Each School / Department has been actively undertaking extension activities to (i) suit their P. G. curricula, (ii) identify real life problems for M.Sc. dissertations and Ph.D. themes and (iii) inculcate industrial culture among the students through industrial visits/training, so that their unknown fears and inhibitions for industrial jobs are desirably wiped out or at least minimized.
Extension studies (visits to industries and farms) also serve as a linkage between the needy of consultancy / technology and generators of resources on the one hand, rwhile teachers and esearch scholars with ideas, stamina and zeal for developing & transferring consultancy/ technology for bringing funds for future progress on the other hand.
In another area, senior faculty served as resource persons for refresher courses. Research scholars are encouraged to participate in national and international symposia so that they too develop courage for scientific interaction on public platform. Extension activities pertaining to identification of research theme are summarized in the following table.
