�The very concept of technical education in this continent came into being with the setting up of this glorious Institute as Thomason College of Civil Engineering as early as October 19, 1847.

Elevated to the level of University in 1949, its prestigious present day designation of IIT was conferred upon it on September 21, 2001. As identified by our former HRD minister, Dr Murli Manohar Joshi, IIT Roorkee has contributed to the nation�s growth as no other technical Institute has.�

Over the years the human race has undergone a transition owing to rich and diverse experiences and yet continues its struggle to conquer the widening realms of the future. The efforts have been symbolised by the Innovations and Inventions which changed our lives for the better. The 21st Century brought a revolution which was not only limited to Engineering and Technology but had far-reaching effects on territories of Management and Social Welfare.

The advancement of skill sets among the people led visionaries to envisage better times ahead for the entire human family. The path ahead of us is analogous to a rocky terrain appears simple from a distance but calls for amends as we tread towards the zenith. Cognizance 2014, the Annual Technical Festival of IIT Roorkee, highlights the need to imagine and engineer our efforts under the theme .Imagineering Change
