Society on Advancement of Agricultural Research and Education for Social Upliftment (SAARESU)
SAARESU members receive significant discounts on article processing charges, subscription fees, and publication costs across all SAARESU publication series. This ensures that financial barriers do not hinder the dissemination of quality research. Members can publish and access scientific content at preferential rates — promoting a culture of open, affordable knowledge sharing within the agricultural research community.
Members are entitled to substantially reduced registration fees for all SAARESU-organised conferences, seminars, workshops, and training programmes. Whether attending national conferences or specialized workshops, members save significantly on registration costs — enabling greater participation in scientific events and ensuring that SAARESU's events remain accessible to all members of the research community.
Membership grants access to an active, growing community of over 50 founder members and an expanding network of scientists, researchers, academicians, extension specialists, farmers, and agricultural entrepreneurs from across India and abroad. SAARESU provides multiple platforms for meaningful collaboration — from exclusive member directories to dedicated networking sessions at events — helping members build lasting professional relationships that advance their careers and research.
SAARESU members become eligible for nomination and consideration for the full range of SAARESU awards — a prestigious set of recognitions that celebrate excellence across research, education, extension, and social service. Being a member unlocks the door to receiving formal recognition for outstanding work at a national level, adding significant value to academic and professional profiles.
Full SAARESU members are granted voting rights, giving them a direct voice in the democratic governance and future direction of the society. Members can participate in elections for the Executive Board and governing positions, vote on resolutions and policy matters at General Body meetings, and play an active role in shaping SAARESU's agenda, programmes, and priorities. This ensures that every member has a meaningful stake in the society's growth and institutional decisions.
