b) To ensure the timely, effective and progressive performance of academic tasks;
c) To expand our corporate partnerships and networks for creating mutual opportunities and benefits.
iii) To expand or promote existing resources:
a) To maintain the purpose & utility of Hospital & Medical Record Room and at offer practical situation;
b) To make blending the teaching, training & Research of the various faculties;
Overcome the Challenges:
A major challenge with respect to research is securing the essential inputs both funding and research talent:
a) To lay down guidelines for the allocation of research grants;
b) URC plans to build a database containing details of various sources of research funds and grants. The objective is to encourage and help USTC faculty members to materialize/implement their research plans with financial and institutional support. This also creates facilities for the student to be involved in research activities;
c) Information regarding different funding agencies such as MST, UGC, BMRC, DGHs, UN agencies, USAID, AUSAID, JAICA, TWAS, DAAD, NGOs, HUMBOLDT foundation and other organizations to facilitate the teachers and the students in their research endeavors;
d) Monitoring the research activities carried out through the grants from the URC;
e) To plan and arrange for offering awards to persons for outstanding contribution to URC in achieving goals and objectives in favors of national interest in the fields of Education, Research and Training.
Activities:
A major challenge with respect to research is securing the essential inputs both funding and research talent:
a) To conduct effective, relevant and ‘State of Art’ teaching for the faculties to enhance the basic skill of research;
b) Keeping provision to send the faculties home/abroad for further training in serious aspects of Research Methodology.
c) Forming Research group in each faculty to share and update the advancement of recent research activities among the faculties and students too.
d) To organize research related hands on training and skill transfer with other organization of both home and abroad.
Annual Conference:
To organize an annual conference where academics, researchers, and practitioners present their research work from both Government & Non-Government organization with an aim to flourish the USTC & CRC keeping a theme.
Journal/ Newsletter:
a) In addition to USTC each faculty may publish at least one or two journals yearly;
b) Journal club should be forwarded to accelerate the publication of Journal or Newsletter;

d) USTC and other journal publication. To publish peer-reviewed journals, bulletins, research reports, training modules, and other research, teaching/extension materials of both fundamental and applied nature and to create necessary facilities for the purposes.
Seminar:
Learning greatly enhanced by bringing theoretical knowledge and application together. In order to improve understanding of practical issues of our students and faculties, interactive seminars will be organized.
The arrangement of training / workshop on different areas of research methodology including ongoing curriculum implementation and its constraints, evaluation and other fields (Education pedagogy of Medicine and other faculties).
Case Development:
Faculty members are encouraged to work with companies/organizations to develop cases that can be used in the classroom. This contributes to a more effective learning process at USTC.
