By making a gift to the Center for South Asia Studies (CSAS), you are
helping to preserve and extend the excellence of South Asia studies at
UC Berkeley. Donations from individuals and businesses increasingly provide
vital support to our program of research, training, and extra-curricular
activities. We are currently embarking on two principal development efforts:
the Friends of CSAS Fund and the Bengali Studies Initiative.
