ABOUT THE INSTITUTION

The Gandhigram Rural Institute (GRI), founded by two dedicated disciples and contemporaries of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. G. Ramachandran and Dr. T. S. Soundaram Ramachandran, has as its foundation Mahatma Gandhi’s revolutionary philosophy of Nai Talim, which effectively bridges the cognitive and practical dimensions, and focuses on the holistic development of learners, with an emphasis on skill development through value-based education, rooted in indigenous cultures and traditions. Since its establishment in 1956, GRI has been unstintingly contributing to higher education and has successfully pioneered rural higher education. The curricular model developed at GRI organically integrating teaching, research and extension has earned the Institute, the status of Deemed University in 1976 by UGC, the five-star status by NAAC in 2002, ‘A’ Grade during the re-accreditation in 2010 by NAAC and ‘A’ Grade in its third cycle of re-accreditation in the year 2016.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Mathematics was established in the year 1965 at the Gandhigram Rural Institute-Deemed to be University, Tamil Nadu. To compete with International Standards, Research on Stability Problems of Dynamical Systems including Neural Networks and Intelligent Systems, Fractal Theory and its applications, Fuzzy Clustering in Medical Images, Optimization in Marketing related problems, Control theory, Graph theory, Algebraic graph theory are being carried out and the results are published as articles in Internationally refereed journals.

The Department has published more than 507 research articles in the SCI journals with SCOUPUS citations more than 7236. Funding for research and development is provided by UGC, NBHM, CSIR and DST – SERB continuously for the past 15 years to the faculty members. As a result of consistent performance in research, the Department is recently upgraded with UGC - SAP (DSA-I). International level research collaborations are being undertaken with Deakin University, Australia, Institute of Mathematical Sciences, University of Malaya, Malaysia, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Yonsei University, South Korea, United Arab Emirates University, UAE, University of Texas at Arlington, Texas, USA, Pusan/ Kunsan National Universities, South Korea.

The Department successfully conducted five International Conferences upto 2019 and respective proceedings in CCIS volume 140 & 283 were published in the year 2011 & 2012 by Springer-Verlag. Proceedings of ICDCM-2017 were published in Global Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics volume 13, number 5, 2017. International Conferences in Proceedings of ICAAMMCT-2018 were published in the special issue of The Journal of Analysis in Vol. 27, issue 1 &2, 2019 by Springer. The Proceeding of ICDSMMCT-2019 will appear in International Journal of Dynamical Systems & Differential Equations by Inderscience. Also the Department organized successfully two International Workshops during 2018 & 2019.

ABOUT ICMMSC -2020

The International Conference on Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing (ICMMSC-2020) will be held in GRI-DTBU, Gandhigram, Tamil Nadu, India during February 19-21, 2020. The conference looks for significant contributions to all major fields of Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing. It is a prestigious event organized with a motivation to provide an excellent international platform for the leading academicians, research scholars, industrial participants and budding students around the world to share their research findings with the global experts. We hope that ICMMSC-2020 outcome will lead to significant contributions to the knowledge base in these up-to-date scientific fields in scope.
