About Research

Research is a cornerstone of higher education, driving knowledge advancement, innovation, and societal progress. Its importance lies in its multifaceted contributions. Research fuels innovation and technological breakthroughs, which are essential for sustainable economic growth. Higher education institutions play a pivotal role in addressing complex global challenges such as climate change, public health, and sustainability through focused research initiatives. Faculty engaged in research bring cutting edge knowledge and new perspectives into the classroom, enriching the learning experience. Integrating research with teaching equips students with critical thinking skills, analytical abilities, and a problem-solving mindset—essential traits for future leaders and innovators. Research fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing. It encourages academic networking, leading to partnerships that result in groundbreaking discoveries. These collaborations often give rise to interdisciplinary approaches, which are crucial for tackling complex, multifaceted problems that cannot be addressed by a single field alone. Recognizing the transformative power of research, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 places strong emphasis on strengthening research in higher education. NEP 2020 aims to develop India’s research capacity, foster a culture of research excellence, and elevate the nation’s position as a global knowledge leader.
