3.1.4 Efforts to develop Research Culture among staff and students

Though the college is an UG level college, there is sincere effort to develop research culture among the staff and students. Since student research projects are a part of Under Graduate curriculum, laboratory facilities, books and journals are available in the departments for this purpose. College library is also endowed with relevant books and journals. The department of Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Mathematics and Zoology send their students to external research centers; the department of botany, zoology and geography offer facilities for project work through field studies. Students are taken on visits to research centers and industries to motivate them towards research. Field visits of the students are funded by the college management. Paper presentations by the students are organized by most of the departments. The students of the Botany department are engaged in scientific naming of the trees in the campus for sensitizing students about the importance of conservation of plants. Various departments utilize students’ research aptitude and practical skills in conducting exhibitions in the annual Youth Festival. Establishment of DBT sponsored Institutional Level Biotech Hub (IBH), implementation of DBT sponsored Star College Scheme, arrangement of Invited Talk by renowned persons of different field of research, arrangement of Student Seminar, etc. are some of the efforts to develop research culture among staff and students. Faculty members are encouraged to attend seminars, workshops, summer schools, etc. organized by different institutes and the college itself.
