Research
ICT has very strong research culture. The first ever Ph.D. degree in Engineering and Technology stream in India was awarded by the ICT in 1941. ICT has strong relationship with the industry and many government as well as industry sponsored projects take shape in ICT. In 2011 the Central Ministry of Textiles sanctioned ICT's National Centre of Excellence in Sportech a grant of Rs24.5 crore for researching sports-related apparel and goods. With this, ICT has become the first institute in the country to conduct research on sports fabrics.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” [Was will das Weib?]”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
