Research Lab 2: Sociological Research and Community Outreach
Sociological Research and Community Outreach Laboratory has working space for cutting edge research by undergraduate & graduate students, research scholars, faculty, and all other stake holders. While rooted in rigorous theoretically informed way of knowing social reality, we are committed to connect with everyday social reality of our various communities of practice. This laboratory is computer equipped and encourages group interactions. We have some software for data analysis and storage space for equipments and research data.
The Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) was coordinated from this laboratory. We also guided several public engineering projects of the B.Tech. students here, including Aaadhyan. The current senior research scholars are Thakur Prem Kumar & Mr Shamsher Alam. Below is their photograph from an interactive session.
