The Department of Physics and Department of Computer Science, School of Basic and Applied Sciences, Adamas University, jointly organized an International Guest Lecture titled “Secrets of Our Origins: A Quest with the Large Hadron Collider” on 13th February 2026. Dr. Sabyasachi Siddhanta delivered an engaging talk on particle physics, cosmology, and CERN experiments. The session promoted interdisciplinary learning, international exposure, and research motivation among students and faculty.

In a landmark gathering that reaffirmed the civilizational richness of India’s indigenous intellectual heritage, the School of Law & Justice, Adamas University, in collaboration with the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Institute of Asian Studies (MAKAIAS) — an autonomous body under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India — hosted a Seminar on the Indian Knowledge System (IKS): Through the Lens of Decolonization, History, Law and Technology on 17th February 2026, drawing together over a hundred scholars, legal practitioners, technologists, and policymakers under one roof at Kolkata. This seminar was a result of a grant of 2 Lakh 50 Thousands that was funded by MAKAIAS.

The day-long event, graced by Prof. Suranjan Das (Vice Chancellor, Adamas University), Prof. R. Venkata Rao (Vice Chancellor, IIULER, Goa), and Prof. Heeraman Tiwari (Jawaharlal Nehru University). It unfolded as a richly layered intellectual conclave that traversed the full spectrum of India’s epistemic legacy — from the jurisprudential underpinnings of the Arthashastra and the ecological cosmology encoded in Puranic myth, to the pressing contemporary questions of bio-piracy, collective intellectual property, and ethical digitization of oral traditions — with the keynote address by Prof. Das powerfully anchoring the discourse in the mandate of NEP 2020 and its vision of an ‘India-Centric Educational System’ that decolonizes not merely syllabi but the very philosophical foundations of knowledge.

The seminar was particularly notable for its fearless interdisciplinary reach: legal scholars interrogated whether a jurisprudence born of colonial modernity could ever adequately protect knowledge systems built on entirely different ontological premises; historians recovered the subaltern and regional dimensions of IKS that dominant Sanskritic narratives had often obscured; and a biotechnologist from Adamas University electrified the audience by demonstrating how the ‘web of stories, mysteries and myths’ surrounding Jambudwip encoded sophisticated empirical understandings of ecology and medicine centuries before the Enlightenment gave the world its taxonomy of sciences. Perhaps the seminar’s most arresting intellectual motif — one that cut across every session — was the implicit dialogue it opened between Shakespeare and the Mahabharata: where generations of colonial education had elevated the Bard as the supreme summit of dramatic and philosophical imagination while relegating Vyasa’s encyclopaedical epic to the margins of religion and mythology, speaker after speaker drew pointed inferences about the epistemic violence of this asymmetry, arguing that the Mahabharata’s treatment of dharma, statecraft, moral agency, and cosmic jurisprudence not only rivals but in significant ways surpasses anything in the Western literary canon — that Yudhishthira’s dilemmas are as philosophically demanding as Hamlet’s, that the Bhagavad Gita anticipates Kantian ethics and transcends them, and that to finally accord the Mahabharata its rightful place in the Indian university alongside Shakespeare is not an act of cultural chauvinism but of long-overdue epistemic justice. The seminar concluded with a call for the formation of an IKS Consortium — a permanent tri-sectoral platform uniting academia, law, and technology — and the resolve that India’s universities must learn, at last, to know themselves.

The School of Engineering and Technology at Adamas University, under the leadership of Dr. Radha Tamal Goswami, conducted a four-day International Lecture Series in online mode from 16th to 19th February 2026. The programme brought together distinguished academicians and industry professionals who shared current research developments and practical insights with students and faculty members.

The series commenced with a lecture by Dr. Niladri Mandal, DRDO, on advanced aerospace manufacturing technologies. He discussed hybrid manufacturing processes, sustainable practices, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), and metal 3D printing for lightweight components. Dr. A. V. S. S. H. Sravan Kumar from NIT Calicut followed with a session on Industry 4.0, focusing on IoT-enabled smart manufacturing systems and semiconductor fabrication processes including photolithography, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), and plasma etching.

On subsequent days, Dr. Khaja Moiduddin from King Saud University delivered a detailed talk on advanced biomaterials and patient-specific implant manufacturing. His lecture covered PEEK and titanium-based implants, digital surgical planning, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and additive manufacturing techniques such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM). Dr. Sanjeev Kumar Manjhi from NIT Calicut addressed developments in high-accuracy thermal sensors, highlighting nanomaterials, thin film deposition, flexible sensor fabrication, and calibration methods.

The lecture series concluded with a session by Dr. Natasha Mandal from Lule? University of Technology, Sweden, who spoke on biosensors and smart materials. She discussed advanced characterization techniques, lithography systems, and plasmonics-based Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) for healthcare diagnostics.

The International Lecture Series provided a meaningful academic platform for interaction, learning, and exchange of ideas across key areas of engineering, materials science, and emerging technologies.

The Department of Geography celebrated GIS Day 2025 with an innovative and engaging event titled “Field Frames: Stories Beyond the Map”, a digital storytelling competition designed to bring field experiences to life through geospatial narratives.
Through this initiative, students demonstrated how geography is not just mapped, it is felt, observed, and told through powerful stories from the field. Their presentations beautifully captured landscapes, people, processes, and research insights, reflecting the true spirit of GIS and field-based learning.
As a department committed to fostering geospatial excellence, we are delighted to see our students embrace GIS not only as a tool but as a lens to understand the world.
