disciplines across the campus to establish a network among faculty members of
humanities and social sciences including arts, Indian languages, culture, law and
knowledge systems with the sciences and engineering disciplines. To encourage
academic interaction amongst faculty members from different stream of studies,
so as to identify the areas of mutual interests, which may bring exceptional
benefits for inter- and trans -disciplinary research, the University invites
