We have allocated 8 crores for research, teachers are also interested in research. Last year our university teachers published 700 research papers in various international journals.
He said, according to the instructions of the Prime Minister, new departments or faculties cannot be opened in our university, the quality of those who will be admitted must be ensured. We are working towards that goal. I am doing what is necessary to ensure the quality of teachers-students, officials-employees of the university. We are moving ahead with the goal that the people of the country expect from a university. I hope that with the joint efforts of all, this university will go to a unique height in the outside world. This requires everyone's cooperation.
