October 30 - November 1, 2002  at Ahmedabad

Reception counters will be arranged at Ahmedabad airport and Ahmedabad railway station for the delegates of the Congress, who inform their arrival at least two days in advance, and for whom accommodation is arranged through the organisers.  Reception counters will function on October 27 and 29 (0600 - 2200 h) and the morning of October 28 and 30 (0600 - 1000 h), as necessary. Delegates are requested to reach these reception counters for guidance. Conveyance will be arranged from the reception counters to the place of stay. Delegates arriving after 1000 hrs on October 30, 2002 are requested to reach the venue of the Congress on their own.

Transport will be arranged for the delegates from the place of stay to the venue and back, on each day of the Congress.

The period from October to December being the peak tourist/festival season at Ahmedabad, the accommodation during this period is scarce and costly.
