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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
