NB: G&R Billimoria Youth Seminar on Sat., 5th August 2023

Release of ASM Journal Volume 92

We are happy to share with you that on 26 th November 2024, on the occasion of the 220 th Foundation Day of the Asiatic, the Society has released Volume 92 of the ASM Journal. This is the latest volume of the journal released by the Society. The editors of the journal are Professor Madhu Kelkar and Professor Usha R Vijailakshmi. It has come to the Society's notice that some unscrupulous elements are collecting money for publishing papers in the Society's Journal and are offering bogus certificates. Some of the candidates had mailed these certificates to the Society. These certificates carry the names of the editors of previous volumes. The Asiatic Society does not collect money for publishing research papers in its journal, nor does it guarantee publication, and most importantly it does not issue any certificate. Authors must verify with the Society before submitting any papers, and papers will be published only after rigorous peer review and editing. The Society does not take responsibility for any payments made to third parties claiming to represent the Society, or for their papers appearing in a cloned/spam journal. Ours is a print-only journal. We do not publish the journal online.

THE ASIATIC SOCIETY OF MUMBAI
THE GULESTAN & RUSTOM BILLIMORIA YOUTH SEMINAR
Theme: “Wellbeing among the Youth: Relationships and Self-Preservation.”
The Asiatic Society of Mumbai regularly conducts the Gulestan and Rustom Billimoria Youth Seminar for college students. This year, the Asiatic Society of Mumbai will present the 21st edition of the Gulestan and Rustom Billimoria Youth Seminar on the theme: “Wellbeing among the Youth: Relationships and Self-Preservation.”

Concept Note:
Being happy in any relationship is important for human development. Providing confidence and security in the formative years is imperative for the development of a healthy society where young people form relationships based on respect and consent. The instinct for self-preservation, though considered innate, is most often cultivated. Postponing the instinct for immediate gratification, respecting contrary views and acceptance of rejection are some of the attitudes that need to be inculcated in childhood. If physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing is not nurtured among the youth, it leads to conflict which then escalates into violence, harming both the aggressor and the victim.
The Youth Seminar wishes to explore these aspects and the specialist Dr. Aparna Joshi will enable the participants to understand the nuances of creating a sense of wellbeing among the youth.

Day & Date : Saturday, 5th August, 2023
Time : 11.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.
Venue : Durbar Hall, Asiatic Society of Mumbai, Town Hall, Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Mumbai 400 001
