Vivekananda Centre for Research (VCR)
Research is the compass that guides us through the unknown.
The college features a research wing called the "Vivekananda Centre for Research" that is affiliated to the University of Calcutta. All the research activities that take place in the college both intra and interdisciplinary, thus undergo a proper mode of operation that a Research Centre is endowed with. Currently, the college offers PhD programmes in Chemistry, Physics and Computer Science IThe 8-storeyed Annex Building built recently has significantly boosted our research activities by providing the necessary lab infrastructure space to conduct research activities. Our laboratories with modern equipment, and smart class rooms have enabled researchers as well as teachers to conduct research and online-teaching seamlessly. This Centre for Research has various ongoing research projects under some of the distinguished faculties of our college. Quite a few candidates have already been awarded their Ph.D degrees under this Centre, while many others are in the pipeline. Few research groups are also actively engaged in offering research consultancy to external institutes and firms. A few books published under the aegis of this Centre have already been well received by the academic community. In course of time we look forward to start research programmes in the humanities as well. We are planning to introduce Ph.D programme in Sanskrit soon.
