The RMP committee will assign highly recognized researchers as mentors of research papers & ideas, and will arrange individual sessions with the mentor to improve author’s manuscript. Further, the committee has introduced an interactive workshop series to enhance the quality of manuscript. Accordingly, 08 workshops will be conducted in two months.
