The All India Oriental Conference (AIOC) was established in 1918 by a resolution of the Executive Board of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute. Its first session was inaugurated in Pune on 5th November 1919, and in 1944 it was formally registered with its headquarters at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Pune. Over the decades, the conference has brought together eminent scholars, researchers, and orientalists from across India, providing a distinguished platform for academic dialogue, research exchange, and the advancement of Oriental and Sanskrit studies.
The All India Oriental Conference promotes scholarly interaction, research presentations, and intellectual discussions in the fields of Sanskrit, Oriental, and Indological studies. The conference serves as a prestigious platform for academicians, researchers, and students from across India.
All India Oriental Conference was born of a resolution of the Executive Board of Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in 1918 and was named All India Oriental Conference. 5 of November 1919 was the day of inauguration of its first session held in Pune. In 1944 it was registered by the name All India Oriental Conference with its headquarters finally located at Bhandarkar O. R. Institute Pune.During the last 44 sessions which were held at various distinguished Universities all over the country the conference provided an opportunity for both, budding and veteran orientalists to come together and share their academic thoughts. Symposia were held on topics of high academic interest such as the date of the Mbh. War, Jain contribution to Indian Culture and Kushana era. The seminal contribution of the AIOC has been, however, important recommendation to the Central Govt. for the development of Orientology. Many organizations of National importance such as the Sanskrit Commission, Central Sanskrit Board, Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan and some of the National Projects such as the new Catalogorus, Catalogorum, Encyclopedic dictionary of Sanskrit, the Vedic word concordance and the Critical Edition of Puranas owe their birth to the AIOC. It has thus established itself as, in the words of Late dr. R. N. Dandekar, “the authorized national forum of the orientalists”.
The sessions are ordinarily held once every two years at places decided by the Executive Committee.AIOC is registered under Society’s Registration Act XXI of 1860 and has its own Rules and Byelaws. The Council of AIOC consists of all members who have attended three or more sessions of AIOC and have submitted paper(s) and members, not more than ten, co-opted by the Council upon the recommendation of the local committee. The Council elects 18 members from among its members to the Executive Board. These eighteen members then elect from among themselves General Secretary, Joint General Secretary and Treasurer. During each session the Executive Committee, the Sectional Presidents of the current as well as former sessions elect the Sectional Presidents of the next conference.
