Mission & Philosophy
SOCIETY FOR HEALTH ALLIED RESEARCH AND EDUCATION INDIA
SHARE INDIA
Our Mission
To promote research culture in medical colleges in India so that average minds can be inventive – empowering emerging researchers to ask critical questions, challenge existing paradigms, and contribute meaningful solutions to health challenges.
To perform and promote Biomedical and Health-related research – conducting rigorous, evidence-based investigations that directly address India's most pressing public health priorities.
Our Philosophy
At the heart of SHARE INDIA lies a profound and guiding philosophy, articulated by our founder:
"Nature has created a divided world of those who have the capacity to give and those who have the need to receive. We are the lucky few who are blessed with the capacity to give rather than receive. Let us thank God for giving us the capacity and opportunity to give by giving."
Dr. P.S. Reddy, Founder and Chairman

Core Value in Action
Research as a Public Good
Every study is designed with scalability, real-world implementation, and policy impact in mind, ensuring benefits extend far beyond a single project or site.
Equity in Capacity Building
Research culture is not hoarded; it is actively cultivated across medical colleges through training, mentoring, and collaborative programs that empower faculty and students to become independent researchers.
Evidence-Based Solutions
Work consistently challenges "old concepts" to find contextually relevant, evidence-based truths in medicine, prioritizing rigorous data over assumptions or imported models.
Community Partnership
Research is conducted with communities, not on them, by engaging local stakeholders, building trust, and designing studies that respect lived realities and local wisdom.
Affordability & Accessibility
New medical devices, technologies, and healthcare models are developed to be cost-effective and accessible, with a deliberate focus on underserved and rural populations.
Integrity and Independence
Projects are pursued with scientific integrity and financial transparency, often supported by competitive grants and voluntary contributions, ensuring that research priorities are guided by public health need rather than commercial interest.
