CENTRAL LABORATORY FACILITY
(CLF)
GUIDELINES FOR RESEARCH WORK
Central Laboratory Facility (CLF)
CLF is envisaged to inculcate and induct scientific temperament and
innovativeness in the scientific community, academia and students of the
state. This centre will not only provide the state of art instrumentation facility
to the scientists of the state but will also help in percolation of the new
innovation to the grass root level by facilitating issue based research in the
priority areas of the state’s development, imparting instrumentation training
to the budding researchers, providing quality assessment facility to the
industries of the state and documentation of the new innovations nationally
and internationally so that the state academia remains at par with the recent
trends in Science & Technological research.
Objectives
Domains of CLF encompass the following:
 Serve as an incubator for specific research programmes by providing
space, funds and facility to scientists of excellence nationally and
international.
 To provide state of the art instrumentation facility.
 To cultivate the instrumentation culture in the scientific community in the
state.
 Support/undertake research, design and developmental projects.
 To attract high level resources expertise by providing R&D opportunities
which would result in massive enrichment in scientific culture apart from
economic gains.
 To ensure capacity building in various faculties of science and technology
by imparting training to scientists, researchers, academicians and
entrepreneurs.
