INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (BANARAS HINDU UNIVERSITY) VARANASI

The Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University) (IIT BHU) Varanasi owes its existence to Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, the founder of the first residential University of modern India, Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Engineering education in BHU started in 1919 with the establishment of Banaras Engineering College (BENCO). The next stage of development saw the establishment of College of Technology (TECHNO) and College of Mining & Metallurgy (MINMET). In 1968, the erstwhile engineering colleges of BHU, namely BENCO, MINMET and TECHNO, were merged to form the Institute of Technology (IT-BHU). IT-BHU became IIT (BHU) Varanasi on June 29, 2012, by an Act of Parliament. Its circular gear shaped logo in violet colour has a shield in the middle, which has a globe with a revolving planet, sun and lightning. Atop the shield ‘योगः कर्मसु कौशालम्’ in Sanskrit is written. It is surrounded by a border wherein its name in Devanagari and English are written. At the button on a banner its motto ‘संस्कार हि शिक्षा’ meaning ‘Education is Character’ is written.
