3.1 Initiatives of the IQAC in Sensitizing/Promoting Research Climate in the institution

Internal Quality Assurance Cell encourages the staff to attend and present papers in seminars,

conferences etc., and to publish research papers in journals of national and international repute.

Also the departments are motivated to focus on developing the fundamentals of the respective

subjects by providing hands-on-training on the practical aspects of subjects. Visits to various

research institutions and industries are also organised from time to time. The students are also

encouraged to participate in various conferences and symposia which not only give them

opportunity to listen to various dignitaries from the field but also provide a platform to know more

about the thrust areas.

The College had been awarded Star Status by the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India.

Four departments of the college (Department of Biochemistry, Biomedical Science, Food

Technology and Microbiology) have been conferred star status by DBT in June 2017. Under the

aegis of this scheme, these Departments conduct extra value added practicals, minor research

projects to acclimatize the students to research and enhance the curriculum. Eminent scientists

from various research institutions and industries are invited to deliver talks so as to keep the

students abreast with the cutting edge research, facilitate interaction of the students with scientists

and foster their interest in research.
