Origination of Schools / Centres

The Centre for Surface Science was established in the year 1995 under the Chemistry Department of the University with Prof. S. P. Moulik as its Director/ Co-ordinator. A research project on "Energetic Surface Chemical and Photo-Chemical Studies on Self Organising Systems" has been sanctioned by the DST (G.O.I.) with a financial assistance of Rs. 46 lakhs.
