Currently, we have decided two meeting dates and mark the following dated in your calendar.
The next meeting will be held on 22nd August 2015 at IITD along with a seminar (on earthquakes by Prof. D. M.Banerjee).
The annual day of DHC will be held on 21st November 2015 and the venue has not yet decided. Similarly, we could have a seminar during the Annual day on general topic and suggestions are welcome.
Have a nice summer holidays,
With best regards,
