Alumni Symposium (RSAS) on March 7-8, 2014.

This will be third such symposium after the success-

ful ones in 2008 and 2010 (which were then called as

Research Scholars Confluence - RSC). As knowl-

edge sharing is very important for research, a seam-

less interaction with peer level researchers and pro-

fessionals is desirable. With this motivation, RSAS is

being planned with an extended scope whereby re-

search scholars from other institutes will be invited

to participate in it so that research scholars commu-

productive and applied research.

neurial career directions after PhD.Thereby promoting collective reflection on research

endeavors and their role in betterment of society.
