Professor Rao said that UoH will be working towards higher benchmarks to ensure better quality publications from our faculty. “Competing in the world rankings is not just about securing ranks, but raising our standards in teaching and research to meet our country’s needs and providing a higher quality overall to our students,” Prof Rao added.
