For each department thrust areas of research were identified . Further , Research work group members were assigned for each department to coordinate the research activities of the department viz. Thrust areas. In this context, Dr. P.Ramasamy , Director ,Research centre , SSN College of Engineering , Chennai was invited on 02-03-2016 for the promotion of Research campus . Dr.P.Ramasamy had an interaction meeting with Chairman, HoDs , Research work group and students . He discussed the various outcomes of research and funding agencies for the research projects. Also, he emphasised the seed money grant to the faculty and students from the management funds so that research work will be initiated by the large group of faculty and students. This would bring a research culture and environment to do research in the campus. Also, a student research centre is started (RE) in this period to promote students research in the campus.
