Mode of operation at the 15 World Sanskrit Conference The 15 World Sanskrit Conference will operate in 18 thematic sections (with six sessions running concurrently) chaired by the conveners specializing in their respective fields. The conveners will determine the profile to their sections and select the papers for presentation. During the conference, they may personally preside as chairpersons over the meetings of their sections and/or nominate additional chairpersons, if necessary, for this purpose. The conveners of each section can partly modify the title of their section to highlight the theme of a specific panel. To preserve high scholarly standards at the conference, they may preselect a limited number of speakers in their section. Scholars wishing to present a paper should send the title and abstract of their paper to the secretariat in New Delhi. Papers will be forwarded to the relevant conveners who will review and make the final selection. All conveners will be expected to act as editors of the papers presented in the sections when the volumes of conference proceedings are prepared. th
