Presently University comprises of thirtyeight Postgraduate Teaching Departments (PGTD), three Constituent Colleges/Institutions (Law college, Laxminarayan Institute of Technology, and College of Education). The university offers courses in various faculties such as Arts, Science, Law, Social Science, Commerce, Home Science, Education, Pharmacy etc. The faculty of University are carrying out research in thrust and interdisciplinary areas and the research is being supported by various + funding agencies. In January 2009 the University was accredited with “B ” grade by NAAC. About the Technology Park The Technology Park (TP) of the Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur was established in 2007 with an objective to bring the academicians, researchers and industrialists on a common platform for mutual benefits and for benefit of the society at large. The park acts as a bridge between academicians and industries and channelizes the institutional activities to provide long lasting solutions to industries. The aim of the TP is to create an atmosphere for innovation and entrepreneurship for active interaction between University and industries for sharing ideas, knowledge and experience and provide facilities for the development of new technologies and their rapid transfer to the end user. Further, the TP commercializes the universities researches and expands the universities and industrials relations. The TP will suggest the researchers of the university departments to generate research output keeping the industrial demands in mind. Moreover, the TP will assure and ensure industries to provide skilled manpower from the university departments for the optimum benefit for their industries. Objectives of the Technology Park: · To organize yearly workshop/ training for university teachers and industrialists to facilitate interaction between the university, industries, R & D institutions and government/ private/ NGO's for upgrading science and technology; · To invite and undertake research projects from industries to promote applications oriented research and technology transfer and · To establish Incubation, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre. Workshops organized so far by the Technology Park: 1) The Technology Park in association with the Vidarbha Productivity Council, Nagpur had o rg a n i z e d “ D i s c u s s i o n - c u m Wo r k s h o p o f U n i v e r s i t y t e a c h e r s a n d Industrialists/Entrepreneurs of Nagpur area” on 10th October 2008 at Convocation Hall of University. 2) The “Technology Park” and “University-Industry Interaction Centre” of the Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur organized a Workshop “Current Research Scenario in the University: Prospects for Industries” on 29th March 2012 at the Auditorium of Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences of University. 3) “An Interactive Workshop between University and Industries for Technology th Development and Transfer” on Wednesday, the 29 August, 2012 at the Gurunanak Bhavan of University.
