Research & Consultation
The research output of the faculty members is gradually on the rise. A good number of teachers possess Ph.D. degrees, and other faculty members engage in their pursuit of research work leading to Ph.D. degree. In addition to that the faculty members actively participate in the research work by availing of various research projects sanctioned by the funding agencies like UGC, DST etc. Some individual teachers are engaged in collaborative research work, and also supervise the research scholars. Being an affiliated UG college, we do not have much scope for the students to undertake research. The college places adequate thrust upon the need for greater research output by the faculty members, and seeks to provide infrastructural facilities and other resources to the faculty. The college plays proactive role in encouraging the teachers to take up research works by granting study leave, on-duty leave to the concerned teachers.
A good number of policies are in place to recharge the teachers. Many teachers have availed of the UGC FDP Programme for their research work and they have successfully submitted the thesis of their research work and got Ph. D. Award. A considerable number of teachers have completed their Minor Research Projects in the last few years. Details of individual Research Project undertaken by faculties are given in the following table:
