l
Management competencies have gained wider importance in the business organization today. These
competencies include the importance of skills, knowledge and the behavioral capacity to act
appropriately. To develop competencies one must be introduced to knowledge and have the opportunity
to practice ones skills. Of the various employment industries, tourism and hospitality occupy a
prominent position which require the position of transferable generic skills in the areas of leadership,
communication, strategic thinking and decision making. A sound manpower plan with sharp focus on
competency management is that which facilitates organizational effectiveness. Accordingly the
placement of right person with right competencies at the right place is essential winning competitive
advantage in todays dynamic context. With this backdrop, the present research aims to examine the
existing provision to tourism education at higher level in context of Travel Agencies and tour operating
sector of India and to find the qualitative gap in terms of importance vis--vis performance of each
management competency among the tourism professionals in the industry. The study also examines
the impact of management competencies on organization productivity and to suggest ways and options
to reduce and bridge the gap, thereby improving the existing tourism education and training in India.

Department of Botany
The Department of Botany was established in 1998 to train the students desirous of learning,
understanding, teaching and counselling various aspects of plant sciences. Courses were designed to
take care of both the classical and contemporary aspects of Botany.
Within a short span of its establishment, the Department earned a name as an important centre of
studies in Botany in the country. In the initial stages, the students had the option of specializing in
Cytogenetics, Mycology, Ecology or Limnology. The Department now has both the expertise and
infrastructure to help students opt for getting advanced training in many other areas of specialization
such as Molecular genetics, Biosystematics, Reproductive biology, Plant pathology, Mushroom science,
Tissue culture and Bryology.
With the help of grants received from various funding agencies (UGC, DST, DBT, GBPIHED, NRSA,
MoEF,CSIR etc.), the Department is now in a position to let its students unravel the intricacies of plants
and microbial life even at the molecular level. The Department has also successfully completed some
consultancy projects.
The Department offers the following programmes:

Synthesis and Characterization of New Metal Complexes of O,O-Ditolyldithiophosphates and Their
Biological Activity
l
The present research project deals with the synthesis and characterization of noble O,O- (o-, m- & pditolyl)dithiophosphato complexes of some metals and metalloids and also to investigate their
biological activity as well as other industrial and technical applications. We have recently isolated and
characterized these O,O-(o-, m- & p-ditolyl)dithiophoshato ligands, (CreO)2PS2X, (where CreO = o-, mand p-cresol and X = H/Na/NH 4), by the reaction of ortho-, meta- and para-hydroxytoluene with
phosphorus-pentasulfide, P2S5. It is to state that a substantial amount of work has been done on
analogous dialkyl- and alkylenedithiophosphates but only meager information are available on
ditolyldithiophosphates. So, it is likely to develop this field by synthesizing some new compounds of
interesting structural and physical properties as well as versatile applications.

A systematic study concerning the complexation of metal ions with salicylic acid and its derivatives has
been of great interest. Salicylic acid (SA) and its derivatives (H2L) are biologically important ligands.
These are widespread in nature and are of considerable relevance in medicinal chemistry. Its well
known and most widely used drug aspirin reduces the risk of many diseases associated with aging and
is also used in the treatment of rheumatic fever, pain and for the prevention of thrombosis in the
vascular system. In the search of literature, it was revealed that there are many studies which deal with
SA complexes of various metal ions. By virtue of wide applicability of the macrocycles, a variety of
142
complexes with substituted porphyrins containing auxiliary ligands such as SA, 5-SSA etc. and their
dimeric species will be prepared and characterized.

The project is related to the preparation of mesogenic materials by mixing various members of the
homologous series of 4-n-alkyl benzoic acid and 4-n-alkoxy benzoic acid with 4.4-bipyridyl and related
bipyridine molecules. The different phases thus obtained will be analysed from the view point of
hydrogen bonding. The complexes thus obtained will be characterized by microscopic, thermal and xray techniques. The aim is also to study structure property relationship.

The changing demographic structure is occurring worldwide with a gradual shift towards a higher
proportion of older people. Women across the world face similar situations when it comes to healthcare.
Aged women have not been given much importance, but as the aged population in India is increasing,
any policy targeting womens health must recognize that womens health outcomes are invariably
linked to other aspects of their lives and to their unequal positions. However current uterocenteric
policies fail to recognize that womens health in isolation leads to an improper understanding of the
issues and therefore too clumsy and ineffective policy planning. State policys overemphasis on
reproductive health and a total neglect of all other aspects of Indian womens lives ensures that they
receive policy attention only in their child bearing years and for their reproductive functions. The
present study endeavors to fill these lacunae by taking holistic view of health from the perspective of
women.

In order to address the most basic of questions experimentally, large-scale facilities, operating over
timescales of decades are required. These facilities are built and operated by collaborations of hundreds
or even thousands, of physicists, providing a model for international cooperation in terms of the
efficient exchange of ideas and expertise both for the development of the advanced technologies
used in the detector construction and for scientific exploitation and publications. In recent years, the
CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland has increasingly become the international focus of particle
physics. As well as an extensive portfolio of fixed target experiments, it is the host of the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC). The LHC has a wide-ranging programme of searches for previously unknown physics,
which might be observed by production of new heavy particles. A complementary approach to searching
for new phenomena is offered by the NA62 experiment, which will study ultrarare decays of kaons
(particles containing strange quarks), which are particularly sensitive to the effects of the muchchampioned supersymmetry, model for extensions to the existing list of known particles. At NA62 we
expect to have answers to several fundamental questions. This project is aimed to build the triggering
devices in collaboration with University of Birmingham and analysis the rare decays at NA62.
