Research support activities aimed at developing and integrating technologies both in advanced emerging areas and in traditional sectors. Under these R&D activities, feasibility of fresh ideas / concepts will be assessed for their potential into useful technology / product output.
- Proposals are supported under the R&D scheme of SGI Management.
- Applied Research and Analysis.
- Application oriented Research, Design and Development (RD&D) having Production Potential.
- Prototype Development of Products/System/Services/Software Development (new, up gradation of the existing, field trials and demonstration).
- Process Development (new, up-scaling of the existing, field trials and demonstration).
- Data Generation and Feasibility Study.
- Provision for Production Facility on a limited scale for a specific Technology Segment to enable the Technology to become competitive.
- Scientific Knowledge leading to future Technology Development
The aims & objectives of R&D Cell include Administrative Support, which are mentioned below:
- To motivate the faculty members of the group for R&D activities in the area of their interest.
- To promote Research and Training among faculty members through In-house funding & sponsored Research projects.
- To promote B.Tech final year students research projects and innovations.

- To create environment for faculty/students for opting for live projects, industry, Govt. sponsored projects.
- To collaborate with institutions of higher learning in India as well developed countries for Sandwich programmes/ Joint research projects.
- To develop modules for summer training for faculty of engineering colleges to upgrade their knowledge and skill.
- To make efforts for setting up entrepreneur training center in collaboration with SIDBI, NRDC & NGOs.
- To encourage faculty members of all the disciplines in engineering/science /humanities in R&D activities for their professional growth.
- To fulfil corporate social responsibility towards community.
- Conference /Symposium / Seminar / live workshop etc.
The main functions of R&D Cell include Administrative Support, which are mentioned below:
- In-house Project Grant to faculty.
- Sponsored Research Projects.
- Consultancy Jobs.
- Collaboration with Institutions in India and Abroad.
- AICTE funded Projects.
- Promotion of Institute-Industry interaction.
- Patents, Know-how and Transfer of Technology.
- Technology Development Projects Initiation Awards for Students (TDP-IAS).
- Research Assistance Grant to students of SGI and elsewhere.
- – Selective Scholarships to Research scholars in IInd phase.
- Market Research / Business Development.
- Conference /Symposium / Seminar / live workshop etc.
Therefore in order to achieve the objective the management has approved a budgetary support of Rs. 1 Crore per year for the next 3 years to cover the capital and revenue expenditure on project undertaken by the faculty. It is also expected that the faculty will supplement this by seeking more budgetary support (to the tune of 1:4) for securing sponsored projects from Industry and relevant government funding agencies.
