KUHS QAS A+ Accredited Since 17.01.2024
This Criterion seeks information on the policies, practices and outcomes of the Institution, with reference to research, innovations and extension. It deals with the facilities provided and efforts made by the Institution to promote a ‘research culture’. The Institution has the responsibility to enable faculty to undertake research projects useful to the society. Serving the community through extension, which is a social responsibility and a core value to be demonstrated by Institutions, is also a major aspect of this Criterion.
The focus of Criterion III is captured in the following Key Indicators:
3.1 Resource Mobilization for Research (17)
3.2 Innovation Ecosystem (10)
3.3 Research Publications and Awards. (23)
3.4 Extension Activities (50)
3.5 Collaboration (20)
*Not Applicable to Affiliated Colleges
The Institution provides support in terms of financial, academic and human resources required and timely administrative decisions to enable faculty to submit project proposals and approach funding agencies for mobilizing resources for research. The Institutional support to its faculty for submitting research projects and securing external funding through flexibility in administrative processes and infrastructure and academic support are crucial for any Institution to excel in research. The faculties are empowered to take up research activities utilizing the existing facilities. The Institution encourages its staff to engage in interdisciplinary and interdepartmental research activities and resource sharing.
The Institution has created an ecosystem for innovation including incubation centre and other initiatives for creation and transfer of knowledge. The Institution conducts workshop/seminars on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Industry-Academia Innovative practices. Awards for innovation won by Institution/teachers/research scholars/students, start-ups incubated on-campus are explicitly commended by the Institution.
Exploration and reflection are crucial for any teacher to be effective in one’s job. Quality research outcome is beneficial for the discipline, society, industry, region and the nation. Sharing of knowledge especially theoretical and practical findings of research through various media enhances quality of teaching and learning. Research acumen in an Institution is an evolving feature reflecting various research output with clear records such as - doctoral, post-doctoral, projects, inventions and discoveries, number of patents obtained and number of research publications.
Learning activities have a visible element for developing sensitivities towards community issues, gender disparities, social inequity etc. and in inculcating values and commitment to society. Affiliation and interaction with groups or individuals who have an interest in the activities of the Institution and the ability to influence the actions, decisions, policies, practices or goals of the organization leads to mutual benefit to both the parties. The processes and strategies inherent in such activities relevantly sensitize students to the social issues and contexts. Sustainable practices of the Institution leading to superior performance results in successful outcomes in terms of generating knowledge useful for the learner as well as the community. Extension also is the aspect of education which emphasizes community services. These are often integrated with curricula as extended opportunities, intended to help, serve, reflect and learn. The curriculum-extension interface has an educational value, especially in rural India.
Through collaboration the HEIs can maintain a closer contact with the work field. It helps keep the academic activities in the HEI in a more realistic perspective and also expand the scope of learning experiences to students. Collaboration can be sought with academic Institutions or industry or other agencies of professional and social relevance. The range of activities could include training, student exchange, faculty exchange, research and resource sharing, among others. For making collaborative endeavor impactful it is necessary there is a formal agreement or understanding between the Institution and other HEIs or agencies for such activities.
