We envisage the College to not be limited to just an educational institute, but a centre for excellence in conducting research and training on social issues and problems related to the deprived and marginalized groups in society. Further, we envisage it to be a vibrant Centre of social change and social commitment not only in the North Maharashtra region, but at the global level.

The Centre inculcates a spirit of research amongst faculty and students. It oversees the smooth and efficient coordination of research and development activities in the College, thus fostering overall growth and development. It constantly endeavors for quality enhancement.

The Centre organizes various capacity building workshops on research proposal writing, research methodology, both for students and faculty members to enhance their skills related to research. It forges academic and research collaborations with government and non-government agencies and establishes links with various organizations and funding agencies for sponsored research studies.

The Centre motivates students for presenting papers in university, state and national conferences and competitions and exhibitions like AVISHKAR at university level.

Research infrastructure has been created, that include, a computer laboratory, internet  and  adequate provision is made to procure books and journals e-journals references from our well stocked library.

Objectives of the Centre

• To undertake, promote and coordinate research at the interdisciplinary level in areas related to the marginalized
• To disseminate research findings to policy makers, administrators, field functionaries etc.
• To provide academic and professional guidance and consultancy services to any Government and Non-Govt. organizations, academic institutions, personal or professional researchers
• To promote and enhance capacities of  community based organizations and social activists
• To organize awareness camps, seminar/conferences (Regional, State, National and International), workshops, training programs, even training courses (Certificate/PG/Diploma/Degree) to enhance the quality and capability of both faculties and the students.
• To create a bank of researchers, trainers and academicians to enhance capacities of Government and Non-Govt. personnel
• To conduct various projects (national and foreign, government and non-government) for enhancing the quality of both the research fields and the researchers and for the societal development.
• To publish research papers, periodicals and books for the betterment of the society and to expand the arena of research.
• Provide quality, cost-effective training designed to enhance knowledge, develop skills and enrich individuals and organizations.
