New Delhi: The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is heading for a
paradigm shift in its research policy and research facilitation
processes, Vice Chancellor V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai said Monday.
"The shift would be in the context of the global scenario of
full-time research, part-time research and systemic research under
the open university and distance education systems," said Pillai.
According to Pillai, the varsity has a research project scheme and
paid research study leave, in addition to the sabbatical leave
scheme, available to teachers and academics.
Participation in national and international research conferences
is facilitated by travel grants.
"IGNOU has a faculty strength of over 1,000 with doctoral and
post-doctoral qualification who are occupying permanent full-time
positions as assistant professors, associate professors and
professors or equivalent academic positions as assistant
directors, deputy directors and directors," said Pillai.
About 800 teachers and academics with Ph.D. and higher-level
research qualifications are working in the university. An
exclusive research unit was created in the university recently to
coordinate research activities, added Pillai.
