Lucknow is popularly known as the City of Nawabs. Country manners, beautiful gardens, poetry, music, land fine cuisine patronized by the Persian-loving Shia Nawabs of the city are well known amongst Indians and students of South Asian culture and history. Mughlai cuisine, Chikankari and Kathak embody its glorious syncretic culture. The Rumi Darwaza, modelled on the Roman gate of Constantinople and the BaraImambara complex stand testament to Turkish architectural influence and Indian craftsmanship, while Residency and La Martiniere building tell tales of European presence culminating in the 1857 rebellion which climaxed in Lucknow.We hope the delegates would enjoy the salubrious climate and ambience of the lush and green fully residential campus of SGPGIMS spread across 500 acres. The Conference will held in the Shruti Auditorium & the Newly constructed adjoining lecture theaters.Dr. Ashok KumarOrganising Secretary
