Delivering ‘words of encouragement’ at the inaugural session, the Vice Chancellor Fr.(Dr) Stephen Mavely reminisced about a drive out in the desert on a winter night and while looking into the sky through a telescope how he felt that he was ‘looking into the heart of the Universe’. He also said that the new campus being developed at the Tapesia Gardens will also have an ‘observatory’ set up. Expressing his best wishes to the participants he said, “I hope that this workshop will open a whole lot of windows and possibilities for imagination”.

The Guest of Honour and also the Workshop Resource person, Prof. Ranjeev Misra, Scientist G, IUCAA, Pune, in his introductory address explained the aim of the Workshop saying, “The workshop is not about teaching Astronomy or Astrophysics. It is not going to be a lesson on Data Analysis. I have spent 15 years in observing and analyzing these data and it is not something one can learn nor teach in 3 days. However, in this workshop we will explore the prospects of where you want to go in future as an academician, whether you would like to take up a study in Astronomy”.
