Start Astronomy Club in your region

Dear Brijmohan,
The news were exiting for me that you are going to form a club at Vidhya nagar
Our Club is Registered under Society act and trust act in 1992
To form a club is not hard task
You have option to start club with registered or without registered
Though many of the astronomy organizations in India are not registered
under above act they are working better
I think first you gather interested people set some objectives aims
and activities for example Popularization, workshops library, Sky
gazing etc.
Select some responsible person for office barer like President, Vice
president, Secretary, Treasurer, Executive committee members etc.
decide some amount of annual fees or life member fee for the club
I will send you the memorandum of association and articles of
association by post so study them and go ahead
Near by District Charity Commissioner Office will also help about the
registering procedure
There isn't any need for wait all these things.
Create group, give it name and start working
