             RESEARCH BUDGET


             Total allocated budget for the Department of Research during the AY 2018-19 was 58,000

             R.O. The budget specified for scientific activities was 50,000 R.O from which URB utilized
             an amount of  26,118 R.O. for the approval of internal grants. The decline in the budget

             utilization  was  due  to  several  factors  including  stricter  policies  and  stringent  review
             processes at College & University level. The practice was adopted to promote high quality

             research  culture.  For  the  AY  2019-20,  the  total  budget  allocated  for  the  Department  of
             Research is 62,600 R.O. out of which 47,000 R.O. is allocated for Research activities. Figure

             3 shows the budget utilization for the AY 2018-19 while figure 4 shows the comparison of
             budget utilization over the past 5 years.
