Ph. D. Theses - Completed

At the time of Silver Jubilee the department had produced only seven Ph.D. theses. We wrote in our SJS that the department started as a center of geological research but, soon, owing to great demand of trained geologist in the state and the country , it changed to a teaching department. Research scholars were not available as most of the students got alluring jobs, no sooner they passed their examination. Many of them are holding key positions in various organizations. We are really happy and proud of this situation. Here we are remained of remark by an eminent educationist that "under the prevailing condition in our country number of research scholars in department is inversely proportional to its employment potentialities". Subsequently, the situation reversed and interest in Ph.D. degree increased that resulted in study increase in output of Ph.D. theses.
