We continue to support and develop RSA networks across India. If you would like to connect with RSA members based in India or learn more about regional activities, please get in touch with Marcus Atkinson (marcus.atkinson@regionalstudies.org), who can provide further information and help facilitate introductions. We are anticipating the prospect of hosting a networking session soon, along with exploring new initiatives we believe will benefit all involved.
