Concluded on 19th March evening, this conference was a way to celebrate the mathematical and academic legacy of Professor Kapil Hari Paranjape turning 65 this year.

The conference topic was selected carefully to align with the general research areas in which Professor Paranjape has been actively involved.

This conference is being funded by NBHM and IISER Mohali.

There was a special cultural evening in his honor on 18th March at 6 pm in LH7, where various speakers of the conference told us several stories about his kindness and devotion to mathematics. Following this, there was a special dinner arranged at 7.30 pm in the cultural center of IISER Mohali. We ended the conference on 19th March (Kapil's birthday) with a cake cutting session for Prof. Kapil and Prof. Dipendra (whose birthday is 21st March by the way) after the last lecture by Prof. Ramanan, Kapil's PhD supervisor. 

In response to all these, Prof. Kapil has written up a thanking note, whose opening paragraphs, however, looks to us another masterpiece of his vision.
