The prestigious funding agencies include the UNESCO, Newton Fund (UK), British High Commission (Singapore), Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (ACRE), Sumitomo Foundation (Japan), and many more.

We are also noted for obtaining governmental funds like the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS), Exploratory Research Grant Scheme (ERGS), and Research University Grant (GUP), the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, Ministry of Science and Technology, and others.
