We are pleased to publish our quarterly activities up to 31 December 2015 before you.
Our e-Newsletter mostly focuses on the events in which our faculty and students have shown their interest in the higher learning as well as research field.
Our College organized a National Level Conference on Mathematics Technology and Innovations in Maths Education during 4 to 7 December 2015. This was really a notable event as the Conference really proved a great success. Teachers and scholars in Mathematics from all the states in Maharashtra participated in this Conference. Most of our faculty members visited different IIT campuses for Summer Research Fellowships and Faculty
Development Programmes. Some of our faculty also underwent an Industrial Training during vacation period. Therefore, these kinds of events and active involvement in such programmes helps the faculty members to develop a value-added confidence and also motivates others to be part of such programmes. Providing exposure to the faculty and students is the key of quality development and progress and our College motivates the faculty for the same.
