The IIT-Kanpur Computer Science department has taken the initiative to replicate the US universities' model to connect the alumni in a proactive manner and coax them to engage in their alma mater. It is a move that aims at creating better infrastructure and overcoming the shortage of funds for research.

Prof Sandeep Shukla, from IIT-K Computer Science department, said that alumni funding is important for every institution and it is the trend in the varsities of the USA. The idea was to source funds for R&D as the central government has indicated IITs to find out their own funds for R&D in future.
