Our History & Mission
The aim of IAGRG is to promote interest in the phenomena related to Gravitation and to facilitate research in related areas.
In February 1969, Indian relativists met for the first time in a conference in Ahmedabad. It was organized to honour and felicitate one of the pioneers of relativity and gravitation research in India, Professor V. V. Narlikar, on attaining 60 years of age.
At this historic meeting, Professor P. C. Vaidya proposed the formation of a society of Indian relativists. Thus, IAGRG was born, with Professor V. V. Narlikar serving as the founder President.
Today, the association connects institutions and scholars across India, supports meetings and schools, shares opportunities, and helps sustain a vibrant scientific community in gravitation, cosmology, and astrophysics.
