One Day Workshop on Research Challenges 2013 9th February 2013

About the workshop Teaching is indeed enhanced by Research. An inspiring and well informed teacher is the most important factor influencing student achievement. The process of continuous learning and updating the knowledge are very much essential for a good academician and those can be achieved through good research. The main objective of the workshop is to give motivation, overview and proper initiation to the processes of research for the young researchers and faculty. The key members of the research community will impart best practices for research and the participants will learn tips for researching and training to improve their research skills. Resource persons
