Annexure – 1

OBJECTIVES OF THE VGST PROGRAMMES

1. Establishment of Centres of Excellence in Science, Engineering and Medicine

(CESEM):-

To encourage research activities in field of science, engineering and

medicine and to promote innovation in research.

To promote research in newly emerging and frontier areas of Science,

Engineering and Medicine including multidisciplinary fields.

To attract fresh talents in Universities and other higher educational

Institutions towards research activities.

To identify institutions which are involving in thematically based research

activities in Science, Engineering & Medical field.

To strengthen existing institutions having a cluster of scientists who could

make common use of research facility created by VGST grant.

To selectively promote the general research capability with relevance to

science, engineering and medicine taking into account capability of the host

institution.

To provide special encouragement to active scientists, researchers from

relatively small and less endowed University Departments and Institutions.

2. Establishment of Centres of Innovative Science & Engineering Education

(CISEE):-

The programme is to strengthen infrastructural facilities particularly in selected

science and Engineering colleges and university science departments in the state

towards achieving

promotion of quality teaching

skill development

teaching methodology

content generation

development of teaching aids

promotion of research on local problems

3. Karnataka Fund for Improvement of Science and Technology Infrastructure

(K-FIST) in Higher Educational Institutions:-

The K-FIST programme aims at developing and strengthening Science and

Technology Infrastructure and Laboratory Facilities required by Science

Departments for imparting quality Science teaching and for pursuing research

activities in educational institutions offering postgraduate science courses within

the State. Post graduate Science laboratories in University Departments and

Colleges are to be equipped with Science and Technology infrastructural facilities.

These facilities are required for imparting quality teaching and for pursuing

research activities in higher educational institutions. Educational institution

selected under the K-FIST programme will be provided with grants to improve and

strengthen infrastructure that would help the institution in achieving higher

academic standards. The K-FIST programme is for the improvement and

strengthening infrastructure facilities in the identified beneficiary Department as

a whole and not for the development of individual Faculty/Researcher.

4. Award of Seed Money to Young Scientists for Research (SMYSR):-

The broad purpose of the scheme is to promote research activity among young

scientists, researchers (below 40 years in age) in the state to take up challenging R

& D activities. Providing grants to faculty members with innovative ideas to carry

out research and build scientific careers in their field of interest at an young age.

5. Awards for Research Publications (Published) by Science Faculty (ARP):-

The Vision Group on Science and Technology seeks to encourage and reward

Science, Engineering and Medicine faculty members in colleges, universities and

research organizations / institutes in the state who have published quality

research publications in National & International journals. In order to recognize

has instituted this award. The intent of the award is to encourage the researchers

to perform quality research work and to publish in Journals with higher impact

factor.

6. Awards for Science Communicators & Science Teachers (ASC & ST):-

Vision Group on Science and Technology has instituted the following awards to

recognize & reward Science Communicators & Science Teachers for their

outstanding efforts aimed at science communication & science teaching

respectively.

Awards for Science Teachers (AST):-

Science teaching at High school, Pre-university and Undergraduate levels is of

crucial to inspire and motivate students in the excitement and learning of science.

Therefore, quality and concept oriented science teaching at these levels is of vital

importance. VGST intends to recognize outstanding science teachers who have

made an impact at high school, pre-university and undergraduate levels and to

reward them. This encouragement would inspire science teachers in improving

performance to foster science teaching and further contributing towards quality

science education to motivate students in Science stream.

Awards for Science Communicators (ASC):-

Dissemination of scientific knowledge to the general public is of paramount

importance towards making a scientifically aware society. VGST intends to

recognize and reward individuals for their exemplary contribution in popularizing

science, promotion of learning and dissemination of science in the areas of History
