The availability of magnificent academic buildings, communication network,
necessary collection in the library, modern laboratories, dedicated administrative staff and
well qualified team of teachers does built a very strong base for meaningful research and overall development of students at North Maharashtra University.
The unique School System adopted by the North Maharashtra University has
helped to develop team spirit in the faculty, which encourages students to undertake individual as
well as joint research projects. The Schools/Departments of NMU have well developed research
facilities, and have identified their thrust areas of research. Research Scholars are always
encouraged to participate in National and International level workshops and conferences so as to
develop courage for scientific interaction on public platform.
The post-graduate Schools/Departments offer research program leading to M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees. The teachers at NMU and their performance have brought number of
prestigious honours to the University, thus enhancing NMU's image in the eyes of authorities
from institutes of higher education inside/outside the country. The majority of teachers are
operating research projects and guiding M.Phil and Ph.D. students. During the last five years,
the teachers have published 150+ research papers, 91 in national and 59 in international journals.
The State Government and foreign countries recognized the performance of some teachers, which
resulted into awards and recognition like BOYSCAST, DAAD, UNESCO, Jan Tinbergen International
Young Statistician Award, and Joulio Curie Memorial Lecture Award etc. received by some of the
teachers of NMU.
The faculties recruited recently have 02
members having post-doctoral research experience. In all 115 students have been
registered fro Ph.D. and 54 Ph.D. have been awarded during post-accreditation period
in different Schools/Departments of the University. The publication out put in high
impact factor journals with good citation record has been impressive and exceeds
500. The Schools/Departments have established vital linkages and credentials with
industries through consultancy and transfer of technologies and generating revenue
for the University. The healthy research ambience has been reflected in :-
-
Sophisticated analytical instrumentation facility worth Rs. 4.0 crores.
-
Sound pilot plant facility for pre-feasibility/commercial viability trials e.g.
the School of Life Science is carrying viability trial for a multi-national pharma
company.
-
Organization of research conferences and seminars regularly.
-
Increased project funding from different supporting agencies for promoting research
facilities and work.
-
Establishment of collaborations and linkages with as many as 13 National and International
institutes/universities for promotion of research, publication of output and extension
activities.
The University is equally active in promoting
extension activities through the initiatives of Department of Adult & Continuing
Education and Extension Services.
The evaluative assessment under
research, consultancy and extension evaluation in terms of Ci � Wi grade is 1050.
The criteria score is 70 %. The previous assessment report made following positive
observations about research, consultancy and extension aspects :
-
Collaboration with National and International institutions.
-
Development and transfer of technologies through University-Industrial linkages.
-
Efforts to generate additional resources through consultancy and technology transfer.
-
The majority of teachers are engaged in research projects and guiding Ph.D. students.
-
Good research infrastructure.
-
Participation of students, employees and teachers in SHRAMADAN for development and
extension activities.
The University has taken action as follows:
-
The faculty members have published more than 500 research papers in National/International
journals in last five years as against 150 papers during previous NAAC assessment
period. Besides these, the Schools/Departments have organized 26 National/International
conferences and the faculty members have represented in 218 different conferences.
Six patents have been published and 03 patents are filed. The funding through sanction
of projects from agencies such as - AICTE, UGC, DST, DBT, CSIR, DRDO, ICAR etc.
have been generated to the tune of Rs. 636.08 lacs as against Rs. 02.02 crores in
previous NAAC assessment period.
-
The faculty members have maintained momentum in generation of revenue through consultancy
and technology transfer which is to the tune of Rs. 17.21 lacs.
-
The faculty members have received as many as 20 awards and recognitions during post
accreditation period.
-
The total number of books published by the teachers has been 38 as against 05 during
previous accreditation period.
