Accommodation and Arrival information for participants

• For several reasons (including Delhi security), it is not possible to set up counters for the IASc meeting neither at the railway station nor at the airport.
• All participants (including Academy staff, fellows, speakers, teachers etc.) coming by Indian Railways are requested to exit out of the Ajmeri Gate side. This is towards increasing direction in the platform number and the other side is called Paharganj.
• After exiting from the Ajmeri Gate side, please look for people carrying placards/posters with Indian Academy of Scienceswritten on them near the pre-paid taxi stand. The ND station is undergoing rennovation - to avoid confusion find your way towards Metro Station and keep away from pimps.
• All participants coming by Air should also look for people carrying placards/posters with Indian Academy of Sciences written on them. The pre-paid counters are located before one exits the arrival terminal and is maintained by Delhi Traffic Police.
• In those rare cases where the aforementioned people with placards cannot be located, it is requested that the participants take pre-paid taxis to IIT-Delhi and come to the registration desk (opposite seminar hall) and our volunteers will then escort you to your guest house.
