On 13 August 2024, fifteen participants from the Department of Clinical Research visited the Skill Simulation Centre under the guidance of Dr. Rajesh Sharma. The primary objective of this visit was to explore the centre’s advanced resources and facilities, and to understand their role in supporting academic learning and research activities.
During the visit, participants were introduced to the centre’s ongoing social research initiatives and its commitment to addressing societal challenges through innovative academic inquiry. Dr. Rajesh Sharma provided detailed insights into the simulation processes and demonstrated hands-on training techniques, allowing attendees to engage directly with the sophisticated tools and realistic scenarios available at the centre.
The visit significantly raised awareness about the various academic and research-supporting resources, not only at the Skill Simulation Centre but also linked facilities like the library and the Himalayan Centre for Design Research and Learning (HCDRL). Attendees gained valuable knowledge of digital library resources, design research, and social research projects, which collectively inspired a greater appreciation for interdisciplinary academic collaboration.
Many participants expressed motivation to utilize these resources more effectively in their own work, with some showing interest in deeper involvement with ongoing research projects. The visit also fostered networking opportunities among students, faculty, and researchers, laying a foundation for future collaborations. Additionally, the experience highlighted potential areas for policy improvements to enhance academic and research infrastructure.
Overall, the visit provided practical exposure that bridged theoretical concepts with real-world applications, equipping students with confidence and skills essential for their professional development.
