Dear Friends and Well-Wishers of INSTUCEN,

We are reaching out to request your support for an exciting and important initiative we are taking from November 2024. As you know well, INSTUCEN trust is dedicated to fostering the love of knowledge and cultural enrichment. Now we aim to invite eminent experts to deliver free monthly lectures on topics in rationalism, archaeology, literature, philosophy, architecture, art, music and more. We aim not only to cover trending or “important” topics, but in true INSTUCEN style, to cover off-beat, neglected and even controversial issues that promise light over heat.

We want these lectures to be FREE, ONLINE and OPEN TO ALL, ensuring that anyone with a passion for learning can attend, regardless of financial means or geographic location. Through this initiative, we aim to reinforce the 3Cs that INSTUCEN lives by: curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Our aim has always been to bring people together to explore the richness of human history, culture, and thought, in India and abroad. However, we cannot do this alone.

Your contributions will help us cover essential costs, such as

• speaker honorariums,

• technical support, and

• promotion,

ensuring that our lectures continue to be accessible to as many people as possible. By supporting us, you will be investing in a present where there is an 80(G) certificate.

And of course, in a future where, to quote Tagore, the mind is without fear, where the world has not been broken up into fragments, where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection, and where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way.

We enjoin you to walk with us on this journey by making a donation today and helping us bring pathbreaking lectures to our community.

With warm regards for the eternal student in all of us,

Mugdha Karnik
Managing Trustee,
