Atomic Minerals Directorate (AMD) for Exploration and Research is the oldest unit of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) under the Atomic Energy Act. AMD was created during 1949 as ‘Rare Minerals Survey Unit’ with headquarter in New Delhi. It was renamed first as ‘Raw Materials Division’ and then as ‘Atomic Minerals Division’ in 1958. It’s headquarter was later shifted to Hyderabad during 1974. In keeping with its growing stature as one of the country’s leading scientific organizations involved in multi-disciplinary and multi-faceted exploration-cum-analytical-cum-research activities, the ‘Division’ was rechristened as a ‘Directorate’ in 1998 on the eve of its stepping into the ‘Golden Jubilee’ Year. AMD commenced its operations on 1950 with a nucleus of 17 Geoscientists which has grown to 2777 personnel (in all categories) in recent years. The principal mandate of the unit was to carry out geological exploration and discover mineral deposits required for Atomic Energy power program of the country.
With the recent initiative to empower the team with competent workforce, AMD is inviting applications for various positions of Technical Officer-C, Scientific Assistant-B, Technicians-B and Pharmacists-B.
