沙巴体育 04^th June 2022: The 沙巴体育 Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), 沙巴体育 -Student 沙巴体育 Forum (MSRF), and Centre for Doctoral Studies (CDS) under the aegis of the Directorate of 沙巴体育 (DoR), MAHE organized an academic event ‘Ph.D. Conclave -2022’ for final year Ph.D. scholars on 27^th and 28^th May 2022. Ph.D. Conclave is a competition that will provide a platform for Ph.D. scholars who are consistent in their research performance to showcase and communicate their ongoing research activities and research outcomes in a crisp and effective way. By doing so, these scholars will inspire other research scholars to perform better. In addition, the event will facilitate interaction among Ph.D. scholars, researchers, and faculty members of other Institutions promoting the exchange of ideas and innovations.

The inaugural ceremony was held on 27^th May 2022 at Sharada Hall, 沙巴体育 College of Health Professions, MAHE. Dr. Vasudha Devi, Deputy Director, Centre for Doctoral Studies, Directorate of 沙巴体育, MAHE provided an overview of the event and welcomed the gathering. The program was inaugurated by honourable Lt. (Gen) Dr. M.D. Venkatesh, Vice-Chancellor, 沙巴体育 Academy of Higher Education (MAHE). Dr. Satish Rao, Director-沙巴体育, MAHE was present during the inaugural ceremony. Ms. Megha Nataraj, Ph.D. Scholar, General Secretary of MSRF, and the event convenor rendered a vote of thanks. More than 150 members comprising the Heads of Institutions (HOIs), Functional heads, Heads of Department (HOD), Faculty & Staff, Ph.D. scholars, and other attendees were present.

During the inaugural function, Lt. (Gen) Dr. M. D. Venkatesh, said that, in the last 70 years, MAHE has been at the forefront of research-related activities. Further, in the last 2 years, MAHE has been encouraging high-quality research on social impact through research funding, research incentives, and scholarships. 沙巴体育 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 Ph.D. 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 the next few years. Therefore, it requires a collective effort and contribution from Ph.D. scholars, their supervisors, and Ph.D. coordinators.?
