Abstract
Here, we summarize the ongoing activities of an international bilateral research project entitled "Belgo-Indian Network for Astronomy and astrophysics (BINA)" running jointly since 2014 by the astronomers of various Indian and Belgian institutions. The network activities are being financially supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST; Government of India) and the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office (BELSPO; Government of Belgium). The structure and mandate of the BINA network are presented. The observational facilities being used to achieve the goal of the project are delineated. The overview of the activities and future perspective in the light of upcoming observational facilities are also highlighted.
