The quantity of students from South Asian countries, such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, is particularly low at the University.Therefore, opening opportunities for these students to come together is important. Also, the organization is not be religiously affiliated and openly accepts members of South Asian decent or interest. In hope of attaining unity amongst one another, this association helps to bring a diverse mix of cultures from South Asia into the community at the University of Rhode Island.
