Patna: Patna Women’s College successfully concluded its Student Research Project (SRP) Presentation 2026 on Friday, marking the end of a week-long academic programme aimed at strengthening research culture and inquiry-based learning among students.
Held from January 5 to 9, the event brought together students from 28 departments spanning science, technology, social sciences, humanities, commerce, management, education and computer applications. Over nine structured sessions, conducted in morning and afternoon slots, students presented research work addressing a wide range of contemporary social, scientific and technological challenges.
The programme was organised under the supervision of Dr Bhawna Sinha, research coordinator at the college, with support from faculty supervisors, departmental coordinators and evaluation panels.
The themes explored during the presentations reflected both disciplinary depth and social relevance. Topics ranged from microplastic biodegradation, eco-friendly nanomaterials and renewable energy solutions to mental health in the digital age, artificial intelligence and deepfake detection, post-quantum cryptography, women’s livelihoods and financial literacy, urban flooding, sustainable business practices, and the impact of media on democratic processes.
Academic exchange formed the core of the programme, with subject experts and faculty evaluators offering critical feedback and guidance. The interactive format of the sessions enabled students to refine their research communication, documentation and analytical skills, while encouraging scholarly dialogue across disciplines.
One of the key outcomes of SRP 2026 was the announcement that selected research papers will be published in the college’s peer-reviewed journals—Explore, Quest and Iris. The initiative is intended to familiarise students with academic publishing and research dissemination at an early stage of their academic careers.
College authorities said the event reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to academic excellence and to preparing students for meaningful engagement with research and society.
