The initiative, headed by Devendra Jalihal, comprises other delegations, including Manindra Agrawal, Director, IIT Kanpur, and Dy. Chief Patron, Manekshaw Center of Excellence, and Lt Gen Dr. Subrata Saha (Retd.), Executive Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of the Manekshaw Center of Excellence.

According to a press statement issued by the Institute, Lt. Gen. Dr. Subrata Saha (retd.) and Prof. Sukumar Nandi, Dean of Administration, IIT Guwahati, conceived the idea of setting up this nodal centre for collaboration among IITs.
