Distinctiveness of the InstitutionTo make substantial contribution to the overall growth of the region and the nation at large is a part of our vision. Keeping this in view, we have contributed to the growth of Khamgaon region by creating two quality sporting facilities- viz.: a ten-lane state of the art swimming pool and an indoor stadium with two wooden badminton courts.
It should be noted that such sporting facilities were not available in Khamgaon earlier. Due to our projects, the people of Khamgaon city and the surrounding region have been benefitted. Khamgaon is a draught-prone area and yet, we have not only built a swimming pool of good quality, but are also maintaining it successfully since 2015. The people of Khamgaon region have been greatly benefited with access to the swimming pool and the indoor stadium.
The other major significant contribution that we have made to the overall growth of the region is the creation of research facilities in a wide area. Students and researchers, particularly in the field of science now have a wide choice for undertaking research.
Our institute has a state-of-the-art ten-lane Swimming Pool and an Indoor Stadium with two wooden and two regular badminton courts constructed with financial assistance from the UGC as well as from fundraising by the institution. Both these projects have made our institution unique because no other college in our university has both these facilities- particularly, the kind of swimming pool that we have. We got 1.53 crores from the UGC and we raised 1.43 crores from our alumni, staff and local community. Both these projects were successfully completed within the stipulated period and are running successfully. It must be mentioned categorically, that Khamgaon is a draught-prone area and there is a frequent shortage of water here. Still, we have not only built a swimming pool, but are maintaining it round the year. We are doing this with the help of our own sources of water which are able to supply water to us due to the massive water conservation and rain water harvesting projects on our campus. Our students, staff as well as the people of Khamgaon and surrounding places are being consistently benefitted by both these facilities. Our vision is to empower the local youth and community. With this aim, we are serving the local youth (including our students and youth from the community) and other citizens by providing them two important sporting facilities of excellent quality.
Apart from these facilities, we encourage our students and faculty members to undertake research. In the last five years, our faculty members have completed 06 Major and 02 Minor research projects funded by the UGC. One of our faculty members is carrying out a small research project funded by a local industry unit. We encourage and send our students to undertake summer research projects at premier research institutes like IISER, Kolkata. As a result, some of our students are presently doing their PG and research in premier institutes. We also encourage our faculty members to take up post-doctoral research. Dr H S Chandak, Assistant Professor of Chemistry completed his post-doctoral research in 2016-17 as a UGC Raman Fellow at the Rutgers University, USA. Dr D M Nagrik, Assistant Professor of Chemistry in our college has been granted two patents.
Ours is the only institution in the region to have such a wide-ranging and vibrant research activity and such a variety of research facilities.
