Prior to the meeting, Doval and his team assessed the academic and research setup at the university, and also participated in detailed briefing of information technology laboratories on Geo-Intelligence Systems, OSINT, AI etc., the release said.
“The university should adopt an empirical research model, and develop a solution-oriented approach to approach and understand the most pressing security challenges of nations,” Doval said during his visit.
RRU, which has been given an Institute of National Importance by an Act of Parliament, opened its first campus at Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh on Friday.
