It is noteworthy that Anveshan 2017 provides a platform to the young brains to become trend setters and role models of a vibrant India. With a view to inculcating a research culture in higher education institutions, the Research Division of Association of Indian Universities, has taken a pioneering initiative to organize Student Research Conventions for the aspiring researchers throughout the country. These Conventions aim at identifying the young and rising talents, who would be promoted through proper encouragement and incentives. Also an attempt shall be made to commercialize their research projects with industrial collaboration. The conventions are being organised in Five Zones ie : East, West, North, South and, Central. MRIU Teams have excelled from the North Zone at the Convention held at Chitkara University Punjab.
Ecstatic with the win, Dr Prashant Bhalla, President, MREI said, “The Teams from MRIU have done us all proud with their amazing performances at the North Zone Convention of Anveshan 2017. MRIU’s consistent efforts and ceaseless mission to promote and accelerate scientific research and innovation and their application towards community development seems to have borne fruit. It gives me immense pleasure that our enterprising students are a part of a breed of young and rising talents in the country who are bound to bring about massive transformation in the country!”
