The Scholars’ Avenue is the independent student-run campus newspaper of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Now in its seventh year, copies of The Scholars’ Avenue are now delivered to over 7000 students on campus and soft copies are mailed to all the faculty and 10,000 odd alumni. The team is drawn entirely from among the students of the institute, and its mission is to report and analyze events that affect the campus, and to be the voice of the IIT Kharagpur student community. We are a non-profit organization supported by sponsorships (and donations); independent of the administration of IIT Kharagpur.
Each of our issues is a juxtaposition of the informational, the technical and the creative. We report campus events and happenings, function as a public interface between students and the administration, summarize technical advancements taking shape on campus and not the least, print the funnies. Aiming to make this original content accessible to a readership outside Kharagpur, we will soon be uploading our articles in the following categories (please check back later):
- Editorials : Read our editors’ take on the successive issues that have affected IIT Kharagpur’s campus in the recent past.
- National Issues : Learn how the future leaders and citizens of India perceive the world around them and the events in it.
- Interviews : Interact with luminaries such as Prahlad Kakkar, KK, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, and Larry Wall.
- Guest Articles : Read what our featured guests think.
- Careers Avenue : Our stab at increasing the horizons of our readers.
- Tech Avenue : On-campus technical advancements in the spotlight.
- Bhaat Avenue : Browse through our biweekly dose of humour.
Our articles, both serious and fun, have been referenced in national media outlets; most recently in The Indian Express, Hindustan Times and The Telegraph. We are open to content collaboration with organizations of similar nature.
