INSTUCEN—India Study Centre—is an organisation committed to opening the vistas of studying Indian culture, civilization, history, art, languages and literature, philosophy, architecture, medical science, natural science, astronomy and mathematics.
India—this great melting pot of civilizations, religions, social structures and traditions—is and has been a great laboratory of human effort, since prehistoric humans walked its earth until now, when India is pushing ahead on all frontiers.
At INSTUCEN, we aim to cater to the serious mind endeavouring to understand India in all its complexities and intricacies. Serious research scholars, young enthusiasts, college students and special interest groups, of Indian and other nationalities, are all welcome here.
Thus far, we have conducted an international conference looking at the alternative viewpoint of climate change, Mumbai; 3-day site workshops at Kanheri and Elephanta caves, Mumbai; a geology exhibition of unique rocks, fossils, and minerals from India; a workshop on Indian temple architecture at the Shiva temple, Ambarnath; a prehistoric stone tool-making workshop; a survey of Warli tribal settlements in Borivali, and lectures for school children explaining the geology of Mumbai.
Our faculty is drawn from the reputed universities and colleges of India, who focus on making learning fun. Functional collaborations with Deccan College Post-graduate & Research Institute, Pune; the Archaeological Survey of India, New Delhi; the University of Mumbai; and SP Jain Institute of Management & Research, Mumbai, expose our students to a plethora of excellent facilities and research materials.
We invite you to learn the wonder that is India with us!
