Patiala, September 6

The Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL) has come up with a faculty research incentive scheme for publications of its faculty in Scopus indexed journals. The announcement was made by University Vice-Chancellor (VC) Dr GS Bajpai during the celebration of Teacher’s Day on September 6.

The university said an incentive of Rs 21,000 will be given to faculty members who publish their works in such journals.

The university VC said the scheme would promote academics and research on the campus. “To incentivise faculty publication in the journals we have declared an award of Rs 21,000. The RGNUL will edit/publish the UGC CARE listed CCV journal”, he said.

He said, “A teacher has to evolve, explore potential, generate alternative ideas and create turbulence in the minds of students to dispel darkness and ignorance.” He added, “Every challenge and malady pervading the educational system can be efficiently encountered by teachers.”

Registrar Professor Naresh Kumar Vats said the faculty should deploy innovative pedagogy while teaching students.
