The first four GRC meetings were held alongside the annual conference of the [[Indian Science Congress]]. Subsequently, under the guidance of [[Pushpa Mittra Bhargava]], it was registered as a society with a convener elected annually, to organize the annual conference. According to Parthasarathi Benerjee, affiliation to GRC, "acts as the token, assuring easier access to prizes of several sorts."<ref name="PB">{{Cite book | last = Banerjee | first = Parthasarathi | title = Biomedical Innovation in India: With a Comparison to China and Others | date = 2007 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=dLT2PMgI7MsC&q=guha+GRC+india%2F&pg=PA231 | pages = 232–234 | isbn = 9788124112274 | access-date = 7 April 2014}}</ref><br />

During its formative years (1960–65), GRC had 33 professionals from major national institutes such as [[AIIMS]], [[CMC Vellore]], [[IISc]], [[Tata Memorial Centre]], [[Indian Institute of Chemical Biology]], [[Banaras Hindu University]], [[Bhabha Atomic Research Centre]], and [[TIFR]].
