‘Applied Research’ to solve or resolve immediate problems and issues related to each district of our country, is the need of the hour. Every district in all our states and union territories has tremendous potential with respect to natural and cultural resources; also they have their own worries, disorders and situations which are unsustainable.

In continuation of the vision of our Founder Directors, we would sincerely encourage and promote the urgent need for creating social awareness through ‘Applied Research’ on United Nations sustainable development goals, and also showcase the natural resources and cultural heritage of 806 districts of India.

It is fascinating to see the creation of existing information of the states and union territories under one Cloud Portal; www.rishisfoundation.com and the creation of an Archive of future ‘Applied Research and Descriptive Papers’ pouring from all over the country, thus creating a unique link among the diverse people and cultures.

The Foundation (R.A.R.F.) has for the first time introduced Online ‘Applied Research’, Group Research along with choice of Guide/Guides selection and Interdisciplinary/Collaborative efforts through R.I.S.H.I.S. This opportunity has been created essentially to allow large participation of people who have been deprived of admissions to University programmes in the country, due to rigorous academic procedures.

The USP of R.I.S.H.I.S. is no doubt, the incentives given to research participants by way of cash awards, scholarships and other financial packages. As Promoters we are initially announcing , a Cash Award of Rs.25, 000/- for highly innovative ‘Applied Research & Descriptive Papers from each State & UT; along with the Title and Prefix of ‘RISHI’, for the first time in India.

The wealth of information pouring in online from all the districts in India will become a perennial source of information on sustainable issues, as well as our natural and cultural heritage; thus collating into an ongoing encyclopedia which in future could be known as ‘RISHIPAEDIA’.

An Online Dynamic Cloud Portal www.rishisfoundation.com has been designed and developed meticulously over 9 months, since its incorporation in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India on 7 August 2023. Presently, the Online ‘Research Institute for Sustainable Habitat and Indic Studies’ under the auspices of  RISHIS APPLIED RESEARCH FOUNDATION, Bangalore, India will operate from the Founder Directors – Regd. Office, Begur Rd., Bangalore 560068 and also the Promoter Directors- Corporate Office at Dr, Rajkumar Rd., Rajajinagar, Bangalore 560010.
