He believed firmly in his goal of bringing about a revolution in the educational industry and also made it happen. Along with primary and higher education, he has paid immense attention to research. Research and development are vital for the growth and progress of any organization or industry and the country on the whole, and Dr Giri firmly supports this notion. He also believes that in developing nations, where there is a gap in the higher education sector, but the government, as well as society, realizes and introduces policies to improve a knowledge-based economy, there is an all-around need for increased PhDs both in academia as well as the industry. Dr. Sudhir deeply feels that research is imperative for healthcare development and improvement of drugs and medicines. Along with high levels of innovation, creativity, and ability to solve complex problems, a doctoral degree, based on extensive research, enhances transferable skills like communication skills and the ability for teamwork, both of which are critical to the achievement of drug discovery programs.
