Department of Anthropology
The Department of Anthropology provides facilities for intensive training and research in the areas of Social Anthropology, Medical Anthropology and Visual Anthropology. The Department aims to train candidates who are oriented towards advanced research and training related to scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and rural studies.
Special Grants
Major research projects were received from University Grants Commission, New Delhi Indian Council of Medical Research, New Delhi, and Ministry of Social Justice Empowerment.
Programmes of study
M.A. Anthropology
Ph.D. Anthropology
The Men Behind the Mission
The NRLC has a team of professionally trained conservation scientists and conservators. The conservators are drawn from chemistry and fine arts disciplines, and conservation scientists comprise of mostly chemists, some biologists and one each of physics and geology. The total strength of technical persons in NRLC is 54.
Analytical Division :To conduct research and analysis of archeological, ethnographical objects, metal, stone, paintings etc. The division is well equipped with sophisticated instruments of XRF/XRD,SEM-EDAX, AAS,IR,HPLC,etc.
Biodeterioration Division: This division carries out studies involving damaged museum materials, monuments & buildings by various living organisms like fungi, algae, insects, etc.This division is having sophisticated Research microscopes, BOD incubator, Environmental chamber,etc.
Conservation Division: This division gives technical assistance to museums, archaeological departments, archives, and other institutions. Conservation treatment of all types of deterioration is done here.
Metal division: This division is engaged in developing better methods of conservation for the objects, besides making efforts to improve upon the existing ones.This division is also carrying out the metallographic study of various metal objects.This division is having the metallurgical microscopes, Ultrasonic thickness gauze, Micro hardness tester , etc.
Paper Division: This division caters to the need of research for evolving better methods of conservation of archival materials. This division is having Folding endurance tester, Tensile strength tester,etc.
Stone Division: This division has with it a multitude of facilities for carrying out a number of studies like chemical, physical, mineralogical and petrological characterization of deteriorated samples. The instruments available with this division are Stone cutting and grinding equipment, Material testing machine, UV spectrophotometer, Mercury porosimeter, etc.

What is NRLC ?
The National Research Laboratory for Conservation of Cultural Property (NRLC) is a subordinate office of the Department of culture, Govt. of India established in 1976 to provide support in the conservation of cultural property to cultural institutions throughout the country ,carry out research for development of newer methods of conservation and to provide training in the field of conservation.. The Laboratory has full-fledged teams of conservators and conservation scientists to work on different aspects of material like metals, stone, manuscripts, textiles, wooden objects, paintings, ethnographical materials, etc. Over the years, the Laboratory has developed expertise in these fields and has executed wide range of conservation projects in the country and abroad. The Laboratory has all the infrastructure and advanced facilities available for undertaking conservation work.
How can NRLC come to your rescue?
NRLC plans to undertake field projects to create awareness for conservation and to support to museums and other institutions in their conservation work. The projects will be self- sustaining and will be guided by the NRLCââ¬â¢s team of experts. The NRLC will provide expertise and institutions will provide funds, which will be utilized to employ restoration and other staff on contractual basis and for purchase of chemicals/conservation materials required for the execution of the projects.
Who can approach and for what?
Central and State Govt. departments, museums, universities, art galleries and other related institutions can approach for
* imparting training to their staff
* designing and setting up their conservation laboratories
* for conservation of their cultural heritage
4 .rendering advice on preventive conservation
5. scientific research on materials of conservation
