Research, Training and Consultancy Cell

Vision Circle was a forum launched in 2009 to march forward in the direction of quality teaching and learning. In order to meet the global challenges a teacher must be a constant learner and must upgrade herself to prepare the students to face the future challenges of fast changing educational requirements. The staff with great enthusiasm presented their papers through knowledge sharing sessions of vision circle. Motivated by the response college upgraded this circle to Research Training and Consultancy Cell, which will enable the faculty and students to pursue not only research activities but also training and consultancy research in better way.  The College has established a Research Training and Consultancy Cell to promote and inculcate interest in research activities among the students and staff of the college.
