Beliefs
Mir-IFCR India believes that on enrollment, all its scholars are committed to quality and hence are stars; Stars born to illumine an otherwise dark world. Belief in Oneself, Commitment to Quality and Dedication to Research are the three cornerstones of an Mir-IFCR Scholar Star. 

Interdisciplinary Oneness
Scholars of Mir-IFCR India come from different states of the country, from various disciplinary backgrounds but with the same basic orientation to life science.
