In 1944, I made up my mind to minimise my comforts and sold my two bungalows,
and gave a donation of Rs.5 lakhs to start "THE MADRAS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY".
Nobody asked me to start this institute by selling away my bungalows.
For my Rolling Mills and Electric Supply Companies, I had to get foreigners
even for erection work and therefore immediately made up my mind to produce
Engineers-Scientists-cum-practical men in India itself, for starting industrial concerns,
or for taking up posts in the Defence departments and replace foreigners in due course.
This has become a 'fait accompli' and the Institute has flourished very well
during the last five years, and I am proud to say that many of our students
have been absorbed in the Defence services, and in big industrial establishments.
I am now just like a Sanyasi, spending my whole time, energy and attention
for the Institute that I have started. Even though I have become blind,
I know from pin to plane-making in the Institute, and I'm guiding the Director and
the staff in the discharge of their duties.
