History

• Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who led India from 1947 to 1964, sought to make the country a leader in science and technology, and his administration established fourteen regional engineering colleges between 1959 and 1965.1947 年至 1964 年领导印度的总理贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁希望使该国成为科技强国，其政府在 1959 至 1965 年间设立十四所地区工程学院。

• The regional engineering college at Tiruchirappalli was established in 1964 under the affiliation of the University of Madras as a co-operative venture between the central and state governments.蒂鲁吉拉伯利的地区工程学院于 1964 年设立，隶属马德拉斯大学，由中央政府与邦政府合作兴办。

• Its founder was Prof. P. S. Manisundaram, an educationist who had graduated from Loyola College in Chennai and the Technical University of Nova Scotia, now part of Dalhousie University in Canada.其创办人为 P. S. 马尼孙达拉姆教授，这位教育家毕业于金奈的洛约拉学院与加拿大新斯科舍技术大学（今属达尔豪西大学）。

• Manisundaram served as principal of the college from its formation in 1964 until 1982, giving the institution continuity through its first two decades.马尼孙达拉姆自 1964 年建校起担任院长直至 1982 年，使该校在最初二十年间保持了延续性。

• In the early 1980s the state government found it difficult to administer these colleges from Madras and divided their oversight between the Bharathidasan University and Bharathiar University regions.1980 年代初，邦政府认为从马德拉斯管理这些学院颇为繁难，遂把其监管分归巴拉蒂达桑大学与巴拉蒂尔大学两个区域。

• In 1982 the college was incorporated under the Bharathidasan University umbrella, with Manisundaram as that university's inaugural vice-chancellor, and it awarded degrees under that name for the next twenty years except for a brief period under Anna University in 2001 and 2002.1982 年，该学院并入巴拉蒂达桑大学，马尼孙达拉姆出任该大学首任校长；此后二十年除 2001 与 2002 年短暂归安娜大学管辖外，均以该大学名义授予学位。

• The forty-year collaboration between the central and state governments over the regional engineering colleges was then dissolved, and the central government upgraded all of them to National Institutes of Technology.此后中央与邦政府就地区工程学院长达四十年的合作宣告结束，中央政府把所有地区工程学院升格为国立理工学院。

• In 2002 the minister of human resource development Murli Manohar Joshi decided to upgrade the regional engineering colleges to National Institutes of Technology.2002 年，人力资源发展部长穆尔利·马诺哈尔·乔希决定把地区工程学院升格为国立理工学院。

• At the end of that same year the institution was granted deemed university status with the approval of the University Grants Commission and the All India Council for Technical Education.同年年底，该校在获得大学拨款委员会与全印技术教育委员会的批准后取得「视同大学」地位。

• It was then renamed the National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli and began awarding degrees in its own name after two decades of doing so through a parent university.该校随后更名为国立理工学院蒂鲁吉拉伯利分校，在经由母体大学授位二十年后，开始以自身名义授予学位。

• In 2007 the National Institutes of Technology Act, later known as the NITSER Act, declared the National Institutes of Technology to be Institutes of National Importance on the lines of the Indian Institutes of Technology.2007 年通过的《国立理工学院法》（后称 NITSER 法）宣布国立理工学院为「国家重要机构」，其地位类比印度理工学院。

• The institute's first convocation under its own name followed the grant of deemed university status, so that degrees conferred from 2003 onwards bear the name of the National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli.该校以自身名义举行的首届毕业典礼在获得「视同大学」地位之后举行，因此自 2003 年起授予的学位均冠以国立理工学院蒂鲁吉拉伯利分校之名。

• For the first two decades after 1964 the college awarded degrees through the University of Madras and later through Bharathidasan University, rather than in its own name.1964 年之后的头二十年里，该学院通过马德拉斯大学、后又通过巴拉蒂达桑大学授予学位，而非以自身名义授位。
