Overview of the Cell

“No research without action, no action without research.” – Kurt Lewin (1890-1947), German-American social psychologist.

Research stands as an indispensable pillar in the teaching-learning continuum, recognized as the bedrock of education. It serves as a conduit for educators to identify collaborative opportunities, share knowledge, embrace innovative practices, and cultivate skill development. Acknowledging the pivotal role of research in education, Shree L.R. Tiwari Degree College has instituted its Research & Development Cell, providing a platform for faculty members and students across disciplines to exchange expertise and enhance their research acumen.

Our approach integrates research seamlessly into academics, fostering strategic partnerships with leading institutes and universities at the forefront of pioneering technologies. By intertwining research with academic pursuits, our goal is to equip every member of our institution with the latest skills and knowledge in their respective fields. This collaborative environment enriches the research experiences of our faculty and students, empowering them to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and the development of innovative practices.
