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 Infrastructure strengthening in Science & Technology
(K-FIST) :-

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
and reward outstanding research publications with high impact factor the VGST
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 (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
of Science, Life and achievements of Scientists and Engineers, discoveries and
inventions etc. The intention of the award is to recognize science communicators
for their exemplary work and contribution in the transmission of excitement in
science and technological advancement and to instil scientific temper among
students and general public at large.

7. Awards for Science Teachers Innovation in Teaching & Learning
(AST-ITL):-

Science teaching at Pre-university, Undergraduate & Post Graduate levels is of
crucial to inspire and motivate students in the excitement and learning of science.
Therefore, quality and concept oriented science teaching with innovation in
teaching methodology at these levels is of vital importance. VGST intends to
recognize outstanding science teachers who have made an impact at Pre-university,
UG & PG 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.
