Since then, the organisation has been formalised and recently IIT_LC was recognised by the UK Charity Commission and has been registered as such. IIT_LC plans to raise funds for charitable work through sponsorships and donations. IIT_LC has already got sponsorships from few respected organisations including the Imperial College of Science,Technology and Medicine."
