Department History

Date of Establishment of the Department: 1963

The department of Physics was established in 1963 being one of the first to be functional in the new university. The first batch of postgraduate students passed out in 1965. The aim of the department throughout its existence for more than five decades has been to provide up to date instruction to our students to meet the requirement of trained manpower in physics for teaching, research, engineering and other vocations. It has established itself as a center of excellence with well-qualified faculty and modern teaching, computer and research laboratories. All teachers in the department have doctorate degree and many of them have been trained abroad. The department also has well-established programs for research leading to M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in specialisation Radiation Physics, Theoretical Physics, Optical Physics, Material Science, Astrophysics, etc. It has been recognized as a department for special assistance (DRS and DSA-I, DSA-II, DSA-III and now under CAS-II) since 1986 by the UGC under its special assistance programme SAP and under COSIST program of UGC for strengthening of infrastructure.

Radiation Physics, Material Science and Theoretical Physics form major thrust areas of research in the department, and grants have also been received by individual members for several research projects from different funding agencies such as DST, CSIR, NSC, state Govt.

ਵਿਭਾਗ ਦਾ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ

ਭੌਤਿਕ ਵਿਗਿਆਨ ਵਿਭਾਗ ਯੂਨੀਵਰਸਿਟੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲੇ ਕਾਰਜਸ਼ੀਲ ਹੋਏ ਵਿਭਾਗਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਇੱਕ ਵਿਭਾਗ ਹੈ ਜੋ 1963 ਵਿੱਚ ਸਥਾਪਿਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ। ਪੋਸਟ ਗ੍ਰੈਜੂਏਟ ਵਿਦਿਆਰਥੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਪਹਿਲਾ ਬੈਚ 1965 ਵਿੱਚ ਪਾਸ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਨਿਕਲਿਆ। ਪੰਜ ਦਹਾਕਿਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਜਿਆਦਾ ਦੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਵਿਭਾਗ ਦਾ ਉਦੇਸ਼ ਵਿਦਿਆਰਥੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਧੁਨਿਕ ਦਿਸ਼ਾ-ਨਿਰਦੇਸ਼ ਪ੍ਰਦਾਨ ਕਰਕੇ ਭੌਤਿਕ ਵਿਗਿਆਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ, ਖੋਜ, ਇੰਜੀਨੀਅਰਿੰਗ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਕਿੱਤਿਆਂ ਲਈ ਸਿੱਖਿਅਤ ਮਨੁੱਖੀ ਤਾਕਤ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰਾ ਕਰਨਾ ਹੈ। ਵਿਭਾਗ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਉੱਚ ਯੋਗਤਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਫੈਕਲਟੀ, ਆਧੁਨਿਕ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਰ, ਕੰਪਿਊਟਰ ਅਤੇ ਖੋਜ ਲੈਬੋਰੇਟਰੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਉੱਤਮਤਾ ਦੇ ਕੇਂਦਰ (Centre of Excellence CAS) ਵੱਜੋਂ ਸਥਾਪਿਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ। ਵਿਭਾਗ ਦੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਅਧਿਆਪਕਾਂ ਕੋਲ ਪੀਐਚ.ਡੀ. ਦੀ ਡਿਗਰੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਵਿਦੇਸ਼ਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਿਖਲਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹਨ। ਵਿਭਾਗ ਦੇ ਕੋਲ ਖੋਜ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਥਿਊਰੈਟੀਕਲ ਫਿਜਿਕਸ, ਆਪਟੀਕਲ ਫਿਜਿਕਸ, ਮੈਟੀਰੀਅਲ ਸਾਇੰਸ, ਐਸਟ੍ਰੋ ਫਿਜਿਕਸ ਆਦਿ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੁਹਾਰਤ ਨਾਲ ਪੀਐਚ.ਡੀ ਤੇ ਐਮ.ਫਿਲ ਦੀਆਂ ਡਿਗਰੀਆਂ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਚੰਗੇ ਸਥਾਪਿਤ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ ਵੀ ਹਨ। ਬੁਨਿਆਦੀ ਢਾਂਚੇ ਦੀ ਮਜ਼ਬੂਤੀ ਲਈ ਯੂ.ਜੀ.ਸੀ ਦੁਆਰਾ 1986 ਤੋਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ SAP ਅਤੇ COSIST ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ ਤਹਿਤ, 'ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਲਈ ਵਿਭਾਗ' (DRS and DSA-I, DSA-II, DSA-III and now under CAS-II) ਦੀ ਮਾਨਤਾ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੈ।

ਵਿਭਾਗ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੇਡੀਏਸ਼ਨ ਫਿਜਿਕਸ, ਮੈਟੀਰੀਅਲ ਸਾਇੰਸ ਅਤੇ ਥਿਊਰੈਟੀਕਲ ਫਿਜਿਕਸ ਪ੍ਰਮੁੱਖ ਖੋਜ ਖੇਤਰ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਫੈਕਲਟੀ ਮੈਂਬਰਾਂ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਵਿਅਕਤੀਗਤ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਅਲੱਗ ਅਲੱਗ ਫੰਡਿੰਗ ਏਜੰਸੀਆਂ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ DST, CSIR, NSC, ਰਾਜ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਆਦਿ ਤੋਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਖੋਜ-ਪ੍ਰੋਜੈਕਟਾਂ ਲਈ ਗ੍ਰਾਂਟ ਵੀ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕੀਤੀ ਗਈ ਹੈ।
