The 14th international conference of the university librarians association of sri lanka (icula-2024) on the theme 'artificial intelligence revolutionizing library services: challenges and opportunitie at sri lanka, applying 7th cpc to the person who already got m.phil. / ph.d. increment as per 6th cpc.

Posted by Kankana B Badan on April 19, 2018 at 1:52 in Discussion

UGC accepted the Pay Review Committee (PRC) recommendations on 22nd February, 2017.

The MHRD issued the notification on 2nd November, 2017 vide No. 1-7/2015-U.II(1).

According to the new notification "The Date of Implementation of the above revised pay shall be 1st January, 2016" (Refer. Point 7, Page 4, MHRD Notification No. 1-7/2015-U.II(1) issued on 2nd November, 2017).

Again, as per the 7th CPC notification there shall be no advanced increment for M.Phil. and Ph.D.

Now the question is

If a person is awarded his/her M.Phil. / Ph.D. degree after 1st January, 2016 but before 22nd February, 2017 (the date of acceptance of the PRC by UGC) and also join an institute within that period in a permanent post, he/she already got increments for M.Phil./Ph.D. applicable at that time as per 6th CPC.

Now his/her M.Phil./Ph.D. increments will be denied or his/her pay will be restructured in the light of 7th CPC?.

As notifications don't have retrospective effect and in the clause 8 of the 7th CPC notification on increment of the M.Phil./Ph.D. no specific date is mentioned, I feel that the person who already got increment for M.Phil./Ph.D. shall be entitled for the increments.

Kindly suggest me if I am wrong.

Difference Between M.Phil. and Ph.D.

On the other hand, M.Phil. , i.e. Master of Philosophy , is only a post-graduate degree, which is both research-based and has a syllabus too, for the coursework. In this article, you will find a complete description of the differences between M.Phil. and Ph.D.

Content: M.Phil. Vs Ph.D.

Comparison chart.

Basis for Comparison	M.Phil.	Ph.D.
Meaning	M.Phil. is an academic research degree, that allows the student to master is a particular subject, and provides proper knowledge for further research.	Ph.D. is an internationally acknowledged, highest level research degree course, offered by the universities, that attempts to add something new, in the already existing knowledge.
Duration	2 Years	3 Years
Stipend	Not paid	Paid
Concerned with	Research basics	Original or fresh research
Programme Structure	Course work and Dissertation work	Course work and Thesis work

M.Phil. Programme

M.Phil. or otherwise called as Master of Philosophy is a postgraduate degree based on advanced academic research work, offered by the University. It is also considered as a second degree or intermediate degree programme between post-graduate degree and doctorate.

The total duration of the programme is two years, of which one year is coursework, followed by dissertation work, in which the learner has to refer to the research performed by the other scholars and look for latest research on the respective subject, to recreate it. The evaluation of the dissertation is done by the internal supervisor and external examiner, which will lead to viva-voce. Once the candidate qualifies the viva-voce, he/she is awarded the degree of M.Phil.

Before the final submission of the dissertation, the student has to give a seminar presentation on the research work performed.

Ph.D. Programme

PhD expands to Doctor of Philosophy, is the topmost degree awarded by any university to its scholars, who have completed their original research, in the topic or field selected. It prepares the postgraduate students for faculty and research positions at universities.

To get admission to this programme, first of all, the aspirant has to qualify certain entrance exam, in their respective subject opted for pursuing Ph.D., such as NET, GATE or similar another equivalent exam. After which he/she has to choose the University for admission to the programme, then one year of coursework needs to be completed, prior to the confirmation of PhD registration. After that they become eligible for the submission of the thesis, after two years from the date registration is confirmed.

By the end of the first year of the programme, the scholar needs to consult with the supervisor, regarding the identification, preparation and submission of the synopsis. The topic of the research work must be an approved one.

Once the thesis is complete under the guidance of the supervisor, the scholar has to give two seminar presentations, followed by the submission of the thesis, to the relevant committee. Next, the thesis will then be sent to the examiner for the purpose of evaluation. If the examiners so appointed recommend the acceptance of the degree, then the thesis needs to be published in the research journal.

After publishing it, the candidate is required to defend the thesis in the viva-voce, in front of the panel of examiners. On the successful completion of the viva, the scholar is recommended for awarding the degree.

Key Differences Between M.Phil. And Ph.D.

The difference between M.Phil and PhD can be drawn clearly on the following grounds:

M.Phil. is described as a second master’s degree course, that is pursued by the students to gain full-fledged knowledge on the subject and also provides a platform for advanced research. In contrast, Doctor of Philosophy, abbreviated as PhD is a professional degree course, that allows the degree holder to get a faculty position and teach the respective subject at the university level, or work in that field.
The m.phil programme is a two years course, whereas the minimum time duration to complete PhD is three years but the time can extend depending on the submission and acceptance of the thesis.
While stipend is not paid in M.Phil., in PhD fellowship is awarded to the student as a stipend, for conducting research work.
In M.Phil. programme, the course includes research basics. Conversely, in the PhD programme, the students are required to produce their own original work and perform research in a particular field.
The programme structure of M.Phil. has two components, i.e. coursework and the dissertation work which is performed under the guidance of the expert. On the contrary, PhD programme encompasses the coursework, for one year, followed by thesis work under the guidance of the expert supervisor.

At the end of the discussion, it can be said that M.Phil. is a less advanced research degree as compared to Ph.D., because in M.Phil. The student can read a model research paper and go through the latest researches made on the subject to recreate it. But, in case of PhD, the research work moves around the concept of creating something new and original to the subject, for which continuous experiment and studies is to be performed by the student, under the guidance of the supervisor.

M.Phil vs Ph.D.: Overview

M.Phil, otherwise called Master of Philosophy, is a postgraduate academic research program with a valid degree for two years’ duration. Candidates can join this course from any stream, be it in Humanities, Commerce, Science, Law, or even Teaching, as they can pursue an M.Phil course without any trouble. In an M.Phil course, candidates are expected to study theory and as well as practical subjects. Apart from this, the aspirants are also needed to conduct research and present their research findings.

Ph.D. is ahead of what we discussed above, and it is a doctoral degree with an academic focus. A Ph.D. course, in general, is usually of a maximum duration of three years and candidates need to complete the course within a given time of five to six years accordingly. Candidates can continuously pursue a Ph.D. program in any stream of their choice. In a Ph.D. course, aspirants have the option of needing to select a topic or a subject, and then they need to do in-depth research on it and answer any of the given queries related to the topic or the subject that they choose.

Difference Between M.Phil and Ph.D: Admissions

Although both courses provide better career prospects and opportunities, enrolling in either of them requires a different but specific channel, which aspirants need to follow.

Prerequisites for M.Phil

The requirements can vary under different universities, but the basic eligibility is always the same. It is specified that candidates need to have secured at least a percentage of 55% marks in the subject they want to pursue an M.Phil degree at the postgraduate level.
Candidates who are usually shortlisted for admission in an M.Phil course are mainly based on their performance in an entrance exam followed by a Personal Interview called PI round.

The following are some of the most important M.Phil entrance exams:

Prerequisites for Ph.D.

In previous times, candidates could pursue a Ph.D. course simply through the distance mode; however, as per recent changes, a circular issued by UGC in 2017 has made it compulsory that a Ph.D. course pursued through the distance education mode is no longer recognized.
Candidates who have cleared entrance exams like UGC NET, GATE, JEST, and similar exams are usually offered fellowships while pursuing a Ph.D. course because it is excellent.
Apart from this, famous universities such as IGNOU and Delhi University (DU) also offer scholarships to concerned students pursuing full-time Ph.D. courses.

The following are some of the most important Ph.D. entrance exams:

CISR- UGC NET

M.Phil, as most of us know, means Master of Philosophy, and Ph.D. means Doctor of Philosophy just for clarifying. Both of these degrees are research-based and can be opted after one completes the master’s degree. Aspirants can pursue a Ph.D. after a bachelor’s degree with an excellent academic record in some universities. The students have to submit their research paperwork in both the courses of M.Phil and Ph.D. to sit for them. The study structure is almost the same in both M.Phil and Ph.D. courses as things are research-oriented, but still, there are some differences between them. The Main Difference between M.Phil and Ph.D. Degree is:

Generally, when we consider an M.Phil degree, it is a two-year course, but in some cases, it can be for three years as well. The M.Phil degree is mostly a thesis-based course, and it is also known as a Senior or Second Master’s Degree between a Ph.D. and an entirely taught Master’s Degree.
A student can get a valid M.Phil degree after a few years’ original research before the giving dissertation. This degree may work as a pre-requisite for enrolling in a Ph.D. degree as well.
A Ph.D. degree, on the other hand, has a higher edge over an M.Phil degree because of its nature. M.Phil is nowadays used as training in advanced research work. Currently, people say an M.Phil degree means that the research work generally has to be original. The research work in the dissertation should not be compulsorily original, and it can replicate research that has already been done.
Ph.D. is a Doctorate that selects university awards. The education level needed to pursue a Ph.D. course depends on your country, institution, and time.
In India, a student who completes a Ph.D. degree is known to be a Doctor. But the term Doctorate of Philosophy does not necessarily relate to the field of Philosophy as it is used in the broader spectrum.
The requirements for completion of a Ph.D. degree differ from university to institute. Like those of the US, Canada, and Denmark, some universities abroad need additional coursework to write a thesis. Some universities need the author of the thesis to defend the work before going to a panel of experts for examination.
The M.Phil degree is generally considered as a pre-requisite to doing a Ph.D. degree. The dissertation for an M.Phil does not have to be based on originality; instead, it can be replicated as stated above on someone else’s research.
Whereas the thesis for a Ph.D. degree must be entirely original, this is the crucial difference as a panel of judges will examine it to give a doctorate. Ph.D. has more of a value on a higher note than an M.Phil degree. M.Phil is only a Master’s degree, but Ph.D. is termed a Doctorate.

Difference Between M.Phil and Ph.D: Benefits of Pursuing

Students can build outstanding careers and pursue the proper employment for them in either M.Phil or Ph.D. fields. Both courses provide considerable opportunities for students to pursue successful employment in fields where these degrees are in high demand.

Benefits of Pursuing M.Phil

Research Oriented : Graduates of M.Phil undergo a tedious procedure of engaging in research and imparting answers to pain factors over their 2-yr period. It permits a sense of legitimacy amongst recruiters who would want to hire an individual who had finished an MPhil.
Qualified for a Job : Graduates with an M.Phil can find work in a range of settings and organizations. For M.Phil freshers, different concentrations provide diverse job opportunities. Consultancies, research organizations, academic institutions, commercial companies, government organizations, legal firms, and other professional paths are all possible with an M.Phil

Benefits of Pursuing Ph.D.

Gaining Knowledge: The most significant advantage of pursuing a Ph.D. in management, literature, or any other field is the extensive knowledge gained while performing research. You can use this information not just to write your thesis, but also to solve problems and make decisions in your daily life.
Job Growth : A Ph.D. candidate is significantly more qualified and fit for a particular career than a master's degree holder in the same field. You'll be among the top 10 candidates a corporation would choose for itself when you finish your Ph.D.

What is M.Phil.?

M.Phil. stands for “Master of Philosophy.” It is a postgraduate academic degree that is positioned between a bachelor’s degree and a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) in terms of educational levels. M.Phil. programs are offered in various fields of study, including the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and more.

What is a Ph.D.?

A Ph.D., or Doctor of Philosophy, is the highest academic degree awarded in many fields of study. It is a terminal degree that signifies a high level of expertise, original research, and significant contributions to a specific field of knowledge. Ph.D. programs are rigorous and demanding, and they are undertaken by individuals who aspire to become experts in their chosen fields or who are passionate about conducting advanced research.

Here are some key characteristics and aspects of a Ph.D.:

Research Emphasis: Ph.D. programs are primarily research-focused. Candidates are expected to engage in original, independent research that contributes significantly to their field of study. The research conducted during a Ph.D. program is extensive, in-depth, and aimed at advancing knowledge.
Duration: The duration of a Ph.D. program varies by country, field of study, and individual circumstances. On average, it takes three to five years of full-time study to complete a Ph.D., although some programs may take longer.
Thesis/Dissertation: A central component of a Ph.D. program is completing a doctoral dissertation or thesis. This comprehensive document presents the results of the candidate’s research, analysis, and findings. The dissertation undergoes a thorough examination and evaluation by experts in the field.
Originality: Ph.D. research is expected to be original and contribute new knowledge. It involves exploring uncharted territory or addressing previously unanswered questions.
Academic Rigor: Ph.D. candidates must meet high academic standards and demonstrate a deep understanding of their field. They take advanced coursework related to their research area.
Specialization: Ph.D. candidates specialize in a specific subfield or area within their chosen discipline. They become experts in that area and significantly contribute to advancing knowledge in that niche.
Career Opportunities: Ph.D. graduates are well-prepared for academic careers, research institutions, and specialized roles requiring advanced expertise. They hold positions as university professors, researchers, scientists, policy analysts, consultants, and experts in various industries.
Academic Titles: Upon completing a Ph.D., individuals are awarded the title of “Doctor.” For example, someone with a Ph.D. in biology is addressed as “Dr. Smith” or “Dr. Johnson.”
Interdisciplinary Study: Ph.D. programs may allow for interdisciplinary study, where candidates draw from multiple fields to address complex research questions.
Global Recognition: The Ph.D. is a globally recognized academic degree, and holders of this degree are respected for their expertise and contributions to their respective fields.

Main Differences Between M.Phil. and Ph.D.

M.Phil.: M.Phil. programs primarily serve as a stepping stone between a bachelor’s degree and a Ph.D. They provide advanced research training and the opportunity to explore a specific topic in-depth. M.Phil. candidates refine their research skills and narrow their research interests.
Ph.D.: A Ph.D. is the highest academic degree awarded and is designed to enable students to conduct original, groundbreaking research. The primary purpose of a Ph.D. program is to significantly contribute to the field of study through original research and the creation of new knowledge.
M.Phil.: M.Phil. programs are shorter in duration compared to Ph.D. programs. They take one to two years of full-time study to complete.
Ph.D.: Ph.D. programs are longer and more comprehensive. They take three to five or more years of full-time study to complete, with a significant portion dedicated to research.
M.Phil.: While M.Phil. programs include a research component, the research requirements are less extensive and may not be as original or in-depth as Ph.D. research.
Ph.D.: Ph.D. candidates are expected to conduct original, independent research that contributes significantly to their field. The research undertaken during a Ph.D. is more extensive and rigorous than in an M.Phil. program.
M.Phil.: M.Phil. candidates must write a research thesis or dissertation, which is shorter and less comprehensive than a Ph.D. dissertation.
Ph.D.: A Ph.D. dissertation is a substantial and original piece of research that must demonstrate a high level of expertise and significantly contribute to the field. It is a comprehensive document that undergoes rigorous examination.
M.Phil.: M.Phil. graduates can pursue careers in academia or research, but they may also find opportunities in various sectors, including industry, government, and non-profit organizations.
Ph.D.: Ph.D. graduates are well-prepared for academic careers, research institutions, and specialized roles requiring deep expertise. They are recognized as experts in their area of study.
M.Phil.: Admission to an M.Phil. program requires a bachelor’s degree in a related field and, in some cases, relevant research experience or a strong academic background.
Ph.D.: Admission to a Ph.D. program requires a strong academic record, a master’s degree in a related field (although some programs accept exceptional bachelor’s degree holders), and a well-defined research proposal.
The structure and nomenclature of M.Phil. and Ph.D. programs may vary by country and educational system. Some regions may have different names for similar programs.

6th UGC Scheme - Teacher Who Availed Advance Increments Based On M.Phil Can't Seek Increments Based On Subsequently Acquired Ph.D : Kerala HC

6th UGC Scheme - Teacher Who Availed Advance Increments Based On M.Phil Cant Seek Increments Based On Subsequently Acquired Ph.D : Kerala HC

The Kerala High Court has held that a teacher, who entered service with M.Phil and was awarded two advance increments on the basis of the M.Phil degree, and who subsequently acquired Ph.D while in service, would not be entitled to three additional non-compounded increments provided in the State Government order based on the Sixth UGC Scheme.A Division Bench comprising Justice P.B. Sureshkumar...

A Division Bench comprising Justice P.B. Sureshkumar and Justice C.S. Sudha , observed that the teacher could not be regarded as a teacher in service who has been awarded Ph.D at the time of coming into force of the subsequent Government Order in terms of the Sixth UGC Scheme entitling teachers who completed their Ph.D. in service to three non-compounded increments.

"The pointed question is as to whether the petitioner could be regarded as a teacher in service who has been awarded Ph.D at the time of coming into force of Ext.P4 order. If a person like the petitioner who has been awarded Ph.D about two years prior to the coming into force of Ext.P4 order and who was governed by Clause 6.17 of Ext.P2 order is regarded as a teacher in service who has been awarded Ph.D at the time of coming into force of Ext.P4 order, then all similar teachers who were governed by Clause 6.19 of Ext.P2 order would also fall under Clause 10.5, as the Sixth Scheme of the UGC .... only precludes teachers who have already availed the benefit of advance increments from possessing Ph.D at the entry level under the earlier Scheme, from claiming advance increments under the Sixth Scheme in terms of Clause 7(xxi) therein. If that be so, they can also claim three non-compounded increments in addition to the two advance increments which have been granted to them in terms of Clause 6.19 of Ext.P2 order. Such an inference, according to us, cannot be made, for if such an inference is made, those who have entered service with Ph.D when Ext.P2 order was in force will have to be satisfied with four increments, whereas those who have entered service without Ph.D, but acquired Ph.D while in service, will be able to claim five increments, two under the Fifth Scheme and three under the Sixth Scheme", it was observed.

Brief Facts

As per the factual matrix, the petitioner, who was a teacher in an aided college affiliated to the Calicut University, had entered service as Lecturer and retired as an Associate Professor. When the petitioner entered service, he had M.Phil degree, along with the other requisite qualifications. During this time, it was the State Government order based on the Fifth UGC Scheme that had been applicable, as per which two advance increments would be admissible to those who hold M.Phil. degree at the time of recruitment as Lecturer. The petitioner was accordingly granted the benefit. It was while the petitioner was in service that he acquired Ph.D degree. Although aforementioned order issued by the State government in terms of the Fifth UGC Scheme provided for one more advance increment for those teachers with M.Phil who acquire Ph.D degree within two years of recruitment, the petitioner was not extended the benefit of the said additional increment, as he could not acquire Ph.D degree within two years of recruitment.

During this time, the Government implemented the Sixth UGC Scheme in the State, with effect from September 1, 2008. As per the subsequent order, teachers who complete their Ph.D degree while in service were to be entitled to three non-compounded increments, if such Ph.D is in the relevant discipline and had been awarded by a University complying with the process prescribed by the UGC for enrolment, course work, evaluation, and so on.

It is the petitioner's case that since he was a teacher in service who had been been awarded Ph.D degree at the time of coming into force of the Sixth UGC Scheme, he would be entitled to three additional non-compounded increments as stipulated in the subsequent order, as well. However, his request regarding the same before the Director of Collegiate Education (DCE) was rejected stating that since he had already been given two advance increments on the strength of his M.Phil degree, he would not be entitled to any more increments for the Ph.D. degree since he couldn't acquire the latter within 2 years of the recruitment. After 4 years, the petitioner made a fresh application before the DCE, for one more additional increment, which was also rejected.

Thereafter, the petitioner filed a writ petition after 2 years of his retirement, challenging these orders of the DCE. He also sought for a direction to the State and its officials to sanction to him three non-compounded increments also on the strength of the Ph.D acquired by him while in service and disburse the consequential benefits.

The Single Judge allowed the writ petition, and issued the direction sought for by the petitioner. It is challenging the said decision of the Single Judge that the present writ appeal was filed.

Division Bench Ruling

The Division Bench noted that after the petitioner's initial request had been turned down by the DCE, he had not pursued the matter again for a period of 4 years. After the fresh representation to the Principal was also turned down, he only filed the writ petition again after almost 2 years of his retirement.

"In light of the facts narrated above, according to us, the claim of the petitioner is per se stale and this Court ought not have entertained the writ petition" , the Court noted. It thereby embarked to ascertain the correctness of the decision rendered by the Single Judge.

The Court in this case observed the the various clauses of the two Schemes of the UGC and discerned that the case of the petitioner could not be regarded as a teacher in service who had been awarded Ph.D at the time of coming into force of the subsequent government order falling within the scope of Clause 10.5 of the said order. It is noted that Clause 10.4 of the order deals with teachers who acquire Ph.D while in service after the implementation of the said order, while Clause 10.5 provides that teachers in service who have been awarded Ph.D at the time of coming into force of the Sixth Scheme of the UGC are also entitled to award of three non-compounded increments even if the University awarding such Ph.D has not yet been notified by the UGC as having complied with the process prescribed by the UGC.

"We take this view also for the reason that it has been clarified by the Government in Ext.P5 order that those who have already availed the benefit of advance increments at the earlier scheme for possessing Ph.D/M.Phil at the entry level or for acquiring Ph.D/M.Phil in service shall not be entitled to the benefit of increments under the Sixth UGC Scheme, except as provided therein specifically. The effect of the said clause is that those who are governed by the earlier scheme for claiming advance increments on the strength of their Ph.D either at the entry level or while in service will not be entitled to claim increments as per the Sixth Scheme except as provided for in Ext.P5 order. Ext.P5 order is not under challenge. It does not also confer any right to persons like the petitioner to claim the non-compounded increments in terms of Ext.P4 order", the Court clarified.

It therefore allowed the writ appeal, and set aside the impugned judgment of the Single Judge.

The appellants in this case were represented by Senior Government Pleader B. Vinitha . The respondents were represented by the Standing Counsel of Calicut University Advocate P.C. Sasidharan , and Advocates Abhay Ferdinand and C.V. Alexander .

Veliky Novgorod Region: Why you need to see the jewel in Russia’s ‘Silver Necklace’

Valday Iversky Monastery

For those of you making the trip to Veliky Novgorod Region, here is a list of unmissable activities and places of interest to really get you acquainted with the area and its history.

1. Learn the history of the Russian state in Veliky Novgorod

Of course, this city is unmissable; being the historical center of Russian statehood with the most ancient cathedral in the country, Sophia Cathedral, erected more than one thousand years ago, is a place of power for the whole of Russia. The city was the first-ever Russian settlement straddling both sides of a river (Volkhov), with the imposing Kremlin on one side, and medieval churches and buildings in the historic market district on the other.

Veliky Novgorod Kremlin

You can spice up the historical tour with various custom ones available, including the ancient cemetery at night or an alco-tour of the city (where you get to try local food and drink). For more information on the city excursions, you can go here .

2. Explore traditional folk craft at the workshop in Kresttsy settlement

Krestetsky stitching is a traditional Russian pattern - a folk craft that was born and developed in this area since the 1860-s. In Soviet times a small factory producing original unique linen products was built here. During Perestroika it was nearly closed due to the catastrophic economic crisis in the country. The risk for the Krestetsky stitch being completely forgotten was quite real. It is now a private factory and shop with guided tours.

NOVGOROD REGION, RUSSIA - JANUARY 24, 2019: Linen products of the Kresttsy Stitch clothing factory reviving and implementing the Kresttsy stitchery, a traditional local embroidery technique dating from the 1860s, in the village of Kresttsy, Novgorod Region

The pattern is very beautiful and difficult to master, so the possibility to observe the birth of a masterpiece is quite unique. Head over to the factory website for more details.

3. Meet the old believers in the village of Lyakova

Russia’s so-called ‘old believers’ did not accept the reformation of Orthodox Christianity in Russia in the 17th century, choosing instead to keep the old traditions in church services and rites, in defiance of the state’s persecution, lasting centuries. Old believers are divided into two groups, those who accept the church hierarchy and those who do not accept priests at all, pray in their own houses, and are governed by the community leaders. At this time there are about one million old believers scattered around the country with no official statistics to confirm that figure.

The old believers of Lyakova village will gladly welcome you in the old traditional peasant’s house, explaining how it was organized, and how life, in general, looked in the distant peasant past. This immersion is accompanied by a traditional dinner with borsch, salo (pork scratchings) and tea brewed in a traditional samovar. Book your ticket here .

4. Take the eco-trail at the Valdai national park

This national park is one of the largest specially protected natural areas in the European part of Russia. Russian president Vladimir Putin has one of his ‘datchas’ here. The territory of the park that covers an area of 159 thousand hectares includes several lakes (Borovno, Valdai, Velje, Seliger) as well as rare animals and plants.

Many nature lovers come here to hike, swim in the lakes and camp. This year the big eco-trail was opened. If you enjoy hiking, you can walk all 59 kilometers in five days, starting from the town of Valdai and covering around 12 kilometers a day. On the way, you will have all the facilities needed for camping and spending time in nature, from toilets to camping equipment and various amenities. Visit the park’s website for more info.

5. Visit the Valday Iversky Monastery

Located on an island 10 kilometers from the town of Valday, this monastery appears to be floating on the lake, when you look at it from a distance.

This is a male Orthodox monastery established in 1653. It was one of the three monasteries founded by the Patriarch Nikon (his reformation of the Orthodox Church in Russia and its unification with the Greek Orthodox church caused the split between ‘old’ and ‘new’ believers). The icon of the Mother of God – Iverskaya – is the treasure of the monastery and the reason for the active pilgrimage to this place.

6. Ring the bells at the Valday Museum of Bells

The region of Novgorod was the center of Russian statehood under the rule of the Rurikovich dynasty. After the collapse of Kievan Rus’, the region was an autonomous Russian state with a republican form of government, the symbol of which was a big Bell that every citizen could ring in order to gather the townspeople for a vote or resolve a community issue. So it is not by accident that the first-ever Museum of Bells in Russia was opened here.

Valday Museum of Bells

If you manage to get Nadezhda Yakovleva for a guide, you are guaranteed a one-person performance along with your historical facts, it’s fascinating and great fun as well.

7. Immerse yourself in 10th-century life at the settlement in Lyubytino village

This village of ancient Slavs has been restored in order to give tourists the impression of life centuries ago. Different types of Russian wooden cottages (izba) are represented here, as well as utility buildings and the ancient burial mounds, used by Slavs for burial rites.

Lyubytino is an urban locality (a work settlement) and the administrative center of Lyubytinsky District of Novgorod Oblast, Russia, located on the Msta River. Municipally, it serves as the administrative center of Lyubytinskoye Urban Settlement

For those seeking total immersion, there is the possibility of getting dressed in the traditional clothing of the time and have a photo session.
