Anveshan
All India Student Research Network
From curiosity to contribution.
A student-led network connecting undergraduate, postgraduate, and research scholars across India in all science disciplines — through reading groups, collaborative projects, mentorship, and open research.
Membership is free at launch. Open to all science disciplines.
About
About Anveshan
Anveshan is an all-India, student-led research network. It exists to connect young researchers across institutions and states, to make early research experience accessible, and to build a culture of open, honest, and collaborative scientific work.
The network is open to undergraduate, postgraduate, and research scholars in every science discipline — physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, computing, earth and environmental sciences, engineering sciences, and interdisciplinary work.
Anveshan begins informally. Its structure, membership model, rules, and first core team will be decided collectively by its members at the first online meeting. This page describes the plan as it stands today.
