Under this project almost all the existing laboratories were strengthened and modernized besides establishing six new laboratories at an expenditure of 419 lakhs enabling the staff, students, and research scholars to conduct experiments in current areas of research. 33 class rooms were transformed as digital class rooms by equipping them with digital interactive panels which enable recording of all the proceedings of the class including what is written on the board and the same can be shared with students through screen sharing or internet soon after the class is over thus making the students focus more on what is being taught rather than copying down the same. 32 research scholars were paid a research assistantship of about 100 lakhs. 62 conferences, seminars, and staff development programs were conducted apart from deputing staff and students to various training programs and conferences at premier institutes like IITs and IIMs with an expenditure of 127 lakhs benefiting about 8500 staff and students.
