence Awards have been made possible through a donation from the Indira Foundation, a trust promoted by a 1975 alumnus of the Chemical Engineering Department, Mr. Avi Nash. The individual awards are named after his parents Mr. R. G. Manudhane and Mrs. Indira Manudhane and are intended to encourage excellence in learning, teaching and research (particularly applied research) in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology – Bombay.
