The Context:

The college is a unit of higher education which aims at providing high quality education at low cost. Gone are the days when academicians would sit in ivory towers and look down upon lesser mortals. The current demand of the society is for the learned to come down to earth and return to the society what they have received in a more beneficial form. The repute of any educational institution rests on teaching – learning process and research activities. Research therefore is the back bone for the development of the students, teachers and the institution The college being conscious of this state of affairs, has been giving dynamic thrust towards developing and augmenting the research activities of the college to keep abreast of the advances in the fields of science, commerce and arts.. Inculcating research aptitude in faculty members and students has taken priority almost equal to the teaching-learning process. The competency of the students to face the challenges of the society at the end of their tenure will be enhanced not just by their grades and ranks but the ability to apply their knowledge, analyse the problem, synthesize a solution and valuate the outcome. These skills are developed by working on real time projects during their academic career. In order to direct the students along these lines, the faculty also have to be fully equipped in planning and guiding research. Just as much as the teaching learning process is a partnership between the teacher and the student, so also is the research and development process in which the guide and the researcher have equal role to play. In most P.G. Courses through dissertations and projects and effort is made to introduce the students to the fundamentals of research.
The outcome of research should be relevant to the societal needs and the society. Therefore, taking up research activities shapes a person with moral responsibility and a value system that enhances his/ her commitment towards fulfilling the needs of the society. Thus the college wishes to show- case the R&D activities of the college as one of the best practices and has worked hard towards its promotion during the last five years.

The Practice:

The final year students have to take up and complete project work. Turning this to the advantage of students, the nature of project work assigned to the students is of quality and sometimes if the students wants to do Ph.D. latter on the topic of the project it is expended to lead to her synopsis for Ph.D.
Faculty pursuing Ph.D and with Ph. D. degrees are encouraged to attend and present papers in national and international conferences to get exposed to recent and emerging trends in their fields of interest.
Eminent researchers are invited to campus for delivering lectures during National and International seminars/ workshops/ conferences organized by the various departments in the college to boost the knowledge level of the faculty and the students.
Memorandums of Understanding have been signed with GBU & I.T.S. engineering college and other agencies and such a practice plays a vital role in interaction of faculty and students with the industries and design projects in collaboration with them. These Institutions has rich library facilities also which act as catalyst for students in preparing research materials.
