“…Both optical and near infra-red (NIR) observations taken with this telescope reveal that images of sub-arc-sec resolution can be obtained for a significant fraction of photometric nights. They also indicate that the performance of the telescope is comparable with its peers located elsewhere in the world (Omar et al, 2017;Kumar et al, 2018;Sagar et al, 2019Sagar et al, , 2020Sagar et al, , 2022. This observing facility has led to a good number of national and international collaborations including BINA (Joshi and De Cat, 2019).…”

In this manuscript, an overview of the accomplishments of the Indo-Belgian co-operation is presented in the current era of multi-wavelength global astronomy. About two decades ago, in the field of astronomy and astrophysics, academicians from India and Belgium embarked on formal interaction and collaboration. The Belgo-Indian Network for Astronomy & astrophysics (BINA), initiated in 2014, has been very productive and its activities have set a landmark for Indo-Belgian co-operation. Under this program, three international workshops were conducted. Several exchange work visits were also made among the astronomers of the two countries. Since the necessary foundation work has already been done, continuation of the BINA activities in future is strongly recommended.

The 4K × 4K CCD Imager is the first light instrument for the 3.6[Formula: see text]m Devasthal Optical Telescope and is producing broad-band imaging observations of many Galactic and extra-galactic sources since 2015–2016. Capabilities of the CCD Imager are demonstrated recently through several publications using the well-calibrated multi-band deep photometric results as expected from other similar facilities globally. In this paper, we summarize some of the recent up-gradations made to improve the Imager, i.e. mounting the new filter wheel casing, replacing stray light baffles and discussing the fringe pattern corrections in redder filters. Some of the new science initiatives like galaxy-embedded faint point sources including WR stars and the observations of low surface brightness galaxy clusters are also discussed.
