Campaigns and funds – Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies

Fundraising at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies

The OCHS Development Planning Committee works to raise funds in support of our academic activities, to support our students, and for a new and permanent home in Oxford.
Our trademark is built on world-class scholarship and the promotion of understanding, deep connections, and social cohesion, and we embody a non-political, and non-sectarian view of Hinduism. This view is reflected in our fund development strategy.

Our funds support:

Academic posts, research programmes, and teaching.
Scholarships and bursaries for students.
Buildings and infrastructure.,
