NEED OF PROGRAM

There are various funding opportunities in every domain of science and technology for which funding agencies call for research proposals. Each time they receive proposals but only a few well-written grants qualify for the funding. Grant writing is a skill that needs to be addressed and developed among the faculties and researchers as it makes a big difference whether a proposal will get selected or rejected. No such event or conference has been organized by any institute in and around Saurashtra region for the last two years. Thus this symposium has a lot of importance in order to address this issue and create awareness among academicians and researchers of our as well as nearby institutes so that they can obtain funding from granting authorities.
