Though this information pertains to the Ministry of Human Resource Development, I am submitting this request to you on account of the importance. I am an Alumnus of IIT Delhi - being from the first graduating batch in 1966. I was at the AGM of the alumni Association of IIT Delhi today and was deeply distressed to note that the administration is in some kind of suspended animation for the past four months on account of the lack of decision about the Director of this premier national Institution. 1. Is it not a fact that the IIT Delhi is a premier national Institute. 2. Have the Alumni of this Institute done the nation proud. 3. Is the role of the Director pivotal in the governance and administration of the Institute 4. Is the government of India not concerned about the fate of the Director whose resignation has not yet been accepted and the administration is unable to be effective in the absence of a clear cut decision. 5. Will the administration of an Institute of National Importance be allowed to languish on account of inadequate decision making capability in the Ministry, 6. What steps are being taken to ensure that this is not allowed to happen 7. How much longer must the Institute wait before it gets a functional head - either in the shape of the incumbent who has resigned, or his successor. In the interest of the Institute I hope for a quick positive response and quick fair action.
