students who are participating in other societies' sessions. Those desirous of receiving such
support may write to the Organizing Secretary with details of the session in which their paper

lack of dissemination
of information. Senior members of participating societies are requested to kindly bring this to the
notice of their younger colleagues and students, so that these funds may be used.
