Mum Univ releases Rs3cr for research projects

MUMBAI: After a year’s delay, Mumbai University will release close to Rs 3 crore for 1,179 minor research projects.
While these funds are granted every year, for 2019-20, disbursal was delayed on account of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In 2018-19, the university spent Rs 2.3 crore on 629 research proposals.
With the delay, the number of research proposals the university is funding has gone up by 87%.
Of the 1,179 projects, the highest number came from the science faculty (399), followed by engineering (361), and then commerce (245) and anthropology (174).
In 2017-18, the university funded 463 projects with Rs 1.5 crore.
Financial aid for minor research proposals are given in phases based on developments on the projects, said university registrar Baliram Gaikwad.
He said processing for the 2019-20 applications took time due to the pandemic.
The funds are provided to encourage research among university and college teachers.
The projects are selected for aid after an expert committee scrutinises the proposals.
The amount of Rs 3 crore is about 70% of the total Rs 4.2 crore allocated for minor research projects.
