Policy Making Institutional Academia interactions along with policy implementing industry academia training and consulting showcases a higher education institute’s entry into the maturity phase of its learning curve.

SRCC as a premier Institution has significant collaborations with Indian Corporate Law Services (ICLS Academy), Ministry of Corporate Affairs; Reserve Bank of India (RBI Academy); and Competition Commission of India (CCI), Government of India to share expertise towards greater industry-institutions-academia interface.
Reserve Bank of India
SRCC has achieved the twin distinction of not only conducting two consecutive training programs for the middle level and senior officers of India's premier financial institution, The Reserve Bank of India, but also scoring extremely high on assessment from the participants (with a score of 4.5 and above out of maximum 5) with respect to the content and delivery of training sessions in the domain of " Fundamentals of Microeconomics". The college faculty while conducting these training sessions have not only imparted clarity to the participants in understanding the fundamentals of microeconomics but have also showcased with the help of real-life case studies how these concepts of microeconomics are applied and implemented both at the firm level and industry level. This helps the policy makers to grasp how their macro polices impact micro level stakeholders.
