Annual Report 2025

Here are three highlights from this year’s report:

• Major progress in Digital Humanities
We launched a new online manuscript database that makes thousands of Indic manuscripts easier to browse, search, and study, bringing cutting-edge tools to traditional scholarship.

• Major new publications and academic projects
Our Fellows secured significant book contracts, including The Oxford Handbook of Gaudiya Vaishnava Studies (OUP) and a major new volume in the Oxford History of Hinduism. These firmly position the OCHS at the forefront of global Hindu Studies.

• Expanding international teaching and fieldwork
From our Summer University in Kathmandu to collaborations across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, our students gained exceptional opportunities for study, research, and cultural immersion.

And through it all, OCHS Online continues to flourish, offering over 40 courses and welcoming learners from more than 60 countries—the heart of our community of lifelong students.
