The Directorate of Research since its independence in March 2007 is leaving no stone unturned to promote a culture of research at UVAS. The growth of on going research projects funded by various funding agencies to 17 with a magnitude of 46.13 million is a witness to it. The Directorate of Research comprises of Director Research, Assistant Director Research and other ministerial staff which are always helpful for the faculty to pursue quality research .In addition, the directorate also keeps up linkages with other research organizations at national and international level to enhance the academics and research in the University. In the  end I would like to encourage young faculty to develop viable research projects, in this regard a document containing various funding resources  developed by the Directorate can be of special help.
