--------------------------
This is indeed a moment for all of us to feel proud of the research activities going on at AMU. Such meetings should be held on a more regular basis that will provide a platform for interaction amongst the Scientists and the Research Scholars. This will definitely help in the development of scientific acumen among the researchers and students, which will help them immensely in their career development which in large will be beneficial to the student, Institution and the community at large.
