- The primary objective of CARD is to create a research culture among the stakeholders. A structured cadre has been established for promoting research.
- A strong contingent of 45 persons belonging to all disciplines such as Engineering, Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Basic Sciences, and Management are devoting their full time on research and development.
- The team is working on Wind and Solar energy, Environmental engineering, Alternative fuel, Nano-technology, Plant tissue culture, Animal Biotechnology, Fish Immunology, Stem cell research, Drug designing & Drug testing, Digital Innovations, Bigdata Analytics, Virtualisation, etc.,
Vision
The CARD is dedicated to develop advanced concepts and methods for complex problems, and pursuing solutions at the interfaces between fields through wide-ranging collaborations, conversations and educational programs.
The centre is committed to achieving its mission using innovative science, technology, education and Management, strategies having high impact for all stakeholders.
Mission
The CARD is an inter-disciplinary research community that expands the boundaries of scientific understanding.
It aims to discuss, Comprehend and communicate the common fundamental principles in complex physical, computation, biological and social systems that underlie many of the most profound problems facing sciences and society today.
Principles and Values
- Research will be applied innovative and of high quality.
- Research will be interdisciplinary and collaborative.
- Research findings will be widely disseminated.
- The center will provide a congenial and nurturing environment.
- The center’s policies and procedures will be transparent.
- Evaluation of the center’s activities will be frequent and transparent.
- The predominant aim of the university is to promote research and add something substantial to the existing quantum of knowledge.
- In keeping with this tradition, our university promotes research and consultancy apart from the conduct of classes, lab.
- Experiments and hands-on training in various disciplines. Many steps have been taken to encourage research.
- One such step is the establishment of CARD. To motivate the students for research our University provides adequate opportunities.
- The laboratories are well equipped with sophisticated equipment and other required infrastructure.
- A starter Grant is provided by the university for those teachers who can initiate research.
- All facilities are provided to prepare and submit major projects for funding agencies. Consultancy work is encouraged by offering 50% share to the staff involved in consultancy.
- University has subscribed to 11,717 e-journals to encourage research activities. The effort towards research and consultancy has resulted in the publication of quality research papers.
