## Notes

Performance Linked Enhacement of Academic Studies and Endeavour. Under this scheme, faculty can apply for funding for a research project/ lab. The proposal should include components for equipment , building if needed, internship, possible MoU with a University. It will be given only to faculty with 2 articles in peer reviewed journals in last 3 years or those who have already brought research funding of at least 10% of the project cost . I have tentatively earmarked Rs 5 crores for each faculty/ Dept.
