Life at HFAC Lab

1. Ethical and Standard Compliance (ESC)

   We are committed to maintaining highest ESC in the way we conduct our academic and research activities in alignment with APA < http://www.apa.org/>, ISE < http://www.ise.org.in/>, and COPE < https://publicationethics.org/>.

2. Lab safety

   We have fire alarm system to avoid any fire accident and electronic lock on doors to block entry of any intruder in the lab. Approved experimental protocols are strictly implemented for each investigation.

3. 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.
