Although functional programming has been around since the beginning of
computer science, it is seeing a renaissance recently. While the
academic community is seeing an explosion of activities, many
industrial organisations are embracing the functional programming
paradigm. We are a group of functional programming enthusiasts who
believe there is a lot of potential in the growth of functional
programming in both the industry and in the academic institutions of
India. Our aim is to:

1. Improve the collaboration between the functional programming
   community in India.

2. Encourage the adoption of functional programming and related formal
   techniques in the Indian industry.

3. Build a functional programming eco-system within the country by
   building close cooperation between the industry and academia.

Functional programming has been around since the beginning of computer
science. Nevertheless, despite its immense advantages, it has remained
largely obscure and relegated to a small community.

Recently, however, functional programming is seeing a new renaissance.
The academic community is seeing an explosion of activities, and many
more commercial organisations are embracing the functional programming
paradigm.

We are a group of functional programming enthusiasts who believe that
functional programming holds a lot of potential for Indian institutions
and that there is need for a more concerted effort to promote functional
programming in both the industry and the academic institutions of India.

Our aim is to:

1. Improve the collaboration between the various functional programming
   communities in India.

2. Encourage the adoption of functional programming and related formal
   techniques in the Indian industry.

3. Build a functional programming eco-system within the country by
   enabling closer cooperation between the industry and academia.

We encourage others to join us in our pursuit of these goals.
