The university gives utmost importance to research and development and has therefore established an R&D Cell to promote scholarship, motivate faculty members and young scholars to explore new and cutting-edge areas of research.The cell aims at facilitating research activities in the university, collaboration between academia and industry, and initiating students into research. There is a well-defined R&D policy in place. The R&D Cell of the university is headed by a director; Dr Sridhar Sanyasi (Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry) is the present incumbent.
Within a few days of its establishment, the R&D cell has become active and vibrant. The achievements of our faculty members and students bear testimony to the shaping influence of the cell.
Message from Director, R& D Cell
Dharanidhar University, which is located in Keonjhar is uniquely blessed with diverse cultures and is rich in mineral resources. The ecology and the biodiversity of the region provide unique opportunities for researchers of the university. The Research & Development Cell of the University has been established to aid the University in its pursuit of knowledge and for creating a research eco-system, which would explore diverse indigenous cultures, tap into the region’s rich natural resources and biodiversity.
I am sure, the university will attain excellence and carve a niche for itself in the global research arena. The R&D cell of the University will play a pivotal role in finding real-time solutions to a wide range of local as well as global challenges with respect to livelihood, agriculture, food security, climate change, water, air pollution etc. It will also boost the local economy, contribute to national growth and development. Ultimately, it aims to fulfil the national mission “Viksit Bharat 2047”. Moreover, it will enrich global research repository and play its part in addressing the challenges faced by the world-community.
