Research and publications play an important role at all institutions of higher learning for the generation of knowledge, discovery of novel ideas, and betterment of mankind. Without intensive involvement in research and publications, the knowledge-bearing tree of a faculty will shrivel and wither in the heat of ignorance and obsolescence.
