OBJECTIVES OF THE VGST PROGRAMMES
1. Establishment of Centres of Excellence in Science, Engineering and Medicine (CESEM):      To encourage research activities in field of science, engineering and medicine and to promote innovation in research. To promote research in newly emerging and frontier areas of Science, Engineering and Medicine including multidisciplinary fields. To attract fresh talents in Universities and other higher educational Institutions towards research activities. To identify institutions which are involving in thematically based research activities in Science, Engineering & Medical field. To strengthen existing institutions having a cluster of scientists who could make common use of research facility created by VGST grant. To selectively promote the general research capability with relevance to science, engineering and medicine taking into account capability of the host institution. To provide special encouragement to active scientists, researchers from relatively small and less endowed University Departments and Institutions.



2. Establishment of Centres of Innovative Science & Engineering Education (CISEE):The programme is to strengthen infrastructural facilities particularly in selected science and Engineering colleges and university science departments in the state towards achieving  promotion of quality teaching  skill development  teaching methodology  content generation  development of teaching aids  promotion of research on local problems 3. Karnataka Fund for Improvement of Science and Technology Infrastructure (K-FIST) in Higher Educational Institutions:The K-FIST programme aims at developing and strengthening Science and Technology Infrastructure and Laboratory Facilities required by Science Departments for imparting quality Science teaching and for pursuing research activities in educational institutions offering postgraduate science courses within

the State. Post graduate Science laboratories in University Departments and Colleges are to be equipped with Science and Technology infrastructural facilities. These facilities are required for imparting quality teaching and for pursuing research activities in higher educational institutions. Educational institution selected under the K-FIST programme will be provided with grants to improve and strengthen infrastructure that would help the institution in achieving higher academic standards. The K-FIST programme is for the improvement and strengthening infrastructure facilities in the identified beneficiary Department as a whole and not for the development of individual Faculty/Researcher. 4. Award of Seed Money to Young Scientists for Research (SMYSR):The broad purpose of the scheme is to promote research activity among young scientists, researchers (below 40 years in age) in the state to take up challenging R & D activities.
