DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
INTRODUCTION
The department was established in the year 2010 under the assistance of Sr. E. Glitta Sumangali, FSAG, Head of the department with 2 staff members. The main objective is to stimulate the minds and hearts of the rural students’ relentless curiosity and dynamic involvement in Physics. The faculty members are very active in reaching out to students imparting varied effective methods of learning skills.A well-equipped and spacious lab is provided to inspire students to explore creatively hypotheses through experimentation. Remedial measures like special and coaching classes are conducted apart from class hours. The department was uplifted as the post graduate department in the year 2013 and M.Phil in the year 2016.Over the years the Department has steadily grown and currently the staff’ intake is 12 and 3 lab assistants.
VISION
- Imparting quality Physics education to the rural young women
MISSION
- To provide comprehensive understanding of Physics principle
- To train young women think scientifically
- To equip them with practical skills
- To promote ethical principles in physics research and creative activities
- To develop all round personality and social concern
ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES
The Physics association was inaugurated by Dr.A.AlbertIrudayaraj, Associated Professor, Sacred Heart College (Autonamous), Triupattur on 16 September 2019. The association secretary, Joint secretaries from each class are elected by student under the guidance of head of the department, organizing president and all the staff members in every year.The physics association createsleadership quality, organizing capacity and expose talents through conductingnational and international level seminars, conferences, workshops on current topicsby expert key note speakersamong the students. Also the association encouraged students to present and participate in conferences organized by various institutions to develop their research activities.
