'''Kamalendu Deb Krori''' (born 21 January 1930) is an [[Indian people|Indian]] theoretical physicist and the former Principal of [[Cotton University|Cotton College]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Dr Krori conferred with awards |url=http://www.assamtribune.com/scripts/mdetails.asp?id=sep0611/at094 |access-date=8 January 2021 |work=[[The Assam Tribune]]}}</ref><br />
<br />
He pioneered research on [[general relativity]] in the North Eastern region of [[India]] and guided 16 scholars for their [[Ph.D]]. degrees.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/K-D-Krori-79545750|title=Dr. K.

In 1982, Krori along with two students showed why the elusive fundamental particles neutrinos, originally believed to be mass-less like the [[photons]], must possess some finite rest mass in order to be consistent with [[General relativity|Einstein's general theory of relativity]].<br />
<br />
In 1998, the Japanese [[Super-Kamiokande]] experiment confirmed that neutrinos indeed possess tiny masses by confirming existence of neutrino oscillations by which neutrinos change their flavours during their long cosmic journeys.<br />
<br />
== Education and career ==<br />
Krori received a [[Bachelors of Science|BSc]] degree from [[Karimganj College]] and [[Master of Science|M.Sc]] from [[University of Calcutta|Calcutta University]]<ref name="roy">{{cite book |author1=HP Roychoudhury |title=My Journey & Sovereign United Bengal|date=13 December 2013|page=261 |publisher=Partridge Publishing |isbn=9781482812015|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QjiVAgAAQBAJ&q=kd+krori&pg=PA261 |access-date=8 January 2021}}</ref> in 1953.<br />
<br />
Krori joined [[Karimganj College]] and then [[Cotton University|Cotton College]] as a lecturer.<ref name="roy"/> He became a professor at [[St. Anthony's College, Shillong]].<ref name="roy"/> After holding many teaching positions, he earned Ph.D. degree by virtue of independent research in [[theoretical physics]] from [[Jadavpur University]], [[Kolkata]], in 1971. He joined [[Cotton University|Cotton College, Guwahati]], in north-east India, as a lecturer in physics. There he started research on the general theory of relativity. Later he became a full professor and headed the Department of Physics. He became the Principal of the institute in 1987 and retired in 1991.<br />
