Success Stories
Transforming Lives Through Research
Humility, honesty, discipline and productivity being the core values which SRA so much upholds was one of the motivations that kept me going even when it seemed so tough. Indeed it has been an awesome, mind-blowing, fascinating, impacting and a very rewarding experience
What more can I say? SRA is a place to be, where your growth is their priority. They also aim at building a sustainable scientific community and a body of scientific researchers that cannot only think out of the box to do the new but take the necessary actions to change the world with just an idea. Without actions, the world would still be an idea.
At SRA hidden skills of critical and analytical thinking were triggered within me. As the course progressed I could do a better appraisal of the various components and steps of the different research topics presented on ideation days.
