and which is of high international quality and impact. The University has a fine tradition of
exemplary scholarship and ground-breaking research. Its research expertise is often translated
into tangible benefits for the community.Our research priorities also focus on working towards
solving real life problems across the industry. We are driven by the passion to recognize the
benefits of collaboration with other organizations to enrich our academic programmes.
In order to promote research culture, a new scheme called Research Starter Grant was
introduced to support the young faculty to develop independent careers and make the transition
from working under a supervisor to being independent researchers in their own right. Faculty
undertake major research projects with financial assistance from various funding agencies
like DST, CSIR, UGC, DBT, etc. In order to promote interdisciplinary research and augment
research activities in frontier areas, the following research centres were established in the
University.
Centre for Integrated Rural Development Centre for Sustainable Urban Development

Centre for Climate Change & Disaster Mgmt. Centre for Gandhian Studies
Participatory ResearchThe purpose of research being building praxis between laboratory and land, projects (funded
by NABARD) on biological control of crop pests and diseases are being implemented for the
benefit of rural population. Field demonstrations are conducted regularly for creating awareness
on the usage of biopesticides in place of chemical pesticides. Cost effective, eco friendly
technology has been developed which is being disseminated to the farmers. On farmparticipatory research provides a venue to share the expertise of scientists in reducing
dependence on chemicals while marinating yield and quality of the farm produce.
The faculty of Dept. of Biotechnology, GIT, have taken up work leading to generation of
employment for rural unemployed youth. Dr. Ch. Murali Mohan has been granted a research
project from National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) in association
with Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) under Rural Innovation Fund on
Development of Entomopathogenic Fungal Biopesticide Formulations for Biological Control
of Agricultural Crop Pests. Under this project he prepared a Biopesticide product that can be
used in agricultural crops. The product was named as GITAM TRISHUL, a complex
Entomopathogenic fungal biopesticide formulation.
Directorate of Consultancy, Projects & Collaborations (CPC)The nature of consultancy capabilities of the Directorate include preparation of detailed project
reports, conducting topography surveys, design of industrial & multistoried structures,
environmental impact assessment, air and water pollution, global entrepreneurship, etc. The
