During the inaugural function, Lt (Gen) Dr M D Venkatesh, said that, in the last 70 years, MAHE has been at the forefront in research-related activities. Further, in the last 2 years, MAHE has been encouraging high-quality research of social impact through research funding, research incentives and scholarships. Research shouldn’t be seen just as an academic option, but rather as a career option. For a country to progress, research must happen for the creation of knowledge, creation of new services, and new ideas and discoveries. MAHE has been adding research output at a rate of 16% to 20%. However, MAHE is striving to increase it many folds. This is possible by the contributions from the major cohort of people who comprise mainly PhD candidates. He suggested that scholars should cross the limits, publish more, write more, and do more IPR-based activities and collaboration-based activities. MAHE aspires to be in the top 500 universities in next few years. Therefore, it requires a collective effort and contribution from PhD scholars, their supervisors and PhD coordinators.
