An Appeal - Friends of the Institute
(Institute for Oriental Study, Thane) 
Institute for Oriental Study, Thane, is a voluntary organization registered under Societies Registration Act and Bombay (Maharashtra) Public Trusts Act. Donations to the Institute are exempt from Income Tax Act under  under section 80(g). 

The Institute is working for the promotion of Indian Culture and Sanskrit language. To achieve this we organize various seminars, lectures, workshops and exhibitions periodically. We are also trying to establish a research library and museum at Thane. At present we have about 15,000 volumes and about 3000 sanskrit paper manuscripts. These activities require huge expenditure. We have no Government Grants. The activities of the Institute are run by Individual donations. A cursory glance at our Website, specially the seminars conducted by us during the last 15 years will give the idea of work done by us during this period. 

 This is the age of knowledge and information. So we are trying to develop and enrich our library by acquiring books by donation. Most of the collection of ours today, is by  individual donations to the library. To make library rich in references we need to add literally thousands of books. The only source is to purchase books, as many of the books are getting out of print in this field. Various Western Universities have also published remarkable titles on Indian and Sanskrit Studies. We only can acquire them either through a philanthropist donation or purchase. We are also computerizing our library so atleast the accession of the books will be available online. There are various journals published within and outside India related to the subject. We are just not able to subscribe to them due to lack of funds. I am sure this situation can change, if you wish so. Your becoming friend of the Institute will not only help us financially but will also be a great source of Inspiration as well as encouragement to us.  I request you humbly, to become a friend of the Institute.
