  1. WelcomeSecond Meeting of the Advisory Committee CAS Physics in Physics of Nano-Materials and Complex Systems26th March 2009

  2. The First Advisory Committee met on 22nd April 2008. The minutes were circulated to all members No comments received.

  3. Financial Sanctions Non Recurring Equipment Grant of Rs. 54.50 Lakhs Major Equipments Low Temp Cryostat (8 ), RF Sputtering upgradation (10), Impedance Analyzer (10) plus other smaller equipments. All are working and being used. Some output was presented by colleagues yesterday. Recurring for 5 years 28.50 lakhs plus 3 project Fellows (Main highlight here is Website development for course material… presented by AKK ,yesteray)

  4. The support received from UGC by the virtue of being CAS Department • Infrastructure grant of Rs 30 lakhs during 2008-09 All has been utilized and UC will be sent soon. Next installment of Rs 30 lakhs for next year 2009-10 will then be released. The details to be presented by Prof B Bambah • B. 10 UGC Research Fellowships for Meritorious students for CAS Departments in 2007-08 and another 5 in 2008-09 were sanctioned. All the 15 have been appointed . Selection Committee with external members was constituted by VC

  5. The school organized one International Conference (on Meta Materials, during 18-20 Dec 2008) and one National Workshop on Cryogenics and Low Temperature Physics (20-21 March 2009). Of these, the later was entirely and exclusively supported by CAS funds for workshops and conferences. The former did not require any support from CAS since DST funded it entirely. The school also organized a refresher course for college teachers under the Academic Staff College.

  6. The Proceedings of International conference (IBA 2007) organized in the earlier year, Sept 2007, have been published and distributed to all the participants. A copy is on the Table. The proceedings of the second International workshop organized under CAS (i.e. IWPBS during Dec 2007) are also under process of publication.
