MHRM Department of Humanities And Social Science, (IIT Kharagpur), Kharagpur

Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, fondly referred to as IITKGP stands out for its priority and focus. It promotes a blend between ancient wisdom and modern knowledge. The institute is inspired by the Indian ethos and rich cultural heritage, like Yoga philosophy.. IITKGP is not just the place to study technology, it is the place where students are taught to dream about the future of technology and beam across disciplines, making differences enough to change the world.

It is a matter of great pride and historical significance that IIT Kharagpur started its journey in the old Hijli Detention Camp in Eastern India, where some of the country’s great freedom fighters toiled and sacrificed their lives for India’s independence. This is possibly one of the very few Institutions of the world that started life in a prison house.
