Dimapur, April 10 (MExN): From May this year, India’s first Don Bosco University (DBU) is launching Ph.D. programmes in 24 thrust areas. The Ph.D programme covers seven major streams - Electrical & Electronics Engineering (Power Systems, Embedded Systems), Electronics & Communication Engineering (Optoelectronics), Computer Science & Engineering (Natural Language Processing), Physics (Nanophysics, Astrophysics, Forensic Science), Chemical Sciences (Green Chemistry, Computational Chemistry, Drug Discovery), Social Work (Conflict, Peace & Development, Sustainable Community Development), and North East India Studies (Ethnicity, Ideology & Identity Formation, Culture, Religious Beliefs & Post Modern Society in NE India), informed a press note received here today.
The DBU Guwahati Vice Chancellor Dr Stephen Mavely explains: “While graduate education is largely geared to raise the level of employability of students, training them to play leadership roles in providing the services on which a developed society depends, such as chemists, accountants, nurses, social workers, psychologists, museum curators, professors, teachers, and business managers, research is central to our survival and advancement in a digitalized, knowledge-based, global economy.”
Coordinator of research at the University, Professor J. N. Viswakarma stated: “Following the time-hallowed traditions of the great universities of the world, this University seeks to make itself a centre for culture, knowledge, research, Intellectual ferment, for critical thinking and analysis of whatever shapes and impacts human life, a centre that influences thinking, planning and policy making on vital aspects of social life such as religion, culture, society, politics, governance, education, and health care.”
The note stated that prospective candidates could visit the online application site at www.dbuniversity.ac.in. Last date for application online will be May 14. The Ph. D programme course work begins in August 2011.
Currently, DBU has Graduate Programmes in Engineering leading to the B.Tech.

On-line it offers a variety of Post Graduate Programmes in Management (www.dbuglobal.com), the note added.
It also stated from this year, DBU is starting several new courses, both post graduate and graduate – among them M.
