for research.
2. One of the
primary author of Research Project
title: "XI Plan Project titled “Establishment of National Institute of Science Education & Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar” included in the XII Five Year Plan as Continuing Scheme – Cost Revision from ` 755.31 crore to ` 857.27 crore"
Funding Agency: DAE
