IAGRG Awards
V. V. Narlikar Best Thesis Award
Recognising outstanding doctoral research in gravitation and related areas
About this Award
The V. V. Narlikar Best Thesis Award recognises outstanding doctoral research carried out at universities in India in the areas of General Relativity, Gravitation, and related fields.
The award traces its origin to a proposal made at the 20th General Body Meeting of IAGRG, held on 20 January 1999 at D.D.U. Gorakhpur University, to institute a prize for exceptional PhD theses. Subsequently, the IAGRG Council resolved to encourage thesis presentations at future meetings, inviting recent PhD recipients in Mathematics and Physics whose work related to gravitation and allied areas.
The recipient would be selected by a panel of referees on the basis of scholarly quality and presentation. Following a suggestion by Prof. P. C. Vaidya, the prize was named the Professor V. V. Narlikar Award for Best Thesis in GRG and Related Areas, in honour of one of India’s distinguished scientific figures.The first award was conferred for the block 1997–2000, and it continues to celebrate excellence in young research scholarship.
