The trial runs would be conducted first on the universities that have entered into an MoU with the Research For Resurgence Foundation (RRF), a venture of the BSM, and launched on a non-governmental ranking portal.

The BSM had launched a research initiative in 2016 to create a platform for socially relevant research ideas rooted in the “Bharatiya Integrated Perspective”, which would help in stabilizing their mission of a “Bharatiya Education System”.
