Thematic Research Clusters

Thematic Research Clusters

The University provides a lot of emphasis on research along with the conduction of regular programmes like UG and PG Courses and M.Phil and Ph.D programmes. Keeping this in mind, this university has established and promoted the robust functioning of different research centers which will conduct purely interdisciplinary forms of advanced research. Given that objective, our university has already established ten interdisciplinary research centers involving various faculty members hailing from different disciplines who can offer perfect trans-disciplinary expertise to carry out advanced level research in various fields of study. All these centers together constitute the Thematic Research Cluster of our university that promote and actualize a perfect research environment for budding scholars as well as for experienced research oriented faculty members.
