The Cultural Council of IIT Kanpur provides plethora of opportunities for students to explore and pursue their hobbies. It is interesting to know that even in the 1960’s, when the institute was being established, life was not just studies, lecture halls and labs. The students used to produce their own plays, have parties, play music and dance.
During the first 5 years(1960-65), an annual cultural day was organized by students. Here are a few glimpses of the drama days from that era.
