HCL founder Shiv Nadar to head IIT-Kharagpur's board

New Delhi: Shiv Nadar, founder of software major HCL, was appointed the chairman of the board of governors of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, a statement from the company said on Thursday.

IIT-Kharagpur is the only engineering institution from India listed among top 500 universities worldwide in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University's 'Academic Ranking of World Universities'.

"It is an honor to be entrusted the responsibility to further advance the global stature this great institution has built already," said Nadar.
