Mysore/Mysuru: “India is lagging behind in research though we have repository of scientific detail,” said Prof.Y.S. Siddegowda, Vice-Chancellor, Tumkur University, during the inauguration of the National Conference on ‘Emerging trends in Research, Writing and Publishing skills,’ organised by St. Philomena’s College Research Centre, Mysuru, in association with Department of Social Work and Elsevier Research Intelligent, Hyderabad.
Prof. Siddegowda elaborated on the parameters for University ranking at national and global levels. He added that, India is the third largest publisher of scientific articles and thanks to the ICT, there is a boom in social science research. Further, he stressed that, research should be taken seriously and should lead to the expansion of societal knowledge. It shouldn’t be done just to acquire a degree or a designation. Infact, every research should lead the society towards a better way of life and understanding of the same.
