University of Madras on Wednesday awarded PhD posthumously to Lt General Subroto Mitra, who did research work on terrorism, security challenges to India and its neighbouring countries. University vice-chancellor S Gowri gave the doctorate degree to Lt General Mitra’s wife Pushpita Mitra, who thanked the institute for the gesture.
On the occassion, Gowri highlighted Mitra’s important research as a field officer. “Subroto Mitra has analysed crossborder terrorism and ways to prevent it in the future in his thesis work. The university takes pride in awarding this degree,” Gowri said.
“Terrorism manifests in different ways. The thesis brought out emerging forms and issues of terrorism including cyber terrorism and Mitra recommended ways on how nations could counter these issues,” said Utham Kumar Jamadhagni, head, department of defence and strategic studies. “A researcher may not have had the exposure Mitra had first-hand when he served in Jammu and Kashmir, northeast India. That is why it is very, significant.”
Mitra registered for PhD with the university in 2013 while serving as General Officer Commanding Andhra Pradesh, TN, Karnataka and Kerala. He passed away in 2015 but had submitted his thesis.
