Abstract: Information is treated as most important and valuable domain these days. There are many domains and fields which are closely related with information such as Information Science, Communication Science, Media Studies, Archival, Library Science, Information Technology, and Information Studies and so on. Hence a full-fledged association and foundation is established on such fields or more clearly on information fields (like the establishment of Information Schools / I-School caucus). The I-School has its own strength and specialization; together they share a fundamental interest in the relationships between information, people, and technology. The main aim and objective of this paper include Information Foundation and the domain surrounding by it. Paper talks about I-School organization, their main aim and objective and current activities in a brief manner. I-School caucus foundation plays an important role for healthy Information and Technological Infrastructure building by promoting education and research in the domain of information and technologies and allied fields. The paper is conceptual in nature and also helpful for the formulation of educational policies in the field of Information Sciences and allied fields.
