value of INR 5000 or actual, whichever is lower.
RD3.2.

Research Activity Recognition
RD4.1.
Recognition of a research Publication in
accordance to RD1.1 by the institution mandates the author’s name and
affiliation as per the Appointment Order. In case of multiple affiliations,
institutional affiliation may not be primary but definitely needs to be duly
recognized in the article/proof. Recognition refers to uploading of the
credentials of the Publication on the institutional website, personal
achievement of the staff and in accordance to RD2.
RD4.2.
Recognition of a research Publication in
accordance to RD1.2 by the institution mandates the author’s name and
affiliation as per the Appointment Order. In case of multiple affiliations,
institutional affiliation may not be primary but definitely needs to be duly
recognized in the article/proof. Recognition refers to uploading of the
credentials of the Publication on the institutional website and personal
achievement of the staff.
RD4.
Hierarchical Model for R&D Activity
RD4.1.
Research paper funding application should be
done through the HOD of the applicant’s department. The first level of
verification is conducted by the departmental R&D Committee member and
after validation; the application is presented to the Principal through the
HOD, for further processing/routing to the R&D Committee. The suggestions
of the R&D Committee in accordance to R&D Regulations should be sent to
the Principal for further action. The action may be communicated to the
applicant directly or through the HOD of the applicant’s department based on
the merits of the case and as deemed fit by the Principal, TIB.
RD4.2.
Any staff intending to avail RD2 is encouraged
to inform the R&D Committee, through proper channel, about the credentials
of the publishing house (where the applicant intends to communicate his/her
research) before communicating the research work. The R&D Committee in turn
validates the publishing house in accordance to R&D Regulations and informs
the applicant, through proper channel, about the credentials of the publishing
house in accordance to RD1 through RD3.
