National Platform for Young Researchers
India's Young Researcher Conference (IYRC-2025)
19th–20th November 2025
India's Young Researcher Conference-2025 is a national platform designed to strengthen research acumen, critical inquiry, and innovation among school students. Conducted over two enriching days on 19th-20th November 2025, the conference was structured around three key themes — Mental Wellness, Sustainability, and Innovation — encouraging young participants to reflect on emotional resilience, ecological responsibility, and purposeful nation-building through future-ready ideas. Organized in association with Larsen & Toubro, powered by DST, and under the aegis of "Mentor India Academy" by NITI Aayog, IYRC-2025 brought together 250+ school students from across India, who presented research papers addressing real-world challenges with thoughtful analysis and academic maturity. Supported by expert interactions, keynote sessions, structured jury evaluations, and a well-designed conference framework, the event fostered an environment of curiosity, collaboration, and meaningful research engagement. This edition was graced by distinguished guests Dr. Jamuna Rajeswaran, Head of Clinical Neuropsychology & Cognitive Neuroscience Centre, NIMHANS, Bangalore, and Ms. Manishka Dubey, 12-year-old innovator, author, and founder of Tinker Techie, who inspired students with their expertise, achievements, and vision.
