Section 2 of ASA : Section 2: Declaration Of Asiatic Society As An Institution Of National Importance

Explanation using Example

Imagine a group of students from various parts of India planning to visit historical research institutions. One of them suggests visiting the Asiatic Society in Kolkata because they learned in their history class that it was established by William Jones on January 15, 1784, and it has a vast collection of artifacts and manuscripts that are significant to Indian heritage. Another student highlights that the Asiatic Society is not just any institution, but one that has been officially recognized by law as an institution of national importance, as stated in Section 2 of The Asiatic Society Act, 1984. This legal recognition underscores the Society's role in preserving and promoting the study of Asian arts, literature, and culture.
