Social Engagement
We actively promote 'social engagement' activities. This approach has stood up well. We execute social engagement projects and lab members are able to form an alliance through this platform and participate in socially meaning activities. Besides various lines of research projects that we are involved in, there are various social initiatives. At present we are engaged in social centric activities under a unique banner. Social+(pronounced as social positive) stands as a constructive approach of social engagement in this effort.
