International Relations Cell, IIT Kharagpur

A team of talented and dedicated undergraduate students form the International Relations Cell. They work in close camaraderie with the administrative staff to elevate the International Relations Cell to an institute body. The International Relations Cell attempts to provide an impetus and an appropriate platform for dedicated young minds to formulate and implement proposals for creating opportunities for international exchange of students as well as academic staff with high-quality institutions. This means of collaboration with international institutions is fostered through a process of internationalisation of the institute while keeping in tandem with its vision and mission and with the premier objective of providing direct benefit to its students and faculties. The International Relations Cell also works in tandem with the staff and faculty members associated with the International Relations Office on the development and management of a variety of international partnerships, linkages and networks. They are effective in identifying international research and internship programs; student exchange programs; and foreign training programs. The International Relations Cell is a voluntary non-profit organisation. More than any material incentive, there is a spirit of teamwork, the enthusiasm of being a part of an institute body and an insight into the day-to-day world that the members of the International Relations Cell cherish and attempt to preserve.
