'''Akashmitra Mandal''' is an [[amateur]] [[astronomer]]s' organization (Regd.No. MAH/557/96/Thane) in [[India]]. Its objective is to popularize [[astronomy]] and induce students, enthusiasts to make useful contributions in the field of astronomical research. It also aims to carry systematic study of the subject. It was the first organization in [[India]] to organize the amateur astronomers' Meet in India. Since its establishment in August 1986, many [[seminar]]s, [[workshop]]s, Basic Astronomy Courses for students and elders, Sky Watching Programmes were conducted by the organization. It has also enhanced the astronomical [[literature]] in India by publishing the "Directory of Persons Associated with Astronomy in India".<br />
