“This is in retrospect to the latest multiple bomb blasts in Mumbai.
We reassure you on security and inform you that The Convention Centre has its own security system and team that takes care of the complete area which makes it fully secured and safe for the participants and exhibitors. We also suggest you to stay at this venue hotel so as to avoid daily traffic and save time. Hence it is our recommended hotel for your stay during this conference.�/em>

An Appeal
Indian Society for Cotton Improvement (ISCI), Mumbai in collaboration with Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi and International Cotton Advisory committee (ICAC) is organizing the mega event of “WORLD COTTON RESEARCH CONFERENCE (WCRC-5)�for the first time in Asia at Mumbai in India from November 7 to 11, 2011.
The theme of the conference is ‘Technologies for Prosperity� Just like previous WCRCs organized in Greece, Australia, South Africa and USA, WCRC-5 is of international scope and participation. These four-yearly events of world cotton researchers have influenced not only the research and technology agenda of this commercial crop but also benefitted the policy makers in suitably modifying the funding pattern of R & D.
WCRC-5 invites you to participate as delegates in the conference. Those interested to submit papers and posters may kindly see this website for details. All papers and posters will be peer-reviewed and selected with a desire to advance international understanding of production research, ginning, economics and textile research issues. Internationally invited plenary papers, keynote speakers and panelist shall focus on current issues of cotton that can be addressed through research and development. Scientists from nearly thirty countries around the globe are participating in the conference. Every one will have opportunity to have dialogue on topics of interests ranging from biotechnology, breeding, cotton husbandry, input use, physiology, protection, abiotic stress management, harvesting, ginning, fibre quality issues, economics, marketing, textile research, cotton by-product utilization to technology transfer.
This five-day event has been organized in the most serene environment of “The Renaissance Mumbai Hotel and Convention Centre�with over 23,000 sq. meters of indoor and outdoor convention space and state-of-art conference facilities. The Renaissance terrace and garden make for the perfect ambience to host large-scale receptions and international conventions along the banks of Powai Lake.
Kuoni Destination Management (KDM), a leading Event Management International Company and market leader for nearly half century, has been appointed by the National Organising Committee for organization of WCRC-5. There will be plenty of options to choose between sessions and also for post conference participation.
It is my sincere appeal to you all to avail this excellent opportunity and make the theme of the conference “TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROSPERITY�a dream come true for cotton growers, ginners, spinners and textile manufactures.

President, ISCI and
Chairman National Organising Committee
