Mehta Family Foundation
The School is supported by the Bhupat and Jyoti Mehta Family Foundation (MFF), one of the largest philanthropic collaborators in higher education in India. Established in 1996 by Rahul Mehta and his siblings in honour of their parents, the Foundation invests in science, technology and higher education as a path to greater economic prosperity.
MFF's flagship effort is a collaboration with the IITs to create new schools in emerging, interdisciplinary fields such as biosciences, bioengineering, health technology, data science, artificial intelligence and sustainability. Beginning in 2006 with the School of Biosciences at IIT Madras, it has supported schools at several IITs, including two at IIT Indore: this School and the Mehta Family School of Sustainability. The Foundation provides resources for infrastructure, faculty, exchange programs and research collaborations with leading universities abroad, and sponsors the CARE conferences.
