Central Research Lab

KVGMC&H Central Research Laboratory (CRL) a state-of-the-art facility is more than just a place where research happens; it’s a centralized hub designed to facilitate a diverse range of exploratory studies across multiple disciplines.

Strategically situated on the fourth level of the college building, the CRL was thoughtfully designed with the researcher in mind. It’s more than just a laboratory filled with cutting-edge equipment; it’s a dedicated space intended to foster creativity, curiosity, and collaboration. The environment within CRL is purposefully constructed to be calming, secure, and conducive to productivity, embodying the optimum conditions required for conducting high-quality research.

The core objective of CRL is to streamline the research process by serving as a one-stop point of contact for researchers. It acts as an administrative and operational hub, coordinating various aspects of research, including planning, execution, data analysis, and more. By handling these logistical elements, CRL enables researchers to devote their full attention to the substantive elements of their research studies, thereby accelerating the pace of knowledge creation.

One of the distinctive features of CRL is its emphasis on collaboration. It fosters an inclusive environment where researchers from different disciplines and levels of experience – be it undergraduates, postgraduates, doctors, or even seasoned researchers – can collaborate on research topics of mutual interest. This cross-pollination of ideas can lead to more comprehensive and nuanced insights, contributing to the quality and impact of the research produced.

CRL also plays a crucial role in facilitating research projects funded by various agencies, including STS, ICMR, RGUHS, and external research agencies. By providing the necessary infrastructure and support, CRL helps these projects come to fruition, contributing to the growth of knowledge in their respective fields.
