Initially, IRTC was being administered as the Research Wing of KSSP, through one of its sub-committees. But, in 1995, it was found appropriate to register IRTC as an independent autonomous society, with its own Governing Body and Executive Committee.

Its General Body consists of the Executive Committee members of KSSP in addition to twenty nominated members from among Peoples’ Science activists and scientists and academicians from educational institutions, research centres and governmental agencies. The general functioning of IRTC is governed by a twenty-member Executive Committee with the President of KSSP as its Chairperson.

The research activities of IRTC are guided by a Research Advisory Committee (RAC) consisting of a number of senior scientists and experts from different fields.
