Introduction
Gandhi Group of Institutions (GGI) started its research & development programmes since it's inception in 1997 in order to meet today’s challenges of the industries.
Gandhi Institute of Engineering & Technology, Gunupur is looking for strong tie-ups in the areas of research and development and faculty exchange programmes. Apart from carrying out fundamental research leading to higher degrees, the institute is committed to take up industrial problems as part of its R & D activities.
Prof (Dr) V K Sachdev, Professor (Foreign Universities Collaboration Affairs), a man with penchant for creating tie-ups international scenario, has been appointed to explore possibilities in this area. (Profile of Prof (Dr) V K Sachdev)
