there is better conceptual understanding of the subject among the
students. Faculties are motivated to pursue higher studies.
4. The Practice
The importance of the best practices in education can be easily
underlined in this powerful, but unsurprising shift. It took a long time,
but the change is here, studies have proven that teachers and pupils alike
have found it limiting to keep the traditional form of the classroom.
The institute has various departments like Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology
and Quality Assurance, where each departmental laboratory had strong
research capabilities, highly qualified and well trained human resource
and excellent research environment.
Institute has also contacts with more pharmaceutical industry to meet the
above objectives and come out with innovative research outcome that
will provide latest trends in research and development, industrial
training and acquire best skills in pharmaceutical sector.
The institute has adopted various approaches to meet best practice of
Innovation in Education and Research through the following activities
like holding multidisciplinary workshops, symposia and seminars, guest
lectures for advancement of knowledge and skills.
Identify topics and projects that could be offered with innovative
teaching methods and multidisciplinary approach as well as Industry
defined projects.
To identify the state of art (New area of research) technology.
To motivate the faculty and student to do research.
To organize conference, workshop, seminar & symposium to create
awareness among Faculty and students about emerging trend in related
area.
To motivate the faculty and student to present/ publish the research
papers at reputed journals and conferences.
To identify thrust areas to know the individual research interest
supporting infrastructure considering the thrust area and state of art.
NAAC SSR 2017
Vidyabharati College of Pharmacy, Amravati Page 192
To create the awareness about various funding scheme of Government,
AICTE, DST, ICMR, etc., and motivate the faculty to prepare good
research proposals.
To organize visits to research organizations, National Laboratories, etc.
To create the awareness about patent/innovating intellectual rights.
To encourage the consultancy in related areas.
To develop research culture in Institute and lifelong learning skills
among students / faculty
5. Evidence of Success
The various departments of institute has applied for multidisciplinary
projects.
Good number of faculty from the institute have registered for Ph.D. and
few more are in the process of registration Faculty are involved in
writing research proposals to various National funding agencies.
Many students are involved in this real time problem solving group, so
as to nurture their R&D competency Institute is running three PG
courses across the departments. Institute is having registered research
Centre for Ph.D.
The college Faculties and Students, organize workshop/conference and
etc., various conferences are conducted sponsored by different agencies.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
Strengthening of infrastructure and research facilities in interdisciplinary
areas where the facilities can be availed from nearby areas, moreover
researchers with good research experience are required for multi-
disciplinary research.
Hence experienced Staff members in different departments of
Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics and Quality Assurance, Pharmaceutical
chemistry, Pharmacognosy are available and can increase the exposure
to research in emerging areas.
NAAC SSR 2017
