Dr Sushila Nayar Scheme for Promotion of Undergraduate Research

In order to nurture the research culture at MGIMS further, in 2014, an annual award was instituted for undergraduate research named after our founder Director, Dr Sushila Nayar. The award session provides a platform for young researchers to hone their skills in presenting scientific research and prepares them for dissemination of research findings in scientific fora.

Beginning 2017-18, the undergraduate award was made part of a comprehensive approach to build a conducive environment for undergraduate research, known as ‘Scheme for promotion of undergraduate research’, and includes research grants, travel grants, incentives for publication of papers and periodic need based workshops in order to build the research aptitude of undergraduate students.
