Best practices:
The Unit has an approved panel of Copy Editors, Translators, Designers, Offset and Digital Printers that facilitate the Institute to get the publishing services. Publication Guidelines exist and the process is well defined with flow-charting of activities for different kind of publications which makes everything transparent. The approved schedule of rates for Designing, Typesetting, Translation, Digital and Offset Printing, facilitates to execute our publishing jobs at shorter intervals, instead of inviting tenders every time. The in-house arrangement for simple designing, layout setting and page formatting for regular publishing jobs like English Journal, Occasional Papers, CPRHE Research Papers, Programme Announcement etc., adds strength to our process. It works as a team and the publications comes out with good and reasonable quality.
