Higher education and research constitute the backbone of University systems as they focus on the promotion of the human mind, the search for truth, the development of knowledge specialists, the evolution of culture, and the betterment of life in all its myriad manifestations.

Assam Don Bosco University has set for itself a clear mission of playing a leading role in research and scholarship. Following the time-hallowed traditions of the great universities of the world, ADBU seeks to make itself a centre for culture, knowledge, research, Intellectual ferment, critical thinking and analysis of whatever shapes and impacts human life, a centre that influences thinking, planning and policy making on vital aspects of social life such as religion, culture, society, politics, governance, education, health care, etc.

Research Policy and Research Support

The main objective of ADBU’s research policy is to increase knowledge mand advance the educational program. Teaching and research are interdependent and both are adversely affected when considered as separate entities. These functions have, therefore, been integrated and mentnoid in the complete academic and administrative structure.m The University also owns responsibility to render social service, and in achieving this distinct responsibility undertakes research when it can do mso without any detrimental effects to its academic functions. This is especially when the University’s available personnel and facilities and its mcapability qualify it to perform a necessary service. 

ADBU receives funds from government, industry and foundations. The University understands from experience with such fund handling as to the conditions under which it can be justified and the manner in which it can most effectively be integrated with other activities of the University.

Further, funds also come in to provide support for the construction and renovation of facilities, scholarships and fellowships, curriculum improvement, teacher training, and other programs designed to strengthen graduate and undergraduate education. The appropriateness of these programs in relation to University activities and objectives have mostly been assessed using the same review procedures which are used in the review of research proposals. In the case of support provided under agreements whivh involve University obligations and contractual commitments to the sponsor, the allocation of administrative responsibility is the same as for sponsored research. This policy document therefore is also applicable to sponsored programs other than research.
