History

• In 2008 the Ministry of Human Resource Development of India announced eight new Indian Institutes of Technology, and Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar was one of the eight founded in that same year as part of the national expansion.2008 年印度人力资源开发部宣布增设八所印度理工学院，印度理工学院甘地纳加尔分校即是当年在这一全国性扩建中新建的八所之一。

• Operations commenced in 2008 from a temporary campus at Vishwakarma Government Engineering College in Ahmedabad, because the permanent site at Palaj had not yet been acquired or built when the first students arrived.该校于 2008 年从艾哈迈达巴德的维什瓦卡玛政府工程学院临时校区起步办学，因为首批学生入学时帕拉杰永久校址尚未征地或建设。

• The institute was set up under the mentorship of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, which supplied academic guidance while the new university recruited its first faculty and shaped its initial curriculum.该校在印度理工学院孟买分校的指导之下筹建，孟买分校在新校延揽首批师资、拟定初始课程期间提供了学术指引。

• The first batch of students admitted in 2008 entered three bachelor of technology programmes: Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, the founding disciplines of the institution.2008 年录取的首批学生进入化学工程、机械工程与电气工程三个工科学士专业，此三者即为该校的奠基学科。

• The Institute of National Importance status was conferred on Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar by the Government of India, a statutory rank that places it among the institutions of the highest priority in Indian higher education.印度政府授予该校「国家重要机构」法定地位，使其位列印度高等教育中优先级最高的院校之列。

• The legal recognition came through the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act 2011, which formally brought the eight new institutes into the Indian Institutes of Technology framework as institutes of national importance.其法律地位来自《2011 年理工学院（修正）法》，该法正式将八所新建学院纳入印度理工学院体系并列为国家重要机构。

• The Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament of India, on 24 March 2011, the first of the two chambers to approve the measure.《理工学院（修正）法案》于 2011 年 3 月 24 日由印度议会下院人民院通过，人民院是两院中率先批准该项立法的议院。

• The same amendment act received the approval of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament of India, on 30 April 2012, completing the legislative process that designated IIT Gandhinagar an institute of national importance.同一修正法于 2012 年 4 月 30 日获印度议会上院联邦院批准，完成了将甘地纳加尔理工学院列为国家重要机构的立法程序。

• Land for the permanent campus, located on the banks of the Sabarmati river in Palaj village, was provided by the Government of Gujarat on a 99-year lease carrying a token rent of only one rupee.永久校址位于帕拉杰村萨巴尔马蒂河畔，其用地由古吉拉特邦政府以 99 年期租约提供，象征性租金仅为一卢比。

• The allocation of land at Palaj was publicly stated in a 2011 address at the Amalthea technology summit by Narendra Modi, then the Chief Minister of Gujarat, who announced the one-rupee lease arrangement.帕拉杰用地一事由时任古吉拉特邦首席部长纳伦德拉·莫迪在 2011 年科技峰会的演讲中公开宣布，他同时公布了这一卢比租约的安排。

• The institute took formal possession of over 400 acres of land in August 2012, the step that converted the Palaj site from a government promise into the property of the university.该校于 2012 年 8 月正式接收逾 400 英亩土地，此举使帕拉杰校址由政府承诺转为大学实际持有的地产。

• Regular classes and the wider activities of institute life began on the new Palaj campus around July 2015, ending the years of operation from the temporary Ahmedabad premises.常规课程与校园活动在 2015 年 7 月前后于帕拉杰新校园展开，结束了此前多年在艾哈迈达巴德临时校区办学的阶段。
