Schools, Colleges, Departments, Universities, Professional Institutes, Corporate Entities, and other Government or Non-government organizations keen on collaborating with ERDA for societal transformation are encouraged to apply for Institutional Membership. Representatives can initiate the membership application process through the designated link on the website. The authoritative body of ERDA exercises discretion in evaluating and approving such memberships. Upon approval, institutions or organizations are entitled to use the designation “Institutional Members of ERDA” alongside their name. Educational institutions have the unique opportunity to collaborate with ERDA in coordinating Workshops, Faculty Development Programs (FDPs), Seminars, Conferences, Training Programs, and other similar activities. Corporate members actively participate in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities in partnership with ERDA and can act as stakeholders in ERDA’s social enterprises. Government or Non-government organizations can collaborate for the successful execution of social development activities. Applicants seeking Institutional Membership must adhere to the requirement of obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) duly endorsed by the head of their respective institution or organization, along with the seal. This is a mandatory step in the application process. To obtain institutional membership, concerned institutes must submit a one time subscription amount of INR 3,000 (for Indian members) or an equivalent amount (for foreign members). It’s important to note that for any collaborative event, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between ERDA and the Institutional Member must be signed. Specific benefits for Institutional Members include the soft copy of the membership certificate, the display of their name along with a brief description on ERDA’s website, and the opportunity to nominate a person from their institute/organization to participate in the management of ERDA by holding various positions.
