RESEARCH OVERVIEW
At our college we keep our self engaged in various research activities. Here are some of the activity reports of the same. Research has been extensively promoted in our college in every faculty as it complements the quality improvement as well as development. The Research Committee along with the IQAC have been striving endlessly for provision of best possible research environment and maximal resources in every field of study. With the support of the Management, our college has started a Central Instrumentation Facility Centre which is equipped with high end instruments and laboratory facilities for research in physical, chemical & biological sciences. This has supported for dispersing a healthy research culture amongst the stakeholders who are consistently benefitted by visits of expert scientists, Professors, Industrialists invited in conferences and seminars. Funds for research has been liquidated through grants of CPE, minor, major research projects from UGC and other schemes.

Research Activities:
The committee provides all kinds of procedural, practical support to researchers and ensures that the required infrastructure is available.
-
Six laboratories Chemistry, Physics, Botany, Zoology, Microbiology and Geography are recognized for research work by the affiliating university. Eminent personalities from BARC, BAMU, NMU, RSTU-Nagpur have visited the college to inculcate a research environment amongst the budding researchers through their talks and experiences.
-
The college has got extra mural funding from the UGC, under the College with Potential for Excellence Scheme for Rs. 100 lakhs.
-
In view of the excellent progress by the 09 science departments, our college has been benefitted by Rs. 45,00,000/- under the Basic Research Grants scheme from UGC.
-
major and 19 Minor research projects costing Rs.93,20,000 /-funded by UGC, DST, BARC and MoEF have been successfully completed while 05 minor research projects have been submitted to UGC, DST, BARC, RGCST and DBT.
-
During the assessment period our college has organized 09 workshops on Training Programmes and has funded Rs.5,79,247/- for organizing National conferences.
-
College has received special grants of Rs.28,83,769/- for Additional Assistance and Rs.9,50,000/- from SERB for developing research facilities. The instruments/facilities created during the last four years is in the tune of Rs. 66, 27,451 /-.
-
12 faculties are recognized as research supervisors, 07 members are in editorial boards of journals, 19 faculties are the Life members of different subject associations / leading research journals and 09 faculties have received Research awards in National and International conferences.
-
Appreciable increase in the number of publications by faculty i.e. 476 has been observed and the ratio of publications to the faculty is 9.71. Faculty has 244 published books to their credit and there are 371 participations in National and International conferences, seminars etc.
-
Our staff members have bagged several awards for their best presentations at various International and National conferences. Besides this our research scholars are recipients of INSPIRE fellowship, CSIR-SRF, HG Raisoni Doctoral Scholarship, UGC-CSIR- JRF for their individual research work.
-
Consultancy services are provided at nominal rates and in some cases free of charge in microbiological sample testing, antimicrobial analysis, soil and water testing etc. However interdepartmental and inter-institutional research co-operation is extended free of charge by departments of Microbiology, Chemistry, Physics, Botany, Marathi and Commerce.
