10.6 School of Design (SoD)

The genesis of design education in India was laid in the early sixties when Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru,
the first Prime Minister invited eminent designers, Charles and Ray Eames to prepare a report on
the kind of design education which India should have as a developing country. The seeds of design
were thus sown and this report nucleated the study of design as a discipline to be nurtured as a
creative work, which has a focus on form as well as, function. Today, design is an integral part of
our growing society and day to day life as well.
Doon University has started imparting design education on the pattern of leading design institutes
through its School of Design from the academic session 2015-16, making professional design
education available, at an affordable cost. The infrastructure and teaching is at par with other
National Institutes imparting design education in the country through experienced design faculty.
The School of Design offers a four year Bachelor in Design program consisting of eight semesters.
The teaching pedagogy lays emphasis on creative thinking and a critical analysis of the product,
and has hands - on approach to shape it. The programme focuses on nurturing the creative aptitudes
in each student and develop their ability to evolve in the process of problem solving. Emphasis is
given to design education in relation to our eco system and society that we live in as well as the
environment, which we need to preserve. Aim is to turn out design graduates, who are Industry
ready and have the necessary skills to be absorbed in different work arenas. Participation of
26
industry professionals and solving industrial problems in the real work situation is the essence of
design education at the School of Design.
After a common foundation program, students will be required to pursue a three year specialisation
in one of the courses such as Product Design, Graphic Design, Exhibition Design, Animation and
Crafts. The curricula of specialisation courses are developed on the basis of the market needs. The

10.8 School of Physical Sciences (SoPS)

The School of Physical Science with its four departments: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and
Computer Science was established in 2015. The School is an active beehive of high quality teaching
programs and competent faculty members with various research backgrounds that cater to the ever
challenging needs of teaching and technical excellence in all areas of Physical Sciences with
globally benchmarked curricula.
The School offers Integrated Masters programme in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and
Computer Science and Masters programmes in Physics and Mathematics. The curricula of the
Integrated programmes in these subjects are based on UGCs Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) 27
and provides a broad background as well as in-depth study of the subject and related areas. The
curriculum is divided mainly into three categories: Core Courses, Discipline Specific Elective
(DSE) Courses and Generic Elective (GE) Courses. Core courses are rigorous in-depth courses that
build on the foundation and develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. Since the subjects
involve a lot of experimental work therefore, substantial laboratory work is an integral part of
almost all type of courses.
The two years Masters Programme in Physics with specialization in Optoelectronics is a unique
programme being offered in collaboration with the Instruments Research & Development
Establishment (IRDE), a branch of Defense Research & Development Organization (DRDO). In its
first year of establishment, the department organized a National Seminar on Light and Light based
Technology (SLT-2016) in collaboration with IRDE, which was a great success.
Various initiatives are taken by the SoPS for the development of the students by encouraging them
to participate in extension activities, such as science workshops, science club, research training
programs etc. In order to ensure the exposure of students to the recent developments in scientific
research, various seminars, quizzes and workshops on science and technology are organized by
Doon Science Club, a joint initiative of Department of Chemistry and Physics. The faculty is also
very active in extension activities and in reaching out to students.
Careers in Chemistry
Chemistry forms the scientific basis for a wide variety of career options, ranging from traditional
areas such as pharmaceuticals, chemical analysis and synthesis, quality control and quality
assurance, to inter-disciplinary fields such as molecular biology, material science and biophysics,
and non-traditional areas such as medicine, patent or environmental law, forensic science, technical
writing, art conservation, environmental studies, etc.
Research in Chemistry
Research activities form the core of any Ph.D. program. Creative and productive enquiry is the basis
of underlying research work. Ph.D. program in Chemistry includes a rigorous course work,
development of project proposals, research and literature seminars, in-depth dissertation research
under the supervision of a research advisor, and a public thesis defense.
At present following broad areas are being offered for research in chemistry: Catalysis, Chemistry
of Nanomaterials, Applications of Nanomaterials in water remediation and drug delivery,
Coordination Chemistry, Green Chemistry, Structural Chemistry and Crystallography,
Supramolecular Chemistry
Ph.D. Programme in Chemistry

10.9 Centres of Study and Research
Centre for Public Policy (CPP)

The Centre for Public Policy (CPP) has been established through an endowment provided by the
National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) in 2006. It is anchored in the School of Social
Sciences but acts as an autonomous Centre, carrying out its various activities as per the decisions
taken by various Committees constituted for discharging its mandate.
The Centre aims to promote and nurture research and make serious efforts in the domain of public
policy, with special reference to the mountainous regions like Uttarakhand. With this end in focus
it reaches out to establish an on-going dialogue with all researchers and research projects that are
in progress in Uttarakhand - in Universities, Colleges and various institutions of excellence, both
past and present.
The Centre for Public Policy has hitherto been active in preparatory actions related to sustainable
development and Climate Change. The Centre on its part not only provided an anchor role to the
Nodal Officer but also helped in conducting various consultations with departments, including
meetings at the highest levels. The role played by the Centre, the School and the Doon University
now forms an important part of the project on Safer and Sustainable Uttarakhand.
With a view to promote research in identified interdisciplinary areas and associated related issues
the Centre shall offer research scholarship, fellowship/assistantship to the Masters, Ph.D. students
and eminent scholars.
