With an aim to foster the academic excellence among the scholars and admirers of Buddhist Studies and its allied disciplines, it was thought to establish a platform for the academic deliberations, discussion and debate on the teachings of the founder of Buddhism.
Besides, it was also taken into consideration to have a look over the relevance and compatibility of Buddhist discourses contained in various languages (like Pali, Sanskrit, Sinhalese, Burmese, Thai, Chinese, Tibetan, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Kuchean, Sogdian, Apbramsha etc.), philosophy, thought, history (including art, architecture, archaeology, iconography) with modern day research findings thereby bridging a link between the past and present.
With this objective, the following members on 02.04.2002 framed an organization namely, INDIAN SOCIETY FOR BUDDHIST STUDIES:
1. Prof. Baidyanath Labh 2. Sh. Madan Mohan Sharma 3.Prof. Kedar Nath Sharma
4. Prof. Anita Billawaria 5. Dr. Niharika Labh 6.Dr. Lalit Gupta
7. Sh. Jivan Nath Sharma
Since its very inception, the Society has been engaged in the propagation of Buddhist Studies as an academic discipline in the Indian universities and colleges, and other research institutions, besides highlighting the significance of the Buddha’s humanistic message.
