RESEARCH BUDGET
Total allocated budget for the Department of Research during the AY 2018-19 was 58,000
R.O. The budget specified for scientific activities was 50,000 R.O from which URB utilized
an amount of 26,118 R.O. for the approval of internal grants. The decline in the budget
utilization was due to several factors including stricter policies and stringent review
processes at College & University level. The practice was adopted to promote high quality
research culture. For the AY 2019-20, the total budget allocated for the Department of
Research is 62,600 R.O. out of which 47,000 R.O. is allocated for Research activities. Figure
