Seth Balkrishan was a great philanthropist and a paragon of human
virtues. His contribution to the field of education, sports, social
uplift and the spiritual need of the community are legendary in Bhilai
and indeed in the region. His enlightened humanity is beacon of hope in
these difficult years when we as people are experiencing the pains of
moving towards a real national identity, a cultural and an
emotional integration, his example may inspire the faculty and the
future graduates of the BHILAI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY to serve the
industries and people of India to best of their abilities.
The biggest leap
towards modernity and development of the Chhattisgarh region was
the establishment of Bhilai Steel Plant at Bhilai. This single step
proved to be an important factor in the transformation of an agrarian
society into a thriving industrial region. These important developments
necessitated suitably trained personnel. With above in view, some
organizations, industrialists, charitable institutions and philanthropic
societies of the region took an initiative for establishing an
engineering educational institution. For this a trust was formed and
duly registered. The Government of erstwhile Madhya Pradesh accorded the
permission to open a self supporting and self financing engineering
institute and thus in July 1986, Bhilai Institute of Technology came
into existence. |
