Governmental Institutional support:
Department of Science & Technology (DST), Ministry of Science & Technology, New Delhi was established in May 1971, with the objective of promoting new areas of Science & Technology and to play the role of a nodal department for organizing, coordinating and promoting S&T activities in the country. In recent years, great concern has been expressed about lack of infrastructure facilities for imparting good quality higher education and conducting advanced research. While the departments in universities and other higher educational institutions had made some impact on the development of teaching and research through their own efforts, a stage had reached where they needed selective strengthening of their infrastructure for post-graduate education and research in emerging areas. Considering all these factors, The Department of Science & Technology, started a scheme "Fund for Improvement of S&T Infrastructure in Universities and Higher Educational Institutions (FIST)" in 2000-2001. DST – FIST Sponsored Post Graduate Department of Physics PG Dept. of Physics has been identified for support at level I as “DST-FIST Sponsored, Dept of Science and Technology Department, A detailed profile of the Dept., along with the extensive and intensive academic and research activities of the dept. during the last five years was submitted to DST New Delhi. The proposals were presented before the Advisory Board of FIST on September 10, 2008 finally at Kolkata which was duly accepted. A grant of Rs. 30 Lac has been sanctioned by DST for research and development: 1.) Rs. 5 Lac for Research and Equipment. 2.) Rs. 5 Lac for Networking and Setting up of Computer Lab. 3.) Rs. 15 Lac for the Equipment in M.Sc. Labs. 4.) Rs. 5 Lac for Books and Departmental Library. The dynamic researchers in this Dept. will focus on: i) Solid State Physics; with particular reference to Solar Energy: development of cheaper and more efficient instruments and methodologies as well as development of materials for solar cells. ii) Thin Film Unit which will give a new boost to research in this vital field. Materials for Optical Memory Devices will also be devised. iii) Nuclear Physics. Besides other research areas, this exercise will be forgrounded on Air, Water, Soil Pollution-related issues. This exercise will play a highly socially relevant contribution

DST-FIST Sponsored PG Department of Physics is a dynamic centre for research at the frontiers of Physics. The emphasis at the curricular level is to give a broad coverage of most common branches of physics in keeping with the inter-disciplinary nature of the subject today. The Department is well equipped with a wide range of sophisticated instruments. The Department admits students to a three year degree programs in B.Sc., and a two year program in M.Sc. Physics.
