IMPORTANT: The field trip option is integrated into the registration process online. Like registrations for the Sammelan, these field trips will also be on first-come, first-registered basis. Please note that if any route does not get filled upto even 50% of the capacity, organisers will be forced to club this route with any other route as appropriate. Similarly, if the registration for any route gets completed soon, that option will be closed for others.

Please find HERE the draft program schedule for the Mysuru sammelan. While this overall program’s line up is impressive, the detailed schedule is yet to be put together for all the parallel sessions, and will have a wide spectrum of experiences, expertise and innovations captured from the ground, from different states of South India mainly. 

The public events which are also open to all citizens in and around Mysuru are diverse, educative and celebratory. 

Hurry up and register soon!
