Title: Impact of observational facilities on study of star clusters in India

Abstract: The Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) has contributed enormously to the growth of multi-wavelength observational facilities in the field of Astronomy and Astrophysics. In this commemorative lecture on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee celebration of IIA particular emphasis will be given to the establishment of the Vainu Bappu Observatory and the Indian Astronomical Observatory. Use of these as well as other observational facilities for the study of star clusters as a tool for stellar evolution and star formation will be highlighted in the talk.
