Hey,
Whats goin on in this front?... plz keep updating if any progress is made...
from previous post I had only 3 minor points.
-Somebody raised point what if non-jat wants to attend. I would say not only they should be allowed but you guys should make sure non-jats also attend. I know everything will be done very well becuz many wise people will be involved in planning etc.. just wanted to add, among other issue about rural development etc 'caste system' should be discussed..
-There is should be some discount for students. Funding for event should not depend on participation cost only... you guys should try for sponserships and donations.. 200$ per NRI might repel some valuable participants.. people can give whatever they want but minimum fee should be low...
-Follow up: Just having a convention and coming home is equal to not having a convention and coming home

) I mean main focus should be what we want to achieve by this... Rural development??? well, that happens everyday... it's cliched phrase... plz sketch out conceret plans about what you will be discussing and then doing "after the talking is over in convention"... and then convention can be inaugrational step and auspicious start in that direction... scientists work hard whole year and attend conventions to show what they DID and then go home... I mean labs... and start working again... you guys should approach some researcher in agriculture univ and Karnal diary etc for talks about rural technology etc...
I say there should be youth comittee too and elders should discuss apathy towards education among youth....
Anyway..
