NEW DELHI: The office of Academic Outreach and New Initiatives at IIT Delhi conducted Anveshan 2025: Innovation and Exploration Across Disciplines, a unique initiative aimed to reach out to college and university students across India showcasing the institute’s strengths in addressing societal challenges across domains of Engineering, Sciences, Humanities, and Management.
