The Karnataka Christian Women Writers & Scholars Forum is a pioneering initiative dedicated to identifying, documenting, and amplifying the intellectual, literary, and cultural contributions of Christian women scholars and writers in Karnataka. The Forum seeks to create a vibrant scholarly network that encourages research, writing, mentorship, and public engagement, while addressing the historical underrepresentation of women’s voices in academic and cultural discourse. An eminent group of scholars is actively guiding this initiative, including Dr Deepti Prema, Dr Mona Mendonca, Dr Roseveera D’Souza, Dr Rekha Jogul, and Mrs Clara Fernandes. Together, they are engaged in identifying women scholars across disciplines, fostering collaborative research, and building platforms for publication, dialogue, and public recognition. Through seminars, publications, mentoring initiatives, and scholarly collaborations, the Forum aims to strengthen women’s intellectual presence in Karnataka’s academic and cultural life, contribute to gender-sensitive scholarship, and inspire future generations of women scholars and writers.
The Karnataka Christian Artists Forum is a creative platform dedicated to nurturing, showcasing, and strengthening Karnataka’s rich Christian artistic
heritage. The Forum brings together artists, musicians, performers, and cultural practitioners across diverse disciplines to celebrate creative expression
as a vital dimension of faith, culture, and social life.
By providing spaces for performance, exhibition, dialogue, and collaboration, the Forum seeks to document artistic traditions, encourage contemporary
creativity, and foster meaningful engagement between art, culture, and society. It aims to support emerging and established artists alike, while contributing
to the preservation and renewal of Christian artistic expressions within Karnataka’s plural cultural landscape. Through concerts, exhibitions, workshops,
festivals, and interdisciplinary collaborations, the Karnataka Christian Artists Forum affirms art as a powerful medium of memory, identity, and hope, and
as an essential resource for cultural vitality and social cohesion
The Think Tank of Scholars in the Humanities is a collaborative intellectual forum that brings together experts in sociology, history, political science,
economics, philosophy, theology, and cultural studies to engage critically with contemporary realities. Rooted in interdisciplinary dialogue, the Think Tank

By fostering sustained conversation across disciplines, the Think Tank aims to inform public discourse, contribute to policy-relevant scholarship, and deepen
understanding of complex social phenomena. Through seminars, position papers, public lectures, and collaborative research, it serves as a space where scholarly
insight is placed at the service of society, culture, and the common good.
