Response:
INCULCATION OF RESEARCH CULTURE AT GRASSROOTS LEVEL
After becoming a Deemed to be University, VIT has been committed to research by treating it as
the epicentre of growth and development in all directions. Such an approach has always been
driven by the farsightedness of a robust research culture that is imperative for building an ideal
society which aims at development of the people and the country in its entirety. This would in
turn, mean that research culture is fundamental to the growth of a society, as it would groom a
potential and knowledgeable population with high sense of rationality and utmost commitment to
society. However, admittedly, unlike the developed countries, a culture of research is largely
missing in our institutions of higher education, which are the major centres for enriching the
manpower at all levels. Keeping this in view, VIT has been making sincere attempts to inculcate
research culture from undergraduate levels.
