Students Research Council Nepal (SRCN) is a non-profit youth organization of Nepal that brings young enthusiasts from different fields and backgrounds on a single platform. The organization helps like-minded students connect to each other and work collaboratively in their respective fields of interest--Physics, Computer Science, English, Biology, Economics And Politics--to tackle real world problems through research.

For this application process, all the students from grade 10 to high school graduates (not enrolled in university) are invited to fill out the application form and be a part of our community. Participants and mentors of SRCN will work together to complete the projects and research for 10 weeks.

Being a part of SRCN was an amazing journey. Not only did I learn research skills but I also discovered like-minded peers. Even though this was my first time working in a research paper, I rarely felt lost and confused as we were guided by our supportive mentors. Every week was full of learning as our wonderful team mates shared different ideas, views and opinions. From field visits to interactive zoom sessions, I found it to be a great platform for students who like to think outside the box and explore outside their classroom. I am extremely thankful to have received this opportunity.

Economics Christy Gurung

Research projects, insightful discussions, and lifelong friendships. What more could you ask for? SRCN was a utopia of passionate individuals emphasizing the integration of ideas with opportunities. It was an opportunity to learn the nuances of the research and moreover, provided exposure for my research endeavors. Those late-night meetings, college application workshops, and birthday celebrations were the spices SRCN offered to our lives. SRCN made me realize my weaknesses, provided guidance on honing my skills, and assisted me in forging valuable connections.

Biology Raunak Mishra

SRCN was my very first footstep to my periodic destination. In SRCN, I learned to value things, efforts, and time. Daily, and weekly meetings built my critiquing skills and time management skills. SRCN for me is not only an organization but a family which taught me to work on myself.

Computer Science Kripa Lamichhane

My involvement in SRCN offered me cordial friendships and valuable skills of imperishable value. There was a lot to learn from effective work division to different research methods during my time in SRCN as a Quantum Physics group member. The first cohort of SRCN was an assemblage of thoughtful individuals and potential change-makers who made this journey in SRCN all the more inspirational. Really humbled to incorporate SRCN as a part of my journey!

Quantum Physics Kusum Subedi

From the first interaction session to the final project demonstration, SRCN has been an incredible ride. SRCN's 8-week journey taught me more than I could have imagined. I was given an opportunity to hone my research, communication, and presentation skills. More than that, I made some cool friends and memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I am confident that the things I have learned and bonds I made are the valuable things I will cherish forever.
