The inaugural conference and launch of the above Association took place at the G B Pant Institute for Social Science in Allahabad on the 28th and 29th of March 2008.

This very successful conference was the result of energetic work on the part of Professor R N Kapoor and a team of enthusiastic helpers. In the course of just six months leading up to the conference, more than a dozen local U3A Groups were formed and there are many more in the process of formation.
