Karnataka Haridasa Scientific Research Centre (KHSRC) is the culmination of the efforts of a group of dedicated individuals drawn from various walks of life for more than four decades.

This center was founded under the leadership of Professor Ranganath Bharadwaj, one of the leading economists, econometricians, methodologists, educationists, theatre persons in the country. The Centre has initiated many innovative programmes in such varied fields as Economics, Econometrics, Mathematics, Philosophy, Education, Astronomy, Astrophysics, Social Sciences and Arts and Culture.

The activities of the Centre are anchored to the Structural School of Thought, an alternative methodology developed by Professor Bharadwaj in response to the deepening methodological crisis in sciences, including economics and education. This new approach enables one to view self, science and society in an integrated framework.
 
KHSRC's programmes are aimed at fusing science and spritualism to enrich life. "Vijnana Vaijayanti" is the most important annual event of the centre. These semeners are unique events that have a common focus namely "Human Flowering".

Researches carried out at the Centre have shown that the methodology implied in the works of Haridasas and the Structural Method is congruent. In view of this and after examining this result from all aspects, the sponsors of the Trust named it as "Karnataka Haridasa Scientific Research Centre".
