Implementation of Research Findings should be mandatory
01/12/2022
An effective, relevant, and quality research program is crucial to a nation's development. UGC, New Delhi recently reformed Ph.D. regulations, which is a very welcome step. An excellent step is to stop researchers from submitting research papers for Ph.D.s. Not requiring prior publication in the Ph.D. award process is a very appropriate step. When the Ph.D. research publication is the most significant research publication, why is it published at the micro level? The decision to make publication not a requirement for the award of a Ph.D. is an excellent one. There are some people who have started research publication factories.
Regardless of whether a research paper is relevant to your research findings or not, you pay the money and publish it. I believe that there still needs to be some reform. The University Grants Commission in New Delhi ought to make it a rule that degrees can only be granted when the results of your research are relevant; otherwise, they shouldn't. More important than the amount of time spent on research is how the findings are put into practise. The universities or funding organisations for research should inform the researchers of the applications made of their findings. which policy has employed them. I had two significant research projects completed that were funded and approved by UGC, New Delhi, but I have not yet heard anything about how the results of my research have been applied. Teaching- research- practice needs to go hand in hand. Quality and Excellence in Research is need of the hour. The research findings should have social impact as well.
