Introduction: Self-directed learning (SDL) is the process in which individuals take the initiative and learning environment involves all other aspects of the institute. Good SDL ability is the foundation of lifelong learning. Students’ perception of the educational environment plays a subtle role in learning and contributes to learning input and students’ achievement. Self- directed learning is integral to public health teaching. Objectives: To assess the perceptions of learning environment and self-directed learning readiness and association between the two among public health researchers and also to elicit the factors associated with SDLRS. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to December 2023 in a public health institute in Kolkata. A total of 102 participants across five courses were selected by Complete Enumeration method and their self-directed learning readiness (SDLRS) and perceptions of learning environment were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire. The data was analysed in SPSS, version 16. Ethical approval was taken. Results: The mean age of the study participants was 26.7 years and 64.7% of the study participants were from MBBS background. The median academic hours was 18 hours per week, 37.3% of the participants were studying in the institute for less than 6 months and 20.6% for more than 24 months. The overall perception of learning environment was more positive than negative. There was significant positive correlation between SDLRS and Learning Environment (Spearman’s rho=0.281, p=0.004). Age (p=0.015) and prior academic qualification (p=0.016) were significantly associated with SDLRS. Conclusion: SDLRS was associated with positive Learning Environment. The overall perception of SDLRS was average and the SDL ability improved with duration of study in the institute and deteriorated with age of the study participants
