We kindly ask that applicants refrain from submitting multiple applications simultaneously.

ERDA has refrained from accepting any subscription from its members since its inception until now. However, recognizing financial limitations that impede the ability of ERDA to effectively serve the community, management has made the decision to implement a modest membership subscription fee (effective from April 1, 2024). We wish to inform our visitors and members that from the establishment in 2015 until March 31, 2024, ERDA has relied solely on funds provided by our founder, Dr. R. K. Mishra, and a select group of founder trustees. Regrettably, due to these financial constraints, ERDA has been unable to fully realize its vision and mission. Consequently, the management has opted to introduce a nominal subscription fee for ERDA membership to facilitate the association’s operational continuity and further the pursuit of its commendable objectives. The funds collected through membership subscription will be allocated for the following purposes: covering official expenses related to the functioning of ERDA, organizing workshops, seminars, conferences, and other similar events, hosting ERDA Talent Search Exam (ETSE), award functions, youth parliament, and other similar events to promote education, research, and social development, supporting the publication of textbooks, edited books, journals, and other educational materials., providing financial assistance to needy students, and contributing to community service initiative.
