Welcome to CIF DHSK College :

Central Instrument Facility (CIF), DHSK College, Dibrugarh is established in the month of March, 2021.The Department  of North East Council(NEC), Shillong has provided facilities of sophisticated analytical instruments to researchers through its Central Instrumentation Facility(CIF) Scheme so that the non-availability of these instruments in their institutes may not come in the way of scientists in pursuing R&D activities requiring such facilities and they are able to keep pace with developments taking place globally. It has been created with an objective of providing a central facility of latest and advanced Analytical Instruments for research in the application areas of physical, chemical, biological, allied and interdisciplinary applications in research to all those are deprived of such facilities including academic research institutes, private companies /Industries.

About DHSK College:

Dibrugarh Hanumanbax Surajmall Kanoi College is a government college located in Dibrugarh, Assam, India. It was established on 15 June 1945 in Dibrugarh, Assam. The College is affiliated with Dibrugarh University; its Higher Secondary Course is recognised by the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council. The main aim of the establishment of the college is to pay special attention to the improvement of the social and economic conditions and welfare of the people of the upper Assam and its nearby areas, and in particular their intellectual, academic and cultural advancement.

Objectives of the CIFs:

  • to carry out analysis of samples received from the scientists/institutes;
  • to provide facilities of sophisticated analytical instruments to scientists and other users from academic institutes, R&D laboratories and industries to enable them to carry out measurements for R&D work;
  • to acquire and develop capability for under graduate, Post graduate students, Research Scholars and faculties of different disciplines. 
  • to organize short term courses/workshops on the use and application of various instruments and analytical techniques;
  • to train technicians for maintenance and operation preventive maintenance and repair of sophisticated instruments.
  • to undertake design and development of instruments/accessories of existing instruments.

Users of the Facilities:

  • The facilities provided by the CIFs may be utilized by any user/organization on payment of nominal charges. The details about the procedure for using the facilities and the charges for sample analysis, information about short term courses/training programs/workshops etc. can be obtained from the respective Heads of the CIFs or the website of the College.Contact details:Dr. Alakananda Baruah (M-8486263738, Email-alakabaruah@gmail)Dr. Jyoti Prasad Phukan (M-9435130495, Email-j.pphukan@yahoo.com)
