PREAMBLE

A centralized RDCC, OU was established in 1996. The RDCC coordinates and facilitates all the research and development activities at the University. It also facilitates and administers sponsored and consultancy projects. The Centre has played a vital role in bringing together the people from industries and faculties through consultancy projects. The Centre also played an important role for carrying out the project work by PG students in various departments.

MAIN OBJECTIVES OF RDCC

  1. Promoting external cash flow by facilitating consultancy activities.
  2. Encouraging research atmosphere in the University where teachers would be able to obtain extramural grants through research projects, consultancy and training programmes, etc.
  3. Facilitating extension of infrastructure & technical skills which would enhance the cash flow.
  4. Assisting teachers to file patent applications and obtain patents.
  5. Promoting close interaction between University, private and public academia to promote R & D activities through MoUs.


RDCC would enable the Consultancy Projects under three categories:
Category I: This Category involves only guidance/supervision/intellectual expertise by the Consultant without any utilization of departmental or laboratory assistance.
Category II: This Category involves lab/instrumentation facilities.
The Categories I & II projects would operate as per the existing modalities of the RDCC.
Category III: This category involves turnkey projects. The Consulter and the Consultant would submit the details of turnkey projects to the RDCC wherein RDCC would scrutinize the modalities of the projects for implementing them.
