During their Silver Jubilee Reunion, the Class of 2000 announced a remarkable, ₹100 Crore pledge to their alma mater—marking the highest-ever contribution by a single graduating batch across academic institutions in India.

This historic commitment reflects the batch’s enduring gratitude to IIT Kanpur and their shared belief in the institute’s role as a leader in interdisciplinary education, innovation, and societal impact. The pledge will support the establishment of the Millennium School of Technology and Society (MSTAS), envisioned as a hub for integrating technology, policy, and social transformation.

As alumni from across the globe returned to campus to celebrate 25 years of their journey, the reunion became more than a moment of nostalgia—it stood as a powerful reaffirmation of responsibility, leadership, and giving back to the institution that shaped them.
