Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) activities at the Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) in New Delhi, India, started with its 15UD Pelletron accelerator and cosmogenic radionuclide (CRN) measurements of 10Be and 26Al. Realizing the demand of a radiocarbon (14C) AMS facility in India, a 500kV Pelletron accelerator based AMS system was installed in 2015. This facility was designated with the lab code IUACD for 14C measurements. 14C dates measured in 2015 and 2016 were published in the first radiocarbon date list (see text for details). The present list is the second 14C date list and consists of dates measured from January to December 2017.

The human being tried, in one way or another, to satisfy his thirst for knowledge and look for ways to acquire, expand or generate it. In this sense, there are records of formal organizations dedicated to higher education (HE) since 1000 BC in China, and since 800 BC in India. Many of them functioned in monasteries dedicated mainly to religious studies, but without ceasing to impart knowledge about other disciplinary branches such as Medicine, Mathematics or Grammar. Other institutions, such as the Imperial Chinese Academy or the Great Taehak School in Korea, were oriented to the training of future workers in the imperial administration, with a marked pragmatic and Confucian cut. An advantage among HE centers in antiquity was the ease of allowing the migration of students and, therefore, of knowledge; because they did not yet have political or religious restrictions. Among its amazing characteristics, its organization with academic bodies, curricula, certificates of completion of studies and its own facilities stands out. The only distinction between HE establishments in antiquity and proper universities developed in the european middle ages was the legal autonomy of the latter, which allowed them to grant academic degrees.

“…However, their existence has been omitted from the documentary record as they are camouflaged by landcover, for instance, unprotected mounds around Nalanda (Rajani, 2016). Similarly, archeological mounds around large Buddhist sites in the Ganga Valley like Bodhgaya and Vikramshila using stereoscopic images and photogrammetric techniques were identified (Rajani andDas, 2018 andDas et al, 2019). One of the unique studies was related to analyzing the underground water supply system used in Bengaluru in the 20 th century (Suganya and Rajani, 2018).…”

The National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) was established in 1988 by late Shri J.R.D. Tata to develop interdisciplinary approaches to address societal issues and carry out multi-disciplinary research in the area of humanities, social science, science and engineering as well as in conflict and security studies. The studies related to cultural landscapes through remote sensing, proto-historic megaliths, ancient mining and metallurgy are carried out to conserve our geo-heritage and improve the livelihood of local communities. The challenges faced by India for developing energy resources and protecting the environment. The areas such as optima electricity mix, air pollution, climate negotiations, etc. are being addressed. Effective communication about national hazards can prepare communities to face cyclones, floods, etc. An effective disaster communication strategy is being developed,
