Rajagiri Research Forum
The Rajagiri Doctoral Centre aims to provide research scholars ample opportunity to develop their research abilities, knowledge, and disposition. The Rajagiri Doctoral Center introduced the Rajagiri Research Forum to foster exchanges and interactions that are relevant to research. This new effort will serve as a complementary initiative to the currently offered programmes. As an outcome, research scholars will be able to interact with highly motivated and knowledgeable researchers. At the forum, which will stimulate research orientation and scientific debate, there will be a gathering of experts, those interested in pursuing research careers, and organisations actively engaged in rigorous research. The primary activity of the platform consists of a series of informal gatherings initiated by the research scholars voluntarily. During these sessions, each scholar offers insights into their research area, methodology, techniques, and experiences with the other scholars. This forum will facilitate the scholars in indulging in constructive conversations on research. In addition, the experts will also share the theoretical and practical wisdom they have gathered over their journey as a researcher. This forum is open to participants, such as faculty members from various institutions, research guides, researchers, and representatives from relevant research organisations, to share their insights on research.
