While Government of India has been generous in its support and has subsidized higher education substantially in the past, the government funding cannot keep pace with inflation as well as developmental goals of the Institute. In order to maintain the IITK’s leadership and excellence, we need to supplement government grants with private funding. IIT Kanpur has therefore embarked on an Annual Gift Program wherein alumni and friends of IITK can contribute any amount, small or large, annually. This will not only bring the much needed resources to IITK but will also help us connect with our well-wishers in a more substantial way.
All donations from within India are 100% deductible under Section 80G of Indian Income Tax.
Donors in US may claim tax rebate by routing their donation through
