Dean’s Message

Grand challenges that the society faces today can only be met through knowledge driven innovation. Whether it is the impact of climate change, resource depletion or life-long health and well- being, these can only be confronted by the advancement of knowledge and its application.

Institute of Advanced Research, The University for Innovation, is committed to developing and delivering internationally bench-marked higher education programs that are underpinned by relevant research. Our education philosophy is education through research and all our students engage in research as part of their programs.

Education disconnected from the real world context does not necessarily lead to graduates who will be the driving force for growth of the economy and, social and environmental well-being that we seek. Therefore, students at Institute of Advanced Research actively interact with society, business and industry through extra-curricular and co-curricular programs. Our students and faculty benefit from a structured interaction with business and industry leaders through expert lectures, collaborative research and development, business competitions, industry visits and voluntary work in society.

Increasingly complex problems demand ever innovative solutions, which can only be realized through multi-disciplinary education, research and application, which are all intertwined. Acquisition of knowledge is one but important aspect of university education. Our focus is also on developing our students as confident and enterprising individuals as we believe that confident and enterprising graduates will be the future leaders and change makers in our society.

We are a young, but rapidly growing university, allowing us to set the agenda for innovative university education, research and enterprise, to contribute to the social and economic advancement of our state and our nation.

I warmly welcome you to join us in this journey.

Dr. Narendra Kumar
