In the absence of a detailed compendium of most innovations in recent times from IITs, this book is unique It is written in simple language for the common man. While there are books published on IITs, the USP of this book is the story telling format which is easy on the common reader outside the IIT system At a time when India is competing globally and our educational institutions are working hard to get global rankings, this book will truly showcase their work
