Greetings and a Warm Welcome to IIIT Allahabad!! Education for an individual aims at enrichment, empowerment and enlightenment, infusing the skills of inquiry in the learner, which in turn illuminates the path of acquiring KNOWLEDGE, translating knowledge into WISDOM that leads to a perpetual journey towards TRUTH. When the humanity collectively tried to fight through a global pandemic, in last few years, an altogether changed World has evolved. In this brave new world, one is increasingly convinced that such empirical threat to the future of humanity can be successfully circumvented only through innovations in Sciences and Engineering, with their rapid translation to sustainable technology, however, within the spheres of humanity, ethics and symbiotic co-existence.
