To encourage research in the stone sector, Center for Development of Stones (CDOS) established a Stone Research Chair at MNIT Jaipur. Professor Ravindra Nagar is presently looking after the activities of the chair as coordinator.
The possible research areas identified were :-
Presently seven research projects (PhD), and four research projects (M.Tech) are underway. The list of research projects is given in the table . The chair actively engages with the stone industry and academic institutions, research centers globally. Research is carried out at Malaviya National Institute of Technology that has state of art Material Research Center, Centre for Tribology, Machine center and Concrete and Road material testing laboratories.
Facilities in these centers include Transmission Electron Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope, Mass spectrometer, X-Ray Diffractometer, TGA, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer, Field Emission Gun SEM, Hot mounting press, Wear Simulators, Machine Centers, Carbonation chamber, chloride diffusion, Fluorescence Spectrometer, Fourier Transform infrared spectrometer, DIN permeability, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity testers, Environmental Chamber, Universal Testing Machines etc,
