Jalandhar: Kanya Maha Vidyalaya (Autonomous) has once again brought laurels to the institution astwo students from the P.G. Department of Physics have been selected to represent India in the prestigious NEPHEWS Transnational Access (TNA) Programme, an international research initiative to be conducted in Hungary. This remarkable achievement reflects the institution’s growing global recognition for academic excellence and research. The prestigious research grant under this programme was awarded to Ms. Harpreet Kaur (M.Sc. Physics Semester I) and Ms. Sheetal (M.Sc. FYIP Physics Semester III) to participate and have been awarded with an amount of 1150 Euros to support travel and accommodation. The students will travel to Hungary to work alongside internationally renowned scientists, receive hands-on training using state-of-the-art research facilities, and gain invaluable international research experience.The research proposal, titled “Investigating the Correlation Between THz Properties and Glass Structure Using Neutron Diffraction,” aims to understand the relationship between terahertz (THz) properties and the structural characteristics of glass materials using advanced neutron diffraction techniques. The study holds significant potential
in the fields of photonics, advanced functional materials, and next-generation communication technologies. During their visit, the students will actively contribute to this cutting-edge research while gaining practical experience in advanced materials characterisation.

Director Prof. (Dr.) Atima Sharma Dwivedi, congratulated the students and faculty members, stating,  “This prestigious selection is a testament to the dedication of our students and the high- quality research being conducted in the department. Such opportunities not only enrich their academic and research capabilities but also inspire them to contribute meaningfully to the global scientific community. KMV remains committed to empowering students through quality education, innovation, and international collaborations.”. She further expressed that providing students with opportunities to work in international research
laboratories is an important step toward developing skilled researchers capable of contributing to cutting-edge science. She added that such exposure enhances technical expertise, broadens academic perspectives, and strengthens international research collaborations.
