and which is of high international quality and impact. The University has a fine tradition of

exemplary scholarship and ground-breaking research. Its research expertise is often translated

into tangible benefits for the community.Our research priorities also focus on working towards

solving real life problems across the industry. We are driven by the passion to recognize the

benefits of collaboration with other organizations to enrich our academic programmes.

In order to promote research culture, a new scheme called Research Starter Grant was

introduced to support the young faculty to develop independent careers and make the transition

from working under a supervisor to being independent researchers in their own right. Faculty

undertake major research projects with financial assistance from various funding agencies

like DST, CSIR, UGC, DBT, etc. In order to promote interdisciplinary research and augment

research activities in frontier areas, the following research centres were established in the

University.

Centre for Integrated Rural Development Centre for Sustainable Urban Development

Centre for Human Science & Service Centre for Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Centre for Climate Change & Disaster Mgmt. Centre for Gandhian Studies

Participatory ResearchThe purpose of research being building praxis between laboratory and land, projects (funded

by NABARD) on biological control of crop pests and diseases are being implemented for the

benefit of rural population. Field demonstrations are conducted regularly for creating awareness

on the usage of biopesticides in place of chemical pesticides. Cost effective, eco friendly

technology has been developed which is being disseminated to the farmers. On farmparticipatory research provides a venue to share the expertise of scientists in reducing

dependence on chemicals while marinating yield and quality of the farm produce.

The faculty of Dept. of Biotechnology, GIT, have taken up work leading to generation of

employment for rural unemployed youth. Dr. Ch. Murali Mohan has been granted a research

project from National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) in association

with Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) under Rural Innovation Fund on

Development of Entomopathogenic Fungal Biopesticide Formulations for Biological Control

of Agricultural Crop Pests. Under this project he prepared a Biopesticide product that can be

used in agricultural crops. The product was named as GITAM TRISHUL, a complex

Entomopathogenic fungal biopesticide formulation.

Directorate of Consultancy, Projects & Collaborations (CPC)The nature of consultancy capabilities of the Directorate include preparation of detailed project

reports, conducting topography surveys, design of industrial & multistoried structures,

environmental impact assessment, air and water pollution, global entrepreneurship, etc. The

consultancy services offered are well recognized by prestigious organizations such as NSTL,
