9. ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUIRED

During the last CAS-Advisory committee meeting certain additional funds were recommended for the CAS-Program. However no funds were released since then. In view of the continuing requirements as well as additional requirements that have arisen the following list of funding is placed before the committee for discussion.

Items recommended by the Committee in last Meeting (present estimates given )
HPCC Facility	Rs. 15 Lac
Sputter Unit	Rs. 3 Lac
HPGe detector electronics module	Rs. 3 Lac
Monochromator Accessories and nano-voltmeter	Rs. 6 Lac
High Energy Theory Group Computer/Laptops	Rs. 3 Lac
Mass spectrometer accessories and maintenance	Rs. 6 Lac
Teaching Labs	Rs 5 lacs
Travel (International & Domestic travel)	Rs 5 lacs.
Extension of Building	Rs. 50 Lac
New Requirements
Microniser Machine (XRF)	Rs. 5 Lacs
Condensed matter Physics lab (Electric wiring and upgradation of Power supply)	Rs. 6 Lacs
Optical-fibre coupled microscope for existing Raman Spectrograph	Rs. 30 lacs
Microfocus XRF laboratory (lab. Renovation and UPS)	Rs. 3 Lacs
Contribution towards new building	Rs 50 Lacs.
Total	Rs. 190 lacs

Justification of Building funds:

The roof of the Department has undergone severe wear and tear and needs urgent renovation.The space requirements have increased greatly because of the expansion of the Department in terms of number of courses, number of undergraduate and post graduate students and Research students in various research fields. The University has begun the process of approving plans for the new construction. However funding needs to be arranged from several sources in view of resource crunch. Therefore the UGC-CAS may consider making aid for this purpose to act as seed money for the new building.
