Oh that's a good news Monu, we might expect Sunita William and prof. Yash Paul (both big faces in their fields)  visiting there. Indeed it would be great to participate. and that too in beautiful unique Kerala.

You are right Hilltreker, its going to be a big congress beneficial for all of us.

Kerala is also known as "Gods own Country" due to its picturque sceneries. The Indian Science Congress has a history of getting together of established scientists of Indian subcontinent.
