To Visit us

Over the past few years we have had innumerable visitors and guests. While this is welcome, it has affected our everyday work and made life quite difficult.  So we have decided that we will set aside certain dates through the year to attend to visitors.

It is expected that all people who want to visit should inform us about their intention well in advance. The purpose and the schedule of the visit should be mutually worked out and then confirmed atleast a month before the scheduled date. This will give us enough time to prepare for / organise the visit. 

For most visitors we have organised three days of field visits and talks during the 2^nd / 3^rd weekends (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) in January, April, July & October. The schedule for the three days visit will be shared with you on request and visitors may join in for any one, or two or three days.
