2022 - 175 Years of IIT Roorkee | Commemorative Coin

The 7th commemorative coin for the year 2022 was released to celebrate the '175 Years of IIT Roorkee.'

The oldest engineering institution in India, IIT Roorkee was founded as the College of Civil Engineering in British India in 1847 by the Lieutenant-Governor of the North-Western Provinces, James Thomason, in order to train officers and surveyors employed in the construction of the Ganges Canal. In 1854, after the completion of the canal and Thomason's death, it was renamed the Thomason College of Civil Engineering by Proby Cautley, the designer and projector of the canal. It was renamed University of Roorkee in 1949, and again IIT Roorkee in 2001. The institution has 22 academic departments covering Engineering, Applied Sciences, Humanities & Social Sciences and Management programs with an emphasis on scientific and technological education and research.

The main campus in Roorkee has an area of 365 acres. IIT Roorkee has a separate campus of 25 acres in Saharanpur which offers courses in Polymer Science, Process Engineering, Paper Technology & Packaging Technology. In addition to this, a new ten-acre campus has been established in Greater Noida, Knowledge Park II, which was inaugurated on 4 April 2011.
