Exploring the Coasts of Knowledge: The Coastal Environmental Studies Research Centre at Egra SSB College

Nestled near the vibrant coastal town of Digha, within the walls of Egra SSB College, lies a hub of dedicated research aimed at unlocking the secrets of the Bay of Bengal. Established in 2021 and gaining prestigious affiliation from Vidyasagar University, the Coastal Environmental Studies Research Centre (CESRC) has swiftly carved its niche as a multidisciplinary powerhouse

Guided by a dedicated PhD committee of 3 internal and 4 external members, and a steering committee comprising 3 internal and 1 external member, CESRC fosters a diverse and enriching academic environment. Its inaugural cycle witnessed the remarkable success of 28 PhD scholars navigating the intricacies of their coursework, adhering to the stringent guidelines of UGC.

Within a mere year of its affiliation, the centre's scholarly prowess blazed a trail. The students, empowered by the centre's resources and guidance, produced a staggering 30 research papers, showcasing their commitment to advancing coastal knowledge. This impressive feat speaks volumes about the centre's nurturing and intellectually stimulating atmosphere.

But CESRC's impact extends beyond academic publications. Witnessing the exceptional achievements of its students, 2 scholars bagged NET-JRF, 8 secured NET for Lecturership, and 2 qualified for SET examinations. These accomplishments pave the way for future generations of researchers, building a legacy of academic excellence.

As CESRC prepares for its second cycle of PhD intake, the excitement is palpable. This dynamic centre, brimming with dedicated researchers and cutting-edge knowledge, stands poised to further illuminate the vast, unexplored horizons of the Bay of Bengal. Its journey is not just a testament to academic rigor, but also a beacon of hope for sustainable coastal development and a deeper understanding of this vital ecosystem.
