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. The pedagogic school is open for phd students, starting post-doctoral fellows and a few exceptionally motivated MSc students.
