Sochdhaara Research Based Education

SOCHDHARA – LETS RESEARCH

INTRODUCTION

The only thing that is constant in Academics is Research. The changing times bring with them demands for new ideologies, new concepts and actions to enhance the thought mobility of students as well as Faculty. It takes passion and inquisitiveness to re-visit an idea, explore, unexplore and re-explore it and then present a new dimension to the same. Technology has opened doors for researchers to delve into the depths and bring about useful and productive elements to the existential thoughts and concepts.

Sochdhara – Lets Research, an initiative by TIMR’s Research Committee, aims to develop and enhance the urge to research in its students. Human being is inquisitive by nature. So are the students. The only difference being that for students research as a word is not a very promising activity, and that ideology needs to be revamped. Through Sochdhara, the awareness amongst them shall be built as to research being a part of their daily lives.
