5.5.2 DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY Microbes are playing important role in the bioprocess of all living things and maintain homeostasis of the universe. Without microbes, one cannot imagine such a biologically balanced and diverse universe; rather our earth would have placed as a barren planet. As the microbial activities are so diverse, the microbiology programme is a multidisciplinary subject, which will have the roots of life science, environmental science, and engineering. Traditional microbiology is considered to be an important area of study in biology since it has enormous potential and vast scope in fermentation, bioremediation and biomedical technology. But the recent developments from human microbiome project, metagenomics and microbial genome projects has expanded its scope and potential in the next generation drug design, molecular pathogenesis, phylogeography, production of smart biomolecules, etc. Modern Microbiology has expanded its roots in genome technology, nanobiotechnology, green energy (biofuel) technology, bioelectronics etc. Considering recent innovations and rapid growth of microbiological approaches and applications in human and environmental sustainability, the M.Sc. Microbiology curricula is designed to enlighten the students in basics of Microbiology to recent developments. The Ph.D. Microbiology was started during July 2013 under Department of Microbiology.

5.7.9 UGC CENTRE FOR MARITIME STUDIES The UGC Centre for Maritime Studies (CMS) was established during the academic year 2014-15 by the University Grants Commission under its Area Studies Programme. The CMS would focus on promoting research on non-strategic dimensions of India’s maritime interests. Considerable research is undertaken on strategic affairs (maritime security; naval strategic partnerships; naval capacity-building; joint military/security exercises) by several maritime/Indian Ocean institutions in India; however, nonstrategic issues, identified below, have received less than the desired research attention. In the contemporary era, non-traditional maritime security threats pose far more serious and greater challenge than the conventional military threats to a coastal state. India, along with other maritime countries, is facing serious and recurring nonconventional maritime threats from several sources such as maritime terrorism, illegal trade, drug trafficking, floods and environmental degradation. All these problems can be tackled only through highly coordinated strategies among the concerned littoral countries. India’s large coastline and island possessions in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea as also its sovereign maritime domain of 2.2 million square kilometers in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) make the country most vulnerable to these formidable threats. To safeguard maritime zones and resources, India has to be constantly vigilant to ensure the safety of sea lines of communication (SLOCs) and to maintain peace and stability in the IOR. With this as the background, the CMS would focus its research and teaching activities on the challenges and opportunities for the coastal states in general and India’s maritime security in particular.
Thrust Areas : 1. India’s maritime jurisdiction, resources, cooperation and conflicts with maritime Neighbours 2. Threats to India’s maritime security: traditional and non-traditional; national and multilateral strategies for countering the threats 3. Building maritime connectivity and development of maritime infrastructure, national maritime development policy, progress and problems of execution and foreign collaborative ventures 4. India and Indian Ocean Security Regime 5. India and the Regional Initiatives: IORA, BIMSTEC, BCIM etc.
