“The Seven Pillars of Wisdom” was the brainchild of the former Vice-Chancellor Mr. Devdas Chhotray, who called upon the goodwill of his friend and architect Mr. Rajan Saklani to oversee the whole range of works from drawing and design to the execution of the plan. The design of the Seven Pillars of Wisdom was inspired by Mr. Chhotray’s reading of T. E. Lawrence’s autobiography Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
