INFORMATION RE: MEMBERSHIP


All Members / Delegates for the Feb 2013 Conference may please note and circulate this information to interested participants:
(Abstracts are being screened at present and you will get intimation within the next few weeks)

1. For the time being, no new Life Members will be enrolled. This decision does not affect
the status of earlier enrolled Life Members.

2.  10-Year Membership is available. Those interested may send Rs. 3000/- by DD in the name of MELOW payable at
Chandigarh  to Prof. Anil Raina, Dept. of English, Panjab University, Chandigarh, 160014.
OR
 make direct bank to bank transfer. Our account is with Canara Bank in Sector 14, Chandigarh: SB AC No 2845101001459;
IFSC code: CNRB0002845. 

Those who send their membership fee before 31st March 2013 will be enrolled members till 31st March 2022. We suggest that it is more convenient to use the Direct Bank-to-Bank Transfer mode, as it saves the sender DD and postage charges, and the organizers  the effort of making frequent trips to the Bank to deposit the DDs. However the senders should not forget to email Prof Anil Raina giving details of the direct transfer.

3. All those (non Life Members) who presented papers in Hyderabad are members till 31st March 2013. They can wait till then. However,  in case they send their 10-year membership now, it will be valid till 31st March 2023.

4. Two year Block  Membership (up to 31.03.2013) is available for Rs. 600.

5.  There is no need to send your application for membership by post. You may  apply via email. However, do mention your contact and professional details in the email. 
 

6. Membership (+ Delegate fee to be announced shortly) is a must for paper presenters in any MELOW Conference including those presenting papers in Feb 2013 Conference. However, non-members can attend Conferences as observers by paying the requisite Delegate Fee.
