Promotion of Research

The Research Committee since 2011 has been carrying out its objectives in the form of promoting research, talk symposiums, research consultancy, writings and publications by scholars. Its main task is to convene meetings of all PhD degree holders of the college and prompt them in applying research related activities through various funding agencies. It also initiates minor research projects, organises research activities, writer’s workshop, intellectual debates, seminars, and is currently developing the Indo-Myanmar Tribal Research Centre (IMTRC).

In 2018, the college established the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Cell, and signed a MOU with the Patent Information Centre (PIC), Nagaland Science and Technology Council Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of Nagaland in 2019. The main aim of the IPR Cell is to create awareness about matters relating to Intellectual Property Rights among students, researchers and faculty. The IPR facilitates and guides students and researchers on IPR filing to PIC and NASTEC. It also organizes awareness programs in collaboration with PIC, NASTEC in the campus and affiliated colleges.

There is dissertation writing for students in the PG departments of Environmental Science, Geology and Political Science, and in Philosophy UG programme under the guidance of the college faculty in the concerned area of study. Research Methodology is offered as a separate course at the PG level for equipping the students with future research endeavours. The Research committee also publishes an annual research peer reviewed journal of the college namely Patkai Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies (PJMS).
