IIT Bombay will host the latest lecture in the ‘Prof. N.R. Kamath Distinguished Institute Lecture’ series on campus. The series honours the leadership and contributions of Prof. N.R. Kamath, former Deputy Director, and founding head of the Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Bombay, to the Institute.
The speaker for the upcoming talk is IITB Distinguished Alumnus, Dr. Arun Dravid, Chairman, Emeritus, Jacobs Engineering India Ltd. Dr. Dravid has also served for three years as an external member of the IIT Senate and has taught as a visiting faculty in the past at IIT Bombay and ICT in Mumbai.
Dr. Dravid was awarded the President of India Gold Medal for ranking first amongst all branches of IITs at the B.Tech. Examination in 1966. He then got his MS and Doctorate in Chemical Engineering from MIT, USA, in 1968 and 1970 respectively.
Apart from his long career at the world-renowned Jacobs Engineering India Ltd., Dr. Dravid has pursued a parallel career as an accomplished vocalist of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana. His early training (1955-1961) was under the tutelage of the late Ustad Abdul Majid Khan Saheb (a disciple of the late Ustad Alladiya Khan who was doyen of the Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana). Dr. Dravid’s advanced training (1961-1966), and later intermittently (1976-1999), was from Gaanasaraswati Smt. Kishori Amonkar, who is one of the most cherished vocalists of the Jaipur Gharana.
