About Us

The Mattoo Center for India Studies at Stony Brook University was established in 1997 to promote a better appreciation of Indian thought, culture, and civilization, by developing expertise and resources for studying India, for the benefit of the university and the community. Nurtured by the dedicated efforts of students and faculty, university administration, and the Indian American community, the Center has evolved to become an academic success story, a proud community asset, and a major national resource center on India.
