Vacation Students' Programme The annual Vacation Students' Programme (VSP) was held during May 14 - June 29, 2018 at IUCAA. There were 17 students fromvarious colleges / universities / institutes. The selectors had a tough task to select the participants from a large number of online applications. Along with lectures on basic and advanced astronomy (held in common with the Introductory Summer School in Astronomy and Astrophysics), the students worked on individual projects with faculty members and post-doctoral fellows of IUCAA, with topics covering a broad range of subjects across observational, instrumentational and theoretical aspects of astronomy and astrophysics. The students were also taken a tour to the GMRT facility operated by the NCRA, and IUCAA Girawali Observatory. The students enthusiastically participated in the programme, and presented their project work in seminars held at the end of the session. Gulab C. Dewangan was the faculty coordinator of this programme. No. 115 - July 2018 02 Congratulations to... Aseem Paranjape , on being awarded INSA Medal for Young Scientist (2018)
