More Details

Hi All,

Vidya Prasarak Mandal, Thane ( www.vpmthane.org ) would like an opportunity to host KohaCon 2011.

VPM, Thane is an educational institute located in Thane which is right on the outskirts of Mumbai, the commercial capital of India. VPM, Thane is the founder of the Granthalaya.org ( www.granthalaya.org ) project which is doing a lot to promote Koha in public libraries in this region.

VPM, Thane is on a large campus which houses various colleges like Arts, Commerce, Science, Management, Advanced Study center, Polytechnic providing education from 11th standard upto PHD. The campus has five libraries which are in the process of migrating to Koha. VPM also has BLIB and MLIB courses on the same campus so has a number of library science teachers and students.

The campus has several seminar halls well equipped with Internet connectivity, Audio and Video ( projection, recording & conferencing ) equipment as well as web casting capabilities. The campus also has excellent canteen facilities and in Thane city we have Domino's and Pizza Huts too..

Thane city has several nice hotels & is very close to Mumbai so air connectivity is not an issue.

The ideal time would be first week of November as it is Diwali holiday's so wont conflict with academic schedules. November is also a very pleasant season in this region.

India is a beautiful country and you wont have a better excuse than KohaCon to visit us. So what say ya all?

Regards, Koustubha Kale
