ANRF workshop on analysis organised for Mathematics Students at Doon University
Garhwal Post Bureau
Dehradun, 24 Jan: A two-day workshop on Analysis and Partial Differential Equations is being organised for mathematics students at Doon University as part of the Scientific Social Responsibility component of a research project funded by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation, the apex research funding body of the Government of India.
The workshop is being conducted under the research project titled ‘Fast and Computationally Efficient Iterative Regularisation Methods for Solving Inverse Problems’, which focuses on developing advanced mathematical techniques for complex scientific challenges. Established in 2023 under an Act of Parliament led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Anusandhan National Research Foundation supports IITs, NITs, universities, colleges and research institutions across the country with the objective of promoting research, innovation and entrepreneurship.
On this occasion, Vice Chancellor of Doon University Prof Dr Surekha Dangwal said that the faculty members of the Mathematics Department are highly proactive and continuously work towards creating meaningful academic and training opportunities for students. She observed that the Anusandhan National Research Foundation, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has emerged as a key institution in strengthening the research ecosystem of Indian higher education by ensuring that research funding leads to tangible academic outcomes. The workshop at Doon University is being coordinated by Prof Dr Asha Ram Gairola, with Komal and Sarita Singh acting as the lead organisers.
Professor of Mathematics at IIT Roorkee, Dr Ankik Giri explained that the workshop is being organised specifically for the benefit of Doon University students under the Scientific Social Responsibility budget head of the ANRF-funded research project. Giri also emphasised that ensuring that high-level research initiatives also contribute directly to student learning and mentoring. He said this approach enables students to gain exposure to advanced mathematical concepts while simultaneously strengthening their foundational understanding.
Coordinator of the programme and Professor at Doon University Dr Asha Ram Gairola said that over the last two days students have been trained in the core principles of Analysis and Partial Differential Equations. He added that the participants are gaining valuable academic experience through this focused engagement, which effectively bridges the gap between conventional classroom teaching and advanced research-oriented methodologies, thereby preparing them for higher studies and future research in mathematics and allied disciplines.
