Guidelines for Organisation of Regional Seminars

The Indian Society of Agricultural Economics has a scheme for organising Regional Seminars, from time to time, on topics of current importance. Senior agricultural economists working in agricultural universities/social science research institutions would be assigned full responsibility to hold such Seminars under the auspices of the sponsor University/Department of Agricultural Economics and Indian Society of Agricultural Economics. The organisers will need to submit a detailed synopsis of the subject selected for the Seminar and identify persons in the region who will be able to submit research-based papers on the subject. This preparatory work is essential before the Society could consider financial assistance. The idea is to promote analysis of region-specific issues supported by field level research ongoing in the region on selected subjects. The guidelines for the organisation of the regional Seminars can be had from the Honorary Secretary of the Society.

  1. The scholars/institutions proposing to organise such Seminars are at liberty to select the subjects but the focus should be on aspects of importance to the region; and on giving an opportunity to scholars in the region to discuss their work among themselves and with select senior scholars.
  2. The scholars proposing to hold such Seminars should submit to the Society well structured and focused synopses on regional themes along with a list of the proposed paper-writers from the concerned region(s). On the basis of this information the Society would be able to decide on the financing of the Seminar.
  3. The number of papers invited for discussion at a Seminar should be restricted to about 10 to 12 and the number of participants be limited to about double the number of papers accepted for discussion but not exceeding 25. The duration of the Seminar shall be limited to 2-3 days. The organisers of the Seminar would have the freedom to decide about the selection of paper-writers from the region concerned as well as the participants.
  4. Abstracts of the proposed papers on the subject selected for the Seminar should be submitted within three months after they are solicited by the organisers so that they can form the basis for selection of the paper-writers/participants. Besides, some invited papers may also be commissioned.
  5. The scanning of the Abstracts, and the selection of paper-writers on the basis thereof will be the responsibility of the scholars/institutions proposing to organise the Seminar. Copies of the Abstracts and the list of selected paper-writers will be submitted to the Society by the Organisers. The Society will then publish the detailed synopsis of the proposed Seminar in the ensuing issue of the Indian Journal of Agricultural Economics.
  6. It is desirable to ensure that the invitation to paper-writers is issued well in advance, say about one year in advance of the holding of the Seminar.
  7. A first draft of the paper should be submitted by the selected paper-writers to the organisers within three months of the approval of the Abstracts. The draft papers would be peer reviewed and returned to the paper-writers with the comments of the referees, if any, for revision. The reference of the first draft of the papers will be made to the senior scholars experts by the organisers.
  8. The revised papers should reach the host institution before 2 months of the date fixed for holding the Seminar, so that they can be circulated well in advance to all participants. Copies of the revised papers will be sent to the Society by the organisers as soon as they are received from the paper-writers.
  9. The Society would nominate a senior scholar from the region to guide the organisation and conduct of the Seminar. The organisers of the Seminar and the nominated expert should conduct, guide, and monitor the discussions at the Seminar, advise the authors to revise their respective papers in the light of the comments made at the Seminar and the comments offered by the nominated senior expert for possible publication by the Society.
  10. The organisers of the Seminar should also prepare a summary of the Proceedings of the Seminar and send it to the President of the Society, immediately after the holding of the Seminar.
  11. The Society would provide financial assistance to the host institution, the proposal of which is accepted by the Society, to the extent of Rs. 50,000 to meet the expenses of the Seminar. The organisers of the Seminar should send to the Society item-wise statement of accounts duly certified by the head of the Department of the host institution or its auditors.
  12. The Society may consider publication of the papers submitted at the Seminar along with the proceedings. In such an eventuating, the editing of the papers and proceedings will need to be done by the organisers.
