numerical simulations, novel statistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The list of invited and contributed speakers (can be found here - http://tiny.cc/z6fmlz ) had a good mix of nationality (~ 50% foreign and ~50% Indian), gender and career stage (tenured faculties, early career researchers, postdocs, PhD and Masters students). A detailed list of participants (~70) of the conference with their affiliations can be found here - http://tiny.cc/wdgmlz . To find innovative solutions to the various observational and technical obstacles faced by these new-generation experiments and to analyze and interpret the unprecedented amount of observational data generated by them, we will need a large pool of highly skilled and motivated researchers. With this goal in mind, the following week of the conference was dedicated for a five-days-long school (January 27 - 31, 2020 ) for Masters and Ph.D. students, postdocs, and early career researchers who wish to conduct active research in this vibrant field. The school consisted of a series of lectures (on cosmology, structure formation, first stars, CD-EoR, numerical simulations, statistical tools, radio interferometry, observational strategy and interpretation techniques), hands-on demonstrations, and discussions by the leading national and international experts in the field (detailed list of topics covered during the lectures and hands on sessions can be found here - http://tiny.cc/nagmlz ). The most popular session of the school was a three hour long game (designed and conducted by Erik Zackrisson of Uppsala University) where the participants were competing against each other to design the best observation strategy for different real life astrophysical problems. As a part of the school, Erik Zackrisson gave a public lecture on ‘ Searching for life in outer space ’. The public lecture was attended by 150+ people from the IIT- Indore community. This school was part of the ongoing effort of the SKA-India consortium, which has been conducting such schools annually since 2016. A detailed list of participants (~40) of the school with their affiliations can be found here - http://tiny.cc/87fmlz . The Coordinators were Suman Majumdar andAbhirup Datta (IIT-Indore) and RanjeevMisra (IUCAA). Public Outreach Activities ScienceToys Demonstrations in Schools, Pune From January to March, 2020, Rupesh Labade (IUCAA) organised and conducted science toys demonstrations at different schools in and around Pune. These include Novel Junior College, Chinchwad, Maharshi Karve Vidyalay, Pune, Mahilashram High School, Pune. Around 300 students benefited from this activity. TelescopeAssemblyWorkshop at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad BITS - Pilani, Hyderabad organised telescope assemblyworkshop during January 18 - 19, 2020.
