Addressing students at IIT-B campus on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a grant of Rs 1,000 crore for bolstering its infrastructure, and said: "You are fortunate to have lived in a campus in Mumbai where there is a lake on one side and hills on the other. Sometimes you have the company of crocodiles and leopards."

The PM, accompanied by HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar, unveiled a new building for the institute's departments of energy and environmental sciences.

"It's still August, but the mood is indigo," PM Modi said, referring to IIT-B's cultural festival 'Mood Indigo', usually held in December.
