ABOUT
Research and development (R&D) includes activities that institutes or companies undertake to innovate and introduce new products and services. It is often the first stage in the development process. The goal is typically to take new products and services to market and add to the institute’s or company’s list of achievement and highlights. It is an art of Scientific Careful Investigation and Systematic Search for getting information on a Specific Topic. It is actually a Voyage of Discovery. Research is mainly based on the facts of Qualitative and Quantitative approach. It provides the bases nearly, for all Government Policies in their Economic System. AITM Supports and Encourages sustainable and Quality Research Activities to the Staff and Students Community. Presently more than 40 Faculty members are involved in Research work and Registered for their Ph.D., under various Universities. The Institution is also having Recognized Research centers in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Civil and Mechanical Engineering Departments approved by VTU, Belagavi. Further, it is proud to say that, the AITM has received Three Research Project Grants from VGST along with Awards to department of Civil Engineering, Physics and Chemistry in past two years.
