LNBTI considers research and development to be a serious requirement in the organization. Hence, a separate division has been created as a postgraduate and research under the academic lead of LNBTI. A senior lecturer with doctoral qualifications was recruited recently to LNBTI, and she has been appointed as the secretary of the research committee. However, the research and development activities of LNBTI were started in 2018.
