  • Australia-India Council Grants Program

    The Australia-India Council (AIC) welcomes funding applications from individuals and organisations in Australia for projects which are likely to promote long-term contact and cooperation between Australia and India. AIC grants are intended to provide seed funds for innovative proposals relevant to the mission and goals of the Council.

  • It is with pleasure and anticipation that we invite IASA members with recent book publications, published around the time of the 2022 Chennai Congress to send in 2 volumes. The book should definitely be a 2019 publication, preferably in the latter part of the year (or early 2019). We will be happy to organize an IASA Book Release in the course of the Congress. We look forward to introducing your work to our other IASA members. The volumes should reach us by 30 November 2020, unless the books are to come out in a December 2021 or January 2022. In that case they should reach us as soon as copies are available. In any case, we should get intimation along with a brief write up and publication details by 30 November 2021 so that we can plan the event.

  • Please send the volumes to:

EVENT REPORT

International Conference

Dear Participants,

As we’re sure you’re already aware, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic variant OMICRON has led to a need for social distancing to help prevent the spread. For this reason, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the IASA-2022 Conference which was scheduled in January 2022 at the Department of English, University of Madras, Chennai until further notice. While we know this is disappointing, we hope you understand this is a necessary step to help keep each other safe in these unprecedented times.

We’ll update you with the new dates  as soon as they’re confirmed. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with Dr. Supala Pandiarahjan (<supalaindia@gmail.com>) or Pradeep Trikha (pradeeptrikha@gmail.com).
