Avishkar

“Doubt is often better than overconfidence,

For it leads to inquiry and inquiry leads to invention”.

-Hudson Maxim

The students are deputed to present their innovative research matters through research festival like ‘Anveshan’ and ‘Aavishkar’. Efforts are taken to develop research aptitude within the students.
The college organizes research festival ‘Avishkar’ annually in order to provide the scope for the manifestation of research potential and creativity within the students. Some of the faculty members take special efforts to create research interest within the students; consequently many students participate in ‘Avishkar’ and exhibited their innovative creations. Some of the students are selected for university and state level ‘Avishkar’.
To prove this, let’s see the case study of one of our student’s journey as a PG student to a state winner, a researcher for Ph.D. One of our M.Com students Mr.Shrikant Pandya has won the State level First Award in the “9^th Maharashtra State Inter University Research Convention –Avishkar 2014” organized by Maharashtra Animal and Fishery Science University, Nagpur on 21-23 January 2015. He got the Avishkar Fellowship of Rs.3,000 per months for 10 months (Rs.30,000) Considering his performance and to reward the researcher, the college selected him as the teacher in the next year 2015-16. The college promoted him for further research and he completed his M.Phil in April 2019. At present, he is a research scholar for Ph.D. under the research supervisor of the college, Dr.Brijmohan Dayma. Now, the scholar is guiding other students in research and allied matters. It is a perfect outcome of our ecosystem meant for research and innovations.
