Research @ Davim

The research action wing of the DAVIM bases its functioning on the following principles :

DAVIM views itself as a professional educational institution as distinct from a graduate school. Therefore, an interventionist approach that would help influence practice is a major objective.

Faculty is encouraged to strengthen research efforts through a joint 'community' effort that also involves students. The resulting teamwork makes for shared learning and helps foster interdisciplinary co-operation.

Research, in its cumulative impact, aims at testing and modifying wherever necessary, existing theories (which have much too often grown out of the western context) and in the process, promotes the development of theoretical perspectives which might be more relevant to the Indian context.

All research activities of the Institute are divided into four categories:

• Independent Research
  
  
• Internship research efforts
  
  
• Research within MDPs
  
  
• Theme-based field research
