About Department:
The department of Physics was created in 2018 on consequent upon the decision taken by the Academic Council vide Item No. B-5 in its 474th meeting held on 12.12.2017 and the provision laid down under Clause-1 of Chapter-XIX of the Statutes.
The department offers M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes in Physics. The M.Sc. programme started in academic session 2017-18 and Ph.D. programme started in academic session 2019-2020. Presently fifteen students are pursuing PG programmes. Seven Ph.D. students are recipient of JRF/SRF from CSIR-UGC. The department is involved in teaching courses of M.Sc. & Ph.D. programmes, and UG courses of other constituent colleges of the University.
The faculty members of the department have published over seventy research papers in journals of National and International repute, many popular science articles in newspapers and books for undergraduate students. The faculty is recipient of ICAR sponsored Best Teacher Award of university, DAAD and INSA fellowships. The faculty has also presented papers in various conferences, symposia and workshops. The department is carrying out external funded agency project. The faculty and students of the department are involved in research activities on application of physics in agriculture, synthesis of smart materials and their characterization using advanced techniques for energy storage devices, gas sensors for sensing hazardous and greenhouse gases, nano-fertilizers, and assessment of food products, etc.

Awards and Recognitions
Dr. I. S. Sheoran was awarded Hari Om Ashram award for team research, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai award and NAAS Fellow : -
Infrastructural Development
- The department has a Botanical Garden spread over an area of 10.5 acres with rich biodiversity. The department has done pioneering work in conserving the indigenour local species of plant and also introduction of exotic specis (approximately 600) from other places. Various native and exotic trees, shurbs, herbs, climbers, aquatic plants, cacti and succulents have been collected and maintained for imparting knowledge to our students as well as related scientists. Flower shows are organized from time to time.
- The department has 9 screening houses near the college building.
- The department has developed 20 salinity micro plots to determine phyto-remediating potential of halophytic flora and 24 lysimeter have been installed in field to determine the transpirational potential of trees having importannce in bio-drainage.
- Experimental farms spread over 25 acres have been developed to evaluate bio-drainage potential of trees to improve waterlogged soils.
Package and Practices
system having Eucalyptus tereticornis as a strip plantation should be established on the water logged soils. In this model north to south field boundary is converted into 2.6 m wide and 45 cm high raised bund on which two rows of trees can be planted. The intervening space is left for the crops with minimum of shade effect due to the north-south direction of bunds� initiated by Drs. O.P. Toky, Rajiv Angrish and J.C. Kaushik included in the HAU Package of Practices.
