E-Journal Publication “Research Era”
Objective: The objective is to cultivate students' research aptitude, scientific thinking, and writing skills.
Context: With the increasing use of research-based teaching methods and as a fundamental part of the curriculum, students are actively participating in research activities. However, the majority of work is currently done primarily to meet degree requirements. Therefore, the research journal "Research Era" was established to provide a uniform platform for students to document their research work. This initiative aims to broaden the horizons of students beyond the standard curriculum.
Practice: All the departments have been informed about this initiative by the Principal and the research cell. Students have been notified about the college's research journal through their teachers. Research papers written by the students are invited in a specific template format from all departments. The respective teachers guide students in preparing their manuscripts in the proper format. The received manuscripts undergo peer review and are recommended for publication. The journal is published annually and is released by the Principal in the presence of staff members. It is an in-house publication, and a soft copy of the journal is provided to the respective teacher guides and students.
Evidence of Success: The number of students participating in this activity is on the rise. Students are keen to learn about publication patterns and rules.
Problems Encountered: While students are willing to work on the projects, the documentation of project activities in the form of research papers is not being taken seriously. There is a need to enhance the writing and presentation skills of the students.
Resources Required: 1) Workshops, seminars, and guidance lectures need to be organized for students on how to write a research paper.
2) Funding is required for students' research activities.
3) Subscription to reputable research journals is needed.

Course in ChemDraw Software
This training program gives research researchers and postgraduate students the technical know-how to utilise ChemDraw software, which is a vital instrument for scientific research, for molecular modelling and chemical structure sketching.
Objective: Through practical instruction, participants' research skills and comprehension of intricate chemical compounds will be improved.
Implementation: The week-long course consists of hands-on exercises covering Chem Draw's essential functions, including creating molecular models, chemical structures, reaction routes, and spectroscopic interpretations. For efficient learning, interactive tasks and brainstorming sessions are incorporated.
Evidence of Success:Better research quality and presentations show that participants are adept at building precise chemical structures and models.
Resources include training materials, computers running ChemDraw software, and a location with internet and projection device capabilities.

Skill Development Programmes (SDP)
1. Basic Instrumentation and Laboratory Techniques (BILT)
2. Basic Computer and Software Skills (BCSS)
Objective: The objective is to train students in computer skills, basic instrumentation and laboratory techniques.
Context: Due to advancements in technology, students are required to learn computers as a compulsory subject in first-year graduation courses. Science stream students must also acquire knowledge of laboratory techniques. To meet these needs, the college's Innovation Cell has decided to offer two add-on certificate courses under the Student Development Program.
Practice: The Innovation Cell organizes two-week-long SDPs (training courses) for students every year, with a mandatory 30 contact hours of interaction. At the end of the course, a Program End Test (PET) is conducted, and successful candidates are awarded certificates.
Evidence of Success: There is growing interest among students in learning basic laboratory techniques and computer skills, as evidenced by the increasing number of participants each year.
