<p><b>Biostratigraphic studies involving: </b><br></p><p>1. Palynological dating of bore-hole and out-crop samples in Wardha and Godavari basins and Paraná Basin (Brazil)</p><p>2. Correlation of sediments- Intra basinal, Interbasinal and with other Gondwanan countries for
biostratigraphic and palaeogeographic implications</p><p><b>Palaeoenvironmental studies comprising:
</b></p><p>1.Evaluation of morphographic characters of spores and pollen.
</p><p>2.Tracing the probable plant affinities of spores and pollen which contributed to
the coal formation.
