Research & Development Policy

National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 encourages Higher Education Institutions to establish Research and Development Cell (R&D Cell) and promote the quality research within the education System. In any technical education institution, research innovation, and development are crucial components in improving the quality of teaching. R&D Cell which aims to nurture research culture in the institute by promoting research in newly emerging and challenging frontier areas of Engineering, Technology, and Science & Humanities. It encourages the students and faculty undertake the research in newly emerging frontier areas including multidisciplinary fields. This enhances the general research capability of budding technocrats by way of participating in conferences, seminars, workshops, project competitions etc. Also, Teaching and Research are considered the twin primary objectives of a teacher working in educational Institutions/universities with recognized Research Departments.

According to NEP 2020, our institution is continuously encouraging, supporting, and promoting R&D activities towards achieving the vision and mission of the institute. The individual departments have R&D centres with senior faculty members. The centre manages all the research activities of the college by monitoring and coordinating the various research programs. It facilitates interaction with external agencies for funded R&D projects, and also promotes and manages Institute-Industry interaction.

Objectives of R & D Centres

To create awareness and opportunities in Research and Development among the faculty and students to create a Research and Development atmosphere in every department
To motivate the faculty members to improve their knowledge and skills in emerging and challenging frontier areas.
To encourage staff members and students to publish technical papers for publishing in National and International conferences/Journals.
To undertake research activities and development projects offered by agencies such as DRDO, VTU, DST, AICTE, KSCST, VGST etc.
To assist for applying and getting funds for conducting Seminar/Workshop/FDP from various available funding agencies.
To facilitate the growth of research activity among the academic community
To coordinate faculty level workshops and staff development activities on research related issue.

The Institute affirms the following principles concerning research:

Individual researchers should be allowed to choose the topic of their studies, and obtain funding for their study from any legitimate source, and come to their own conclusions. Peers should be able to review and critique these results and conclusions.
Research methods should not go against accepted professional ethics in regard to human health, safety, privacy, and other rights as well as the suffering or injury of animals
By providing appropriate infrastructure, such as space, a library, lab facilities, and financing if available, based on the educational quality of the planned research, you can create an environment that is conducive to research.
