I.C.N. Merger Workshop to go Online !!

In an excellent initiative by the C.C.I. (especially for the “aam aadmi” bourgeoisie like us who can’t get in !!), the Commission will be broadcasting the sessions of the I.C.N. Merger Workshop, 2014, which starts from tomorrow, on an Official Youtube Channel created exclusively for the Conference.

It is still not entirely clear whether the entire event will be broadcast live or only the relevant speeches by the speakers, but either way, it a great way to finally get a chance to listen in on the conference.

The link to the channel can be found here.
