It is an exceptionally opportune time for Indian scientists working on
Neutron Stars. We have just had the launch of 'Astrosat' followed,
exactly a week later, by India formally joining the SKA
initiative. Therefore, it also is time for us to prepare to take full
advantage of these facilites and realise the full potential of our
community. It has been felt that to facilitate this there should be
regular meetings of this community. After our very successful
first meeting last year here is the second
one in the series. This year we are planning to augment the
discussion meeting with a brief pedagogical component for the younger
generation.
