Meenakshi Sundararajan Research Center

The Meenakshi Sundararajan Research Center (MSRC) was started in 2004 under the aegis of the Research Coordination Committee of Meenakshi College. The Center was established with the aim of giving an impetus to research, channelize research activity on campus and to facilitate research projects.


Over the last several years, the Research Center has been a hub of activity, with many a major and minor research project being done with funding from the UGC and other Governmental and Non-Governmental agencies.


The MSRC has been instrumental in producing path-breaking work in the thrust areas of research of the College, namely Nuclear and Radiation Physics, Micro-finance and Urban Economics.
