About Department

The economic globalization has been ruling Indian markets from 2000 onwards. Undoubtedly, this has created ample opportunities for our products to reach the global village; yet, in comparison to the quantum of import of technology and business development, our indigenous concepts and products have enjoyed miserably low rate of market acceptance, apart from very few exemplary exceptions. Further, there has been multiple fold growth in the number of cream level employment seekers in foreign MNCs located in India.

Consequently, we are losing the diverse talents that are available with the outgoing feedstock of technical institutions and Universities, numbered in tens of thousands, in our country. As a result, the education sectors, on which, the country has highest economic thrust after the defense sector, has very marginal to offer back to the economic development of the country.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, through its on-campus Departments as well as Departments running in sub-centers of the University has always nurtured a holistic and congenial atmosphere for sustained escalation in frontier level research and development in sectors of technical and economic significance. For example, the Department of Physics of the University has established state-of-the art platform for cutting edge research in materials science with quality research outcome the Department of Computer Science and Information Technology has well established track record in human-machine interface, the Department of Zoology has set up a unique infrastructure for research in DNA barcoding technology and established a ‘ Paul Hebert Centre for Barcoding Technology and Biodiversity Studies’ , the University Department of Chemical Technology has a long record of quality research in pharmaceuticals and food processing, the Department of Botany has come up with innovative research in tissue culture which is truly encouraging for agricultural applications. Likewise, spectrum of technical and science colleges have come up with quite a lot of ideas/ prototype implementations that bear significant scientific and technological value.

Proper guidance, channelized efforts and a centralized tool in formulation of a well architectured roadmap, at this point, is now required to mitigate the gap between ‘paper’ and ‘product’.

About RUSA

Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) - Overview

Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS), launched in 2013, aimed at providing strategic funding to eligible state higher educational institutions. The central funding (in the ratio of 60:40 for general category States, 90:10 for special category states and 100% for union territories) would be norm-based and outcome-dependent. The funding would flow from the central ministry through the state governments/union territories to the State Higher Education Councils before reaching the identified institutions. The funding to states would be made on the basis of critical appraisal of State Higher Education Plans, which would describe each state’s strategy to address issues of equity, access and excellence in higher education.

Objectives
  • Improve the overall quality of state institutions by ensuring conformity to prescribed norms and standards and adopt accreditation as a mandatory quality assurance framework.
  • Usher transformative reforms in the state higher education system by creating a facilitating institutional structure for planning and monitoring at the state level, promoting autonomy in State Universities and improving governance in institutions.
  • Ensure reforms in the affiliation, academic and examination systems.
  • Ensure adequate availability of quality faculty in all higher educational institutions and ensure capacity building at all levels of employment.
  • Create an enabling atmosphere in the higher educational institutions to devote themselves to research and innovations.
  • Expand the institutional base by creating additional capacity in existing institutions and establishing new institutions, in order to achieve enrolment targets.
  • Correct regional imbalances in access to higher education by setting up institutions in unserved & underserved areas.
  • Improve equity in higher education by providing adequate opportunities of higher education to SC/STs and socially and educationally backward classes; promote inclusion of women, minorities, and differently abled persons.

RUSA-CAST Director

On behalf of Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) – Centre for Advanced Sensor Technology at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad, it gives me immense pleasure to welcome you. Looking at the potential and long pedigree of research and development in the area of Sensor Technology at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad, the State Directorate of RUSA has sanctioned to establish a dedicated R & D facility in the University domain with thrust on sensor technology that will cater the vital necessity to identify a potential idea, right at the beginning phase and expedite the process of getting it patentable and/or commercially feasible in due course through proper grooming as per the demand of industry and commercial market.

The Centre aims to be a common platform for the students and faculties of the Universities / Colleges across the state of Maharashtra and their underneath institutions, individuals and established entrepreneurs to hone the necessary skills of research in Sensor Science and Technology, study of economic demands and accordingly shape the ideas to a marketable product. Proper guidance, channelized efforts and a centralized tool in formulation of a well architectured roadmap, at this point, is now required to mitigate the gap between ‘paper’ and ‘product’. Efforts in this direction is not only required by this University but by all academia across the state. The RUSA Center has the core aim to work dedicatedly at this junction.

Through its frame of constitution, on one hand, the Center shall establish state-of- the art inter disciplinary and market - faceted research facilities to allow students and faculties work on their ideas in a congenial environment and on the other hand, through university IPR cell will put the efforts in required track towards - successful property right generation, technology transfer, mass production of prototypes through development partners and incubate entrepreneurship abilities.

Impartation of regular training and provision of state-of-the-art R & D facilities towards methodical development of entrepreneurship skill, at various strategic levels and strengths will ever remain as one mainstay of the Centre activities. Dedicated panels will be set up to - identify potential ideas, time to time monitoring and guidance to shape the ideas to be commercially viable ideas / products. I again welcome researchers all around Maharashtra to utilize facilities available at the RUSA Center so that the center will work as a milestone in research.

With Best Wishes,

Prof. Mahendra D.Shirsat
