The goal was to bridge the gap between metamorphic history and deformational events on the eastern margin of Central SMGC. We found a correlation between 4 deformation & 2 metamorphic events. We constructed a P-T path akin to Western margin studies. The investigation concluded a likeness in metamorphic evolution between central SMGC's eastern and western margins. ➡️Summer Intern - Indian Statistical Institute, KolkataA comprehensive comparison between the different Indian dyke swarms based on an extensive literature survey.
