“The Sree PVF grants in the agriculture sector are aimed at supporting last-mile accomplishment for innovative technological solutions to problems of the farming community, in particular the small farmers. The two calls that have been concluded so far have attracted a lot of interest from researchers and several innovative projects have been selected for funding.”

“As the Indian S&T community is growing and their research outcome is diversifying, it is important that we diversify source and method of funding. Particularly, to ensure that the benefits of the research outcome help to alleviate the suffering of common people. In this context, the philanthropic contribution of SreePVF to Indian S&T is immensely valuable. The SreePVF awards large grants allowing the researchers to use them at their discretion as needed for their research. Fund flow is also carefully monitored so that at no time researchers face a cashless situation. This initiative from the pious couple Drs Sudha and Nageswararao is unique and hopes to trigger more such philanthropic contributions to Indian science”

India made friends with science since the day it became free (when it was financially a ‘basket case’), and today we are among the top five economic powers in the globe. This became possible due to our friendship with science and technology. Seventy years later, it is time for not just the governments, but private individuals and Foundations in India too, to make friends with science and start offering research grants. It is against this backdrop that the SreePV Foundation of Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, has initiated a small initiative in supporting research in biological sciences.
