Highlights of the work completed since Dec 2008 as Director NISER

I assumed the charge of Director NISER in December 2008. At that time NISER was

running as a project of IOP and the IOP infrastructure was used for conducting classes of

the first batch of students. After I took over the charge I am trying to streamline the

functioning of NISER in terms of the infrastructure, formulating policies required for an

academic institute, creating research facilities for the state of the art research, finalizing

course structure and curriculum etc. The following are some highlights of the work done,

(I) INFRASTRUCTURE

(a) Created infrastructure in terms of NISER building of 5000 sq m with the help of

DCS&EM Mumbai at IOP campus.
