The discovery of neutrino masses has provided strong hints in favor of the possibility that B-L symmetry is an intimate feature of physics beyond the standard model. I discuss how important information about this symmetry as well as other…

Seesaw mechanism has been a dominant paradigm in the discussion of neutrino masses. I discuss how this idea can be tested via a baryon number violating process such as $N-\bar{N}$ oscillation. Since the expected seesaw scale is high and the…

The Georgi-Glashow model is the simplest possible attempt at grand unification. However, due to its particle content, the model preserves a global $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry, where $B$ and $L$ are baryon and lepton numbers, respectively. It thus…

We show that in a large class of supersymmetric models with spontaneously broken B-L symmetry, neutron--antineutron oscillations occur at an observable level even though the scale of B-L breaking is very high, v_{B-L} ~ 2 x 10^{16} GeV, as…

In pursuit of a balance between theoretical naturalness and experimental testability, we propose two classes of multiple seesaw mechanisms at the TeV scale to understand the origin of tiny neutrino masses. They are novel extensions of the…

We explore baryon-number-violating ($|\Delta B| = 2$) processes beyond the well-known neutron-antineutron ($n - \bar{n}$) oscillations, focusing on the $\Lambda - \bar \Lambda$ system. The presence of a strange quark in the $\Lambda$ baryon…

Lepton flavour violation and neutrino masses are a signal for new Physics beyond the Standard Model and are deeply related. The minimal extension of the Standard Model to make it include neutrino masses is not satisfactory from a conceptual…

A new mechanism for generating neutrino masses without a high-energy mass scale is proposed. The mechanism needs a fundamental mass scale M in the 100-1000 TeV region and a minimal field content beyond the Standard Model one containing a…

Neutrino oscillations are a phenomenon that has been observed for over two decades and leads to the conclusion that neutrinos have mass. The Standard Model predicts massless neutrinos, and so neutrinos require physics beyond the Standard…

We develop a see-saw model for neutrino masses and mixing with an S3\times Z3 symmetry. It involves an interplay of Type-I and Type-II see-saw contributions of which the former is subdominant. The S3 \times Z3 quantum numbers of the fermion…

The origin of neutrino masses is currently one of the most intriguing questions of particle physics and many extensions of the Standard Model have been proposed in that direction. This experimental evidence is a very robust indication of…

In an endeavor to explain the light neutrino masses and dark matter (DM) simultaneously, we study a gauged $U(1)_{\rm B-L}$ extension of the standard model (SM). The neutrino masses are generated through a variant of type-II seesaw…

We discuss how the experimental neutrino oscillation data can be realized in the framework of the baryon triality ($B_3$) constrained supersymmetric Standard Model (cSSM). We show how to obtain phenomenologically viable solutions, which are…

In this doctoral thesis, we study both low- and high-energy observables related to massive neutrinos. Neutrino oscillations have provided indisputable evidence in favour of non-zero neutrino masses and mixings. However, the original…

The Extended Supersymmetric Standard Model (ESSM), motivated on several grounds, introduces two vector-like families [16+ 16-bar of SO(10)] with masses of order one TeV. In an earlier work, a successful pattern for fermion masses and…

After outlining some popular ways to go beyond the standard model so as to generate non-zero but tiny neutrino masses, I focus on several typical seesaw mechanisms and discuss how to get a balance between their theoretical naturalness and…

Implication of neutrino mass model based on $\Delta$(27) discrete flavor symmetry, on parameters of neutrino oscillations, CP violation and effective neutrino masses is studied using type-I seesaw mechanism. The Standard Model particle…

In the near future, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and the European Spallation Source aim to reach unprecedented sensitivity in the search for neutron-antineutron ($n\text{-}\bar{n}$) oscillations, whose observation would directly…

In the first part of the talk, three key ideas proposed in the 1970s, and in particular their combined role in providing an understanding of the neutrino-masses as well as of the baryon-asymmetry of the universe, are expounded. The ideas in…

We propose a gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension of the standard model (SM) to explain simultaneously the light neutrino masses and dark matter (DM). The generation of neutrino masses occurs through a variant of type-II seesaw mechanism in which…
