RESEARCH CELL:
Research in academia is major responsibility. Our college has a rich tradition of active faculty researchers, who have from time to time taken advantages of the various government fellowships and programmes specially meant for research. Many of the faculties availed of Minor Research Projects, Senior Research Fellowships, travel grants and Faculty Development Programmes at various points of their careers. To keep the spirit of inquiry and research on, the college has instituted a Research Cell. The primary purpose for setting up the Cell has been to pass on the experiences of the senior researchers to the younger ones.
