The Research Centre in Physics, inaugurated in November 1999, serves as a hub for dynamic research initiatives. Our focus areas encompass cutting-edge research in Material Science, with specialized emphasis on Thin film Gas Sensors, Solar Energy Materials, Photocatalytic Applications of transition metal oxide films, Applications of Magnetic materials, and Optics. The centre has an impressive portfolio of international research publications, solidifying its standing in the global academic community.

To date, the Research Centre has successfully guided four scholars to the completion of their Ph.D. degrees. Currently, the centre is actively mentoring eight research scholars who are ardently engaged in research activities on diverse fronts leading to the attainment of their Ph.D. degrees.Additionally,many of our postgraduate students have successfully published their project work in reputable journals

Best Practices:

1. Energy Conservation Activities/Training Programmes
2. Center for State and National Level Physics talent tests.
3. Interaction opportunities with eminent scientists/academicians for students.

Goals:
The primary objective of the energy conservation activities is to plan and organize comprehensive programs focused on solar energy and other non-conventional energy sources. The awareness program emphasizes the need for energy conservation, facilitated by the sale of LED bulbs and tubes fabricated by students.

Context:
The energy audit conducted in 2016, led by Physics faculty Dr. Krishnaprasad P Sand Dr. Riju C Issac, highlighted the significance of an effective energy management plan for the organization to minimize energy costs. One of the key recommendations was the replacement of all incandescent lamps with LED lights. Subsequently, the department initiated efforts to train students in the fabrication of LED tubes and bulbs.

Practice:
An awareness program on "Energy Conservation" and "Non-renewable Energy Sources." The syllabus was adapted to include courses based on these themes.
Training sessions for students and staff on LED tube and bulb fabrication.
Sale of fabricated tubes to stakeholders, thereby promoting the need for transitioning to energy-efficient lighting technology.
Training for students in the fabrication of solar lamps and the installation of solar panels.
Observation of Energy Conservation Day.
These practices not only educates students and staff about energy conservation but also engages them actively in contributing to sustainable practices through hands-on training and community involvement. The initiative aligns with broader environmental goals and encourages a shift towards energy-efficient technologies.
